Living With Diabetes

Adult

  • Keeping your blood glucose well controlled will help you feel better, more energetic and avoid hypoglycaemia, elevated blood ketones and hyperglycaemia.
  • Discuss with your healthcare professional and learn how to assess and track your blood glucose using a suitable meter.
  • Incorporate foods with a low glycaemic index (GI) into your diet as they give smoother levels of blood glucose throughout the day.
  • Keep stress under control as it may cause your blood glucose to rise. Learn relaxation techniques and exercise regularly.
  • In case you fall sick, make sure you consult with your healthcare professional to have a plan ready as you may need more insulin than normal.
