DR.AKSHAY G. NARAWAD M.B.B.S. M.D. (GENERAL MEDICINE) HOW TO LOWER THE RISK OF GETTING DIABETES KEEP A HEALTHY BODY WEIGHT There is a strong link between diabetes and overweight. The more overweight you are, the more vulnerable you are to getting diabetes disease. Losing only 5%-10% of your total body weight can significantly improve your blood sugar levels and lower insulin resistance. CONTROL YOUR MEAL AND REDUCE THE PORTION Choose meals that don't make your blood sugar levels rise, this means limiting the intake of carbohydrates. Also, do not eat an excessive portion of a meal to avoid being overweight and maintain a sugar level. BE MORE PHYSICALLY ACTIVE The more frequently you move your body, the more sensitive your body is to insulin. Start to take the stairs rather than the elevators, or walk around while you are on a phone call. More than that, decide to exercise on the weekend. AVOID SMOKING Those who regularly smoke cigarettes are 30 to 40 percent more likely to get diabetes than nonsmokers. The toxic chemicals in cigarettes harm your body’s cells and able to interfere with their normal function. As a result, this may cause inflammation throughout the body, which can also decrease insulin effectiveness. CONTACT US- WWW.THEPHYSICIANSCLINIC.COM/
