How to manage diabetes?

My mother-in-law was diagnosed with diabetes a few months ago, and we are trying to understand how to manage it properly. She's worried about her diet mostly. What are the best ways to control blood sugar levels with food and other lifestyle changes?

Listen, diabetes is not a joke. You have to completely cut down on sweets, maida, and cola, and walk for 45 minutes every day. Take your medicines on time and check your sugar levels regularly.

I used to cry when I was first diagnosed, thinking my life and food options were over. It is tough emotionally, but trust me, you will adjust. It's all about lifestyle modification, so stay strong.

Diabetes requires clinical management to prevent long-term damage to kidneys, eyes, and heart. Please consult a diabetologist, get an HbA1c test done, and follow their advice strictly.

Beta, try chewing on a few methi seeds soaked overnight in water, it is very good for health. But always take your doctor's tablets daily; home remedies are only to support your health.

Drinking bitter gourd (karela) juice in the morning has helped keep my levels stable. However, if your sugar is spiking very high or you feel dizzy, please go to a clinic immediately.

Honestly, the hardest part is waking up early to check fasting sugar when you haven't slept properly. But high sugar actually ruins sleep, so managing it is the only way to get a good night's rest.

Beta, eat green vegetables and avoid white rice and potatoes. Walk in the morning and always take your medicines on time as the doctor told you.
