Diabetes related query
I am a 20 year old who has a normal lifestyle and a normal vegetarian diet and regular exercise. I am really scared of getting diabetes. Can you tell me how I can avoid both the Types in my lifetime by starting now. Is there any way to know if I already have it?
Hi.
The symptoms of Diabetes are very vague and unreliable. However, if your parents have Diabetes, you are more prone to getting it.
Don't stress. You are young.
Try living a healthy lifestyle.
Avoid eating junk food.
Exercise daily for minimum 40 mins, moderate intensity
Try keeping your BMI in the range of 19-23.5
If you want to check if you have Diabetes, you can do the Hba1c test.
