Don’t worry about it
It’s normal
Just follow
1. Diet & Nutrition
• Low-carb, high-fiber diet: Focus on whole grains, legumes, vegetables, and healthy fats.
• Protein-rich meals: Include lean protein sources like fish, chicken, tofu, and dairy.
• Avoid processed foods & sugary drinks: Cut down on sodas, sweets, white bread, and refined carbs.
• Portion control: Even healthy foods in large portions can spike blood
sugar.
• Increase healthy fats: Olive oil, nuts, avocados, and seeds improve insulin sensitivity.
2. Physical Activity
• At least 150 minutes/week of moderate exercise (e.g., brisk walking, cycling, swimming).
• Strength training (2–3 times/week) to improve insulin sensitivity.
• Daily movement: Avoid prolonged sitting; take short walks after meals.
3. Weight Management
• Aim for a 5–10% weight loss, if overweight, as it significantly reduces
diabetes risk.
• Track progress: Use a food diary or app to monitor calorie intake and physical activity.
4. Stress Management & Sleep
• Reduce stress: Practice meditation, yoga, or deep breathing.
• Prioritize sleep: Aim for 7–8 hours of quality sleep, as poor sleep increases insulin resistance.
5. Regular Monitoring & Medical Follow-Up
• Check
HbA1c & blood glucose regularly to assess progress.
