Useful Tips for Diabetics

• All carbohydrates affect blood glucose levels, so it's important to know which foods contain carbohydrates. Choose healthy foods that contain carbohydrates and be aware of the serving size (amount of carbohydrates) needed
• Limit salt intake. Eating too much salt can increase your risk of high blood pressure, which in turn increases your risk of heart disease and stroke. And when you have diabetes, you're already more likely to develop all of these conditions.
• Eat more fruits and vegetables. This can help you get the vitamins, minerals, and fiber your body needs daily to keep you healthy.
• You can always try low-calorie or low-calorie sweeteners (also known as artificial sweeteners) to help you cut down on sugar, for exampleSteviana, Diet SugarorTropicana, Diet Sugar
• Don't forget to keep moving. Being more active will help you control your blood sugar level
• Remember to measure your blood glucose level continuously with home appliances to measure your blood sugar

Normal Blood Sugar Level

• Random blood sugar test: A blood sample will be taken at a random time. Regardless of the last time you ate, a blood sugar level of 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or higher indicates diabetes. A blood sugar level below 140 mg/dL is normal, and a reading between 140 and 199 mg/dL indicates a risk of diabetes
• Fasting blood sugar test. A blood sample will be taken after fasting overnight. A fasting blood sugar level below 100 mg/dL is normal. A fasting blood sugar level of 100 to 125 mg/dL is considered a prediabetes. If the average is 126 mg/dL or higher on two separate tests, you may have diabetes.
• Oral glucose tolerance test: For this test, you fast overnight, and your blood sugar level is measured while fasting. You then drink a sugary liquid, and your blood sugar levels are tested periodically for the next two hours
