You can control the diabetes by change in lifestyle and proper diet plan:-

Eat three meals a day.

Avoid skipping meals and space breakfast, lunch and evening meal out over the day.

Reduce salt in the diet to 6 g or less per day.

Drink alcohol only in moderation.

Don't use diabetic foods or drinks (they are expensive and of no benefit).

.

The recommended minimum amount of activity for Adults - 30 minutes on at least five days of each week.It is essential to find activities that are enjoyable, achievable and sustainable, eg walks, dancing, swimming, bowling, cycling, golf, playing with the children.

How alcohol is useful to control sugar level?

Please do not rule out medication because after a certain stage medication as prescribed by a diabetologist may become necessary.I have following suggestions which you may consider if you find them suitable to you.

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder which is a result of the pancreatic gland in our body either produces little or no insulin or the body has developed resistance to insulin. In both cases,the body cells do not receive the glucose needed for production of energy because insulin is essential for glucose to enter the cells. This results in the blood sugar levels to increase beyond acceptable levels,though your body cells are starved for glucose. This condition is very bad for our well being and over long term may result in severe complications.

Controlling blood sugar levels is a tough job but it is not impossible if you realize that every thing is in your own hands. This is so,because though you may get good advise from doctors and dieticians,it is ultimately Y OU that will have to take all the necessary steps to successfully control diabetes.I am giving certain general suggestions based on my personal experience which you may consider and adopt based on your personal choice.

Diet plays a very important role in managing diabetes. You should reduce intake of foods that are rich in carbohydrates like sweets, rice,wheat,other grains ,potato,beet and other root vegetables rich in starch. You should eat more of vegetables,sprouts,greens and salads that give you lot of fiber,vitamins and minerals. Each meal you take should be smaller but you may have 5 or 6 meals instead 3 meals a day.

Exercise is very important to control diabetes. Daily brisk walking or jogging for at least 40 to 60 minutes is ideal. Such exercise will consume lots of energy and sugar levels come down accordingly.

Mental stress aggravates diabetes. Lead a stress free life by adopting relaxation techniques like music meditation,yoga and breathing exercises.

Consult a diabetologist and get prescribed for medication if necessary and comply with the doctor's advise scrupulously.

Please remember that the most important person in managing your diabetes is Y O U.
