Changing lifestyles

This is the first step in the treatment of type 2 diabetes (the type where the body does not produce enough insulin or does not respond well to the insulin it produces). This step is also part of the treatment with insulin for people with type 1 diabetes (where the body produces no insulin).

You want to maximize the change in your lifestyle? Just like a Hollywood star, you will pay much attention to your eating and exercising. Here are some lifestyle changes that can help control your diabetes:

* Exercise. In addition to helping you to feel good about yourself and improve your physical appearance, the exercise will help you maintain your weight and control your blood sugar, in addition to reducing your risk of suffering from a heart disease and give you an energy boost.
* Follow a meal plan designed for diabetics. Consult a dietitian to create a personalized healthy meal plan. Most plans are to reduce consumption of fat, salt and sugar and consume more fiber, protein and low fat foods with low GI (glycemic index measures the rate increase blood sugar in a food) such as lentils and couscous.
* Stop smoking. Smoking not only causes cancer. This habit also destroys blood vessels. Diabetes also damages them, which explains why smoking and diabetes is a very bad combination.
