- You are very thirsty and you have to urinate frequently
- You feel tired
- You lose weight
- You see blurred or double
- You have wounds that heal badly
- Your breath smells like acetone

There is still no medicine to cure type 1 and 2 diabetes. But do you have type 2 diabetes and do you use medication? Then by adjusting your lifestyle you can partly reduce your medication use or even go through life without medicine. Check out the tips for a healthier lifestyle below.

Try to lose weight

In the case of overweight, the body gets trouble to keep the blood sugar in balance and it reacts less well to insulin. That can lead to diabetes. By losing a few pounds, you can often achieve a lot. Even if you already have high blood sugar, you can often still prevent diabetes.

Healthy food

Try to eat less carbohydrates and sugars. And choose pasta, bread and rice for wholemeal products. It contains a lot of fiber, which causes the blood sugar level to rise slower and less. And do you fancy a snack? Then choose a healthy variant.

Ensure sufficient exercise

For a healthy lifestyle you have to be in motion for at least half an hour every day. For example, go to the shop by bike and take the stairs more often. Do you want to lose weight? Then make sure you move one hour a day. Do you already have diabetes 2? Even then, movement is very important. It ensures that your blood sugar remains stable.

Smoking and diabetes

Everyone knows that smoking is unhealthy. But did you know that the risk of diabetes is twice as high as you smoke? Your body then no longer reacts well to insulin, which makes the blood sugar too high and the risk of diabetes rises.

Consult a doctor and do a check-up regularly.
