4. Let go of bad habits.
Poor habits, just as the lack of exercise, will damage any person’s health. However, in the case of people with diabetes, the impact of some bad habits is increased. For example, smoking may narrow your blood vessels, contributing to high blood pressure and circulatory problems caused by diabetes.
Alcohol is known to increase variability in blood sugar levels, and some drinks also have high levels of added sugar. Bad habits are often found together and people who have developed diabetes due to overweight are likely to consume substances such as alcohol or smoke cigarettes, so a comprehensive health plan should be agreed upon with your doctor.
