1. Instead of eating a large meal in one sitting, eating smaller portions more frequently throughout the day provides better sugar control.
2. Exercising, even without losing weight, reduces insulin resistance in the body and prevents diabetes. In those with diabetes, exercising (both aerobic and resistance exercises) improves blood sugar control.
3. The timing of exercise and sports helps control blood sugar better. It plays a role: for example, exercising 20 minutes after eating dessert instead of two hours after it reduces the increase in blood sugar.
4. How you cook food affects the damage sugar does to your body, as does what you eat: for example, boiling and steaming greatly reduce the formation of harmful compounds compared to frying and grilling.
5. Consumption of fiber and fibrous foods helps control sugar as it slows down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates in meals.

6. Fructose (fruit sugar) is as harmful to the body as glucose. Fructose causes organ damage regardless of changes in blood sugar.
7. Checking your feet, especially the soles, every day will greatly reduce the occurrence of foot sores due to diabetes in the future.
8. Since high blood sugar weakens the immune system, consumption of foods and vitamins that will strengthen the immune system will reduce this effect.
9. If your diabetes is very fragile (if the sugar levels go to extremes), counting carbohydrates and administering insulin accordingly will help.
10. If dietary changes are implemented without making changes to diabetes medications, they may lead to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Please make these changes together with your doctor in consultation with your doctor
