1. Exercise is probably the best thing you can do. It aids circulation, controls weight and helps your moods.
2. Eat more fibre from fruits, grains and cereals. Fibre helps lower cholesterol and causes the energy in food to be absorbed at a slower rate. Fibre foods are full of vitamins and minerals.
3. Eat smaller meals, more often. It helps keep your blood sugar level.
4. Weight loss can be harder for diabetics but if you eat a healthy diet and exercise, you will eventually reap the rewards. In the meantime, you will be providing your body with good nutritious foods.
5. Take care of your teeth. You are more prone to gum disease than others are. Make sure your dental hygiene is high.
6. Check with your doctor before taking any medication, even aspirin or hay fever preparations. Your condition can be aggravated by some side effects.
7. Make sure your feet are checked several times each day. Keep them clean and dry. Regularly have your nails trimmed and inspected. You cannot afford to get any infections and due to nerve damage, you may not even be aware of a cut until it is too late.
8. Eat a diet approved by your doctor and a diabetes help group. There are foods to avoid and you need to control your blood sugar levels. These groups have plenty of good nutritious, tasty diets to follow.
9. Alcohol can add empty calories so cut back or avoid it altogether.
10. Get the whole family involved. They will benefit with the healthy diet and exercise. You can become closer by working together and the support you receive will help you cope.

There is a lot of things most people take for granted e.g., the government controls the amount of dangerous chemicals in toiletries and make-up. This is not possible, given the amount of new chemicals and combinations of chemicals developed every year. We need to take a proactive approach and look out for ourselves. http://www.naturallythebest.info
