How to Control Diabetes?

Diabetes is, unfortunately, one of those conditions which people have to live with throughout their lives. It cannot be cured but can only be managed as of now. We don’t know whether the future holds a permanent cure for diabetes or not. Here are a few tips which will help you manage your diabetes effectively:

Copper Water

It is by far the most common and effective home remedies you will ever come across. Copper water has a gazillion health benefits and one of them is to keep your diabetes in control. All you need is one cup of water and a copper vessel.  Keep the water in a vessel overnight and drink it in the morning.

Healthy Diet

Limit your carb intake. Carbs turn into glucose that increase your blood sugar levels. Instead, opt for foods that are rich in fiber. Fresh vegetables, bitter herbs, lentils and other sources of protein are a good option.

Sufficient Water

Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. If you can drink more, it’s even better. Sufficient water intake will support kidneys to assist your body in getting rid of toxins. You can also incorporate non-caffeinated and non-sugary teas in your day.

Manage Stress

Stress is never good especially when you are diabetic. Stress can significantly impact your blood sugar levels. When a person is stressed, your body secretes glucagon and cortisol which are mainly responsible for increasing blood sugar levels. Meditation and exercising will help you immensely.

Sleep

Your body needs 8 hours of sleep to function effectively. It not only helps with your diabetes but is greatly beneficial for your overall health. So aim at sleeping early, preferably around 10 and wake up early in the morning. This step will also keep your stress levels in check.

If you are diabetic, it is crucial to check your blood sugar levels daily. However, stepping out of your own home to check your blood sugar levels twice or thrice a day is a huge hassle.
