How can I take care of my diabetes at home?
Commit to effectively managing your diabetes by adopting healthy lifestyle habits. Avoid smoking, as it can exacerbate complications associated with diabetes. Maintain optimal blood pressure and cholesterol levels through dietary changes, regular exercise, and medication if necessary. Schedule routine physical examinations and eye check-ups to monitor your overall health and detect any potential complications early. Stay up to date with recommended vaccinations to protect against infections. Take good care of your feet by wearing proper footwear, inspecting them regularly, and seeking prompt medical attention for any issues. Consider incorporating a daily low-dose aspirin regimen under the guidance of your healthcare provider to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. If you consume alcohol, do so responsibly and in moderation to minimize its impact on blood sugar levels and overall health.

What drink lowers blood sugar?
Hydrating with water is a great option to maintain hydration without intake of sugar. Green tea, cow's milk, and fermented milk like kefir may also aid in regulating blood sugar levels. While coffee contains compounds that could potentially assist in blood sugar regulation, further research is needed to confirm its effectiveness.
