How To Manage Blood Sugar Level: Diabetes is a problem that is increasing rapidly these days. Our lifestyle and eating habits are a major reason for this. This disease is now occurring not only in the elderly but also in young people and children. Increasing blood sugar level and not controlling it invites many major and serious diseases. If the blood sugar level is not controlled, it can affect many parts of the body. In many people, diabetes can be prevented or controlled at the first stage itself, if some steps are taken at the right time.
First of all, you should know how much the blood sugar level increases in pre-diabetes. Dr. Priyanka Sahrawat, who is a well-known neurologist, has told 3 easy and effective tricks to control blood sugar level. Let us know what you should do if your blood sugar level goes above this range.
How much does the blood sugar level increase in pre-diabetes? (Pre-Diabetes Blood Sugar Level)
- Fasting blood sugar level in pre-diabetes is 100-126 mg/dl
- 149-199 mg/dl 2 hours after a meal
- HbA1C: 5.7 - 6.4 percent
Risk of Pre-diabetes
1. Risk of type-2 diabetes
The biggest risk of pre-diabetes is that it can turn into type-2 diabetes. If it is not controlled in time, it can also affect other parts of the body.
2. Risk of heart disease
People suffering from pre-diabetes have an increased risk of heart disease and stroke. High blood sugar levels can damage blood vessels, leading to heart-related problems.
3. Effects on kidneys and eyes
If pre-diabetes is not controlled, it can damage the kidneys and eyes. It can cause problems like kidney failure and retinopathy.
4. Nerve damage (Neuropathy)
Pre-diabetes also increases the risk of nerve damage. This can cause tingling, pain and weakness in the hands and feet.
3 Ways To Overcome Pre-Diabetes
1. Monitor blood sugar regularly
According to Dr Priyanka, the first step to keeping blood sugar levels under control is to monitor it regularly. Check your blood sugar level in the morning on an empty stomach and after meals. Note down your readings in a diary so that you can understand the pattern of your sugar levels. This will help you know which foods or activities are affecting your blood sugar.
2. Follow a balanced diet
Choose the right diet to control diabetes. First of all, you have to stop consuming refined and fried foods and increase the intake of fiber-rich foods. This will also keep your weight under control. For fiber, eat oats, brown rice and green vegetables. Eat protein-rich foods like eggs, pulses and fish. Eat fruits with low-glycemic index like apples and berries.
3. Exercise regularly
Dr Priyanka says that physical activity plays an important role in controlling blood sugar. The doctor says that even a 30-minute walk can be very beneficial. Along with this, you can also do yoga and pranayama like Tadasana and Kapalabhati. You can also do light weight training and stretching exercises. Exercise increases the insulin sensitivity of the body and the blood sugar level is controlled rapidly.
