Do you really think that living a well balanced healthy life is a convoluted task?

Are you a greedy gut and are scared to miss your favourite food? Is doing workouts a tedious task for you?

Even if everything above can be associated with you in some or the other way, let me assure you that you can still take charge of your diabetes.

You must be in charge of many things in your life. If you notice taking charge requires keen observation, having a to z information about it, interest and determination and of course a sense of responsibility.

Now, in case of your health who do you think should be most interested, determined and should take the responsibility? It can be only you. Every challenging situation can be perceived in two ways either a problem and wasting time cursing it or as an opportunity and utilising it best.

If we talk about diabetes it can be observed as an opportunity to rebuild your lifestyle in a healthy way.

You cannot disagree that since a long time you too wanted to start a healthy routine for yourself like waking up early, going for a morning walk, eating a balanced healthy diet on time and enjoying life. Somehow due to other important work you were not able to prioritise it. So diabetes can be taken as a challenge to prioritise the most crucial aspect of your life, your health.

Let us come on the observation part. Again you are the only person who is always with you. No doctor or any family member can be always present to keep a check and record your blood sugar level. Consistent efforts and determination to be healthy and fit again will surely take you a long way.

You do not have to worry about relishing delicious cuisines or about the long tiring workouts. People with diabetes are also advised to eat at regular intervals to balance the lack of energy as the insulin produced in the body is unable to perform its function well. The simple formula that has to be applied here is eat a little less calories than you can burn in your whole day. Diet should be wholesome, at regular intervals and should be rich in fibre. Focus your brain and energy on what all you can eat instead of what should be avoided. Eating healthy and burning the calories the same day will lead you towards a healthy junction of life. Monitor the blood sugar with every new healthy habit you welcome in life and see what works best for you. Keeping a balance with diet and exercise along with the prescribed medicines not only helps you take control of your diabetes but also protects you from the severe eyes, kidneys, heart and blood vessels, nerve damage, foot problems and several dental problems.
