Diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by elevated blood glucose levels, which can negatively affect blood vessels, the heart, eyes, kidneys, and nerves.
Recommendations for disease prevention:
- Maintain a balanced diet, including more vegetables and whole grains, while limiting sugar and fat intake.
- Pay attention to physical activity — at least 30 minutes a day, such as walking, dancing, or morning exercises.
- Monitor your weight — even a small weight loss of 5-10% can significantly reduce the risk of developing diabetes.
- Drink enough water and avoid sugary beverages.
- Regularly check your blood sugar levels, especially after the age of 40 or if you are overweight.
Fasting blood sugar levels should not exceed 5.6 mmol per liter.
Doctors also recommend undergoing a medical examination at least once a year.
