If the people who live (and eat) with you are in the know about what\u2019s healthy and what\u2019s not, it makes managing your blood sugar that much easier. Think about taking a class with your partner or kids so you\u2019re all up to speed on the diabetes lifestyle. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<div data-amp-style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-amp-style=\"font-family: &quot;helvetica neue&quot; , &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-amp-style=\"font-family: &quot;helvetica neue&quot; , &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\"><b>&nbsp; &nbsp;13.

Too much of it messes with how well your body manages sugar in the blood. If you can get stress out of your life, do it. If not, change how you react to it: Take up meditation, eat and sleep well, see a counsellor, and exercise. Taking care of your mental health boosts your physical health, too.<\/span><\/div>\n<div data-amp-style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<h4><span data-amp-style=\"font-family: &quot;helvetica neue&quot; , &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"><b>&nbsp; &nbsp;14.

But bad ones like saturated and trans fats can be tough for your blood sugar. Fill up on healthy fats like monounsaturated, omega-3, and polyunsaturated ones. Go for fish and lean meats instead of red meat. Avoid fried foods. Choose low-fat dairy, and say no to sauces.<\/span><\/div>\n<div data-amp-style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<h4><span data-amp-style=\"font-family: &quot;helvetica neue&quot; , &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"><b>&nbsp; &nbsp;15.

When that happens, your blood struggles to keep sugar levels low. This makes you go to the bathroom more, which dehydrates you even further. Don\u2019t wait until you feel thirsty to drink. Find a water bottle you like and carry it with you everywhere. Your goal is at least 8 cups of water a day. Ease up on caffeine, too. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<div data-amp-style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span data-amp-style=\"font-family: &quot;helvetica neue&quot; , &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\">For health-related articles click <a href=\"https:\/\/hippotechgroup.com\/ro\/search\/label\/Health-Tips\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/span><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HOW TO CONTROL YOUR BLOOD SUGAR &nbsp; 1.
