What type of diet is recommended for better blood sugar control?
A low-carbohydrate diet with high protein and minimal fat intake is recommended for better blood sugar control. It’s also important to check the glycemic index of foods to determine their impact on blood sugar levels.

What is the glycemic index, and why is it important?
The glycemic index (GI) measures how quickly a food raises blood sugar levels. Foods with a lower glycemic index are recommended because they help maintain better sugar control and prevent spikes in blood sugar.

How much exercise is recommended to help manage blood sugar levels?
It is recommended to engage in 30 to 40 minutes of cardio exercise at least 4 to 5 times a week. Activities such as walking, running, Zumba, aerobics, and swimming are effective options for maintaining blood sugar levels.

Why is it important to follow prescribed medication for blood sugar control?
It is crucial to follow your physician’s prescribed medication for blood sugar control. Adjusting the dosage on your own without consulting your doctor can lead to complications and disrupt your blood sugar management.

What should you do if you're unsure about the impact of certain foods on your blood sugar?
If you’re unsure whether a particular food will increase your blood sugar, it’s advisable to check its glycemic index. Opting for foods with a lower glycemic index will help in better-controlling blood sugar levels.

Can you change your medication dosage on your own if you think your blood sugar is under control?
No, you should never change your medication dosage on your own. Always consult your physician before making any adjustments to your medication to ensure safe and effective blood sugar management.
