5. Avoid crash diets (trend diets)
Many trending diets — such as the glycemic index, paleo or keto diet — can help with weight loss. However, there is little research on the long-term benefits of these diets or their benefits in preventing diabetes.
6. Say no to to***co
Smoking increases the risk of diabetes by 50% compared to non-smokers, especially in women. Therefore, it is recommended to quit smoking/no smoking to prevent diabetes. People with diabetes should not smoke, and limit their proximity to cigarette smoke.
7. Drink alcohol in moderation
Moderate alcohol consumption can be reduced, but drinking too much can increase the risk of diabetes. Moderate amount of alcohol in women and men over 65 years old is about 1 unit/day (equivalent to 330ml draft beer, 100ml wine, 30ml spirits); Men under 65 years old up to 2 units per day.
Excessive alcohol use can cause chronic pancreatitis, reducing the ability to secrete insulin, which is responsible for controlling blood sugar, leading to diabetes.
8. Check your sugar regularly
Along with the above diabetes prevention methods, patients should also check their blood sugar regularly according to the doctor's advice on the time and the target blood sugar level. Keeping blood sugar levels as close to target levels as possible helps prevent or delay diabetes-related complications.
