Nailing the Normal Range - Blood Sugar Strategies For Controlling Your Glucose
Posted by admin in Prescription Diabetes Drugs on January 23rd, 2011
If you want to stay in the normal range, blood sugar strategies are a must. Control is pretty straightforward as long as you attend to your body, eat right, and exercise.
Here are a couple of tips that will help you stay in the range:
1. Don’t guess about your blood glucose levels. Your body is a wonderful, sensitive instrument, but it can’t beat a glucose meter. People with blood glucose issues often become exquisitely tuned to their bodies. But that’s not enough. If your blood sugar is low and you need to treat yourself, you need to know precisely how low you are. Test!
If you don’t test, you’re on your way to complications. It’s that simple. Fewer than half of patients who guess even come close to their actual glucose level, rarely within even 50 mg/dl. Test regularly if you have diabetes - twice a day if you have type 2 diabetes, before meals and at day’s end if you have type 1.
2. Exercise. Exercise. Exercise. It will burn up glucose in place of insulin. That means you have more give in your diet and your glucose range will vary much less. It helps keep your glucose in check if you’re prediabetic and it can even help balance your food and insulin if you have to inject.
And you don’t have to be a marathoner. Consistency is more important than intensity. Thirty minutes to an hour of moderate exercise a day can reduce your hemoglobin A1c by 1 percent and lower your chance of heart attack, stroke and many cancers. Most people will need to add about 5,000 walking steps a day. That’s not as much as it seems, only about 2 1/4 miles or a brisk 30 minute walk.
