Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Diabetes is a lifestyle disease that can be managed by lifestyle modification and weight management. Taking medication to control blood glucose is also very important. Daily exercise for half an hour and a strict diet avoiding oily, fried, sugary foods. A calorie-restricted diet helps manage body weight and blood glucose levels. Oral antidiabetic medication and insulin form an important part of diabetes management. Follow up regularly with a doctor to check blood glucose levels and change medication as required.

I hope this helps.

Follow up in case of queries.

Thanks.
