9. Stay active
Exercise can be a great way to manage your diabetes, which is why it’s important to try to engage in at least half an hour of physical activity every day. If you don’t feel capable of exercising for 30 minutes straight, split it up in 10-minute spurts and carry on – what is important is that you keep moving.
10. Prepare a first-aid kit
Like we have mentioned before, any minor injury can turn into something big because of diabetes. That being said, it’s important to have some first-aid supplies in hand at all times. Here are all the essentials you should always have with: Hydrogen peroxide – you can use it to clean wounds Triple-antibiotic cream – it can be used to dress scrapes and cuts Sterile gauze – to cover up the wounds and protect them However, if you suffer from any diabetes-related nerve problems or have circulation issues, you should not treat your wounds at home. Seek professional help from a wound care center or a doctor.
11. Put on your Medical Alert Jewelry
Wearing your medical alert bracelet everywhere you go is the easiest way to let people know you have diabetes, and it can be a total lifesaver if you ever need urgent medical assistance. To avoid leaving it at home, keep it by your keys or next to your watch.
