As you age, it’s important to manage your blood sugar levels. This is especially true if you have diabetes. Your body’s ability to produce insulin may decrease over time. Meaning, the amount of glucose in your blood will remain too high for too long and cause damage to your body.

But there are some things you can do to help manage your blood sugar:

Eat a healthy diet
You should eat a balanced diet with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, along with whole grains, lean protein, and low-fat dairy products. Limit your intake of saturated fats and refined carbohydrates (like white bread).
Exercise regularly
Exercise helps keep your metabolism working well, which is important for maintaining healthy glucose levels. Try walking for 30 minutes each day or going for an easy jog once or twice per week. This can also help boost your mood.
Monitor your progress
To monitor how well you’re managing your blood glucose levels, keep track of both fasting (before breakfast) and post-meal measures. These will give you an idea of whether or not you need additional treatment options.

You can also visit us at New Life Pharmacy & Medical Supply for blood glucose health screenings.

The results can help you determine whether or not your medication therapy is working. They can also help you prevent complications that could arise from high or low blood sugar levels.

We’ll also recommend any supplements or pharmaceutical in Florida that may be necessary for your condition.
