Eating a balanced, low-glycemic diet rich in whole foods like vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels. Avoiding refined sugars and processed foods is critical.

Exercise, such as walking, cycling, or strength training, helps improve insulin sensitivity, lowers blood sugar levels, and supports weight loss, which is crucial for managing type 2 diabetes.

For those with type 2 diabetes, losing excess weight—especially abdominal fat—can significantly improve blood sugar control and may even lead to remission in some cases.

While lifestyle changes play a central role, medications (like Metformin, GLP-1 agonists, or insulin) may be necessary to manage blood sugar levels effectively. Regular monitoring of blood glucose is essential to ensure optimal control.
