What it is
Your blood sugar runs higher than normal. Over time, high sugar can harm your eyes, kidneys, nerves, and heart. Good control lowers that risk.
What helps
- Eat regular meals. Fill half your plate with vegetables.
- Cut back on sugary drinks and sweets.
- Move most days - walking after meals helps lower sugar.
- Take medicines as prescribed. Don't skip doses.
- Check your feet for cuts or sores. See us if a sore won't heal.
