There are four ways diabetic individuals can keep their weight in check..

 A HEALTHY BODIESIZE

The patient should weigh between 18.5 and 24 while in good health. A patient is underweight if their BMI is < 18.5. So according Dr. Santosh Agrawal, the standards are different in India. BMI should range from 18.9 to 22.9. The patient is regarded as obese if their BMI is greater than 23. Therefore, we must maintain a BMI of 18 to 23.

Healthy Eating

He said, "We really have to put the patient on a higher protein, low carb, and high fibre diet." Patients may substitute beans, sweet potatoes, and sprouts for rice and wheat.

EXERCISE

A patient should indulge in moderate activity for at least 150 minutes each week, such as brisk walking, swimming, or cycling. They can also add 75 minutes of vigorous exercise, such as jogging or running. Dr. Agrawal continued, "The patient should also perform strength exercises, such as using stretch bands, for at least two days.

HYDRATION

Patients with diabetes need to stay hydrated. They need to drink at least 2-3 litres of liquids per day.

SLEEP

Insufficient or broken sleep can produce stress in the body, which raises the levels of stress hormones like cortisol. This might raise blood sugar levels, which would require more insulin treatment. Everyday sleep needs to be at least 7-8 hours.
