These patients have to maintain hydration because even a small decrease in the hydration level can cause serious health issues. In older diabetics, the thirst sensation may go down, therefore it is important to keep sipping water at regular intervals, especially after exercising and during hot weather. It is advisable to drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of clean water daily.

-Diabetic people must make strict rule to avoid refined foods such as white bread, maida products, cookies, biscuits, and bakery goods. These foods lack fibre and have poor nutritional quality. Patients can take whole meal bread or multi-grain flour, oats, barley, brown rice and fibre rich foods as far as possible.

-To efficiently manage diabetes, people must do regular exercise. It can lower blood sugar, improves circulation, and helps to reduce body fat, build muscle tone and preserve bone mass. Diabetic patients must do aerobic exercise for 30 to 60 minutes such as walking, jogging or running, and cycling.
