What are the early signs of diabetes?
Early signs of diabetes can include increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, blurry vision, and slow-healing wounds. If you experience these symptoms, it's important to get screened for diabetes as early detection can improve management and outcomes.
What foods help control blood sugar levels?
Foods high in fiber, lean protein, and healthy fats help regulate blood sugar. Great choices include leafy greens, whole grains, berries, nuts, lean proteins (like chicken or fish), and legumes. Avoiding processed sugars and refined carbs can also help maintain stable glucose levels.
Can diabetes be prevented?
Type 1 diabetes cannot be prevented, as it is an autoimmune condition. However, Type 2 diabetes can often be prevented or delayed through a healthy lifestyle—maintaining a balanced diet, exercising regularly, managing stress, and keeping a healthy weight.

A normal fasting blood sugar level is 70-99 mg/dL. After eating, it should stay below 140 mg/dL. If your levels are consistently higher, it’s important to talk to a doctor.
