Did you know that over 400,000 people live with diabetes in Singapore? The lifetime risk of developing diabetes is 1 in 3 among Singaporeans, and the number of those with diabetes is projected to surpass one million by 2050.

To take on the diabetes prevalence in Singapore, we should try to incorporate some healthy lifestyle changes for diabetes management. Instead of relying on medications.

Eat a healthy diet

Prefer more whole fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins in your diet. Go for fats from healthy sources like avocados, nuts, and olive oil. Avoid refined carbohydrates and hidden sugars. Check food labels for hidden sugars in the ingredients list. Your body needs fats, carbs, and proteins to function, so make sure you choose the healthiest ones.

Lose weight

Losing just 5-10% of your body weight can control your blood sugar level, reduce your cholesterol level and lower your blood pressure. This will also reduce the risk of developing other health complications such as heart disease and will keep you healthy.
