Diabetes is a chronic condition that requires careful management to prevent complications and maintain a good quality of life. At La Vida Discount Pharmacy, we are committed to helping you manage your diabetes with the right tools and support. Here are some essential tips to keep your blood sugar levels in check:
Diet and Nutrition:
A balanced diet is crucial for diabetes management. Focus on eating plenty of vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Avoid sugary drinks and high-carb foods that can spike your blood sugar levels.
Regular Exercise:
Physical activity helps to lower blood sugar levels and increase insulin sensitivity. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise, such as walking or cycling, most days of the week.
Monitoring Blood Sugar Levels:
Use a blood glucose meter to keep track of your blood sugar levels. This will help you understand how different foods, activities, and medications affect your blood sugar.

Take your diabetes medications as prescribed by your healthcare provider. If you have any questions or concerns about your medications, our pharmacists are here to help.
