  • Monitor your blood sugar level regularly, especially when there are significant fluctuations.
  • Invest in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 15 minutes of high-intensity exercise every week.
  • Lose weight gradually to achieve a healthy body mass index (18.5 to 24.9).
  • Replace refined carbohydrates with whole-grain foods and increase your intake of fruits, vegetables, and other fibre-enriched foods.
  • Reduce your intake of saturated fats (or hidden fats) in foods like chips, crisps, pastries, biscuits, and samosas. Choose omega-3 fatty acid-containing oils for daily cooking. You may use palm oil, mustard oil, groundnut oil, rice bran oil, and safflower oil for frying.
