Supporting Healthy Blood Sugar Through Lifestyle

Blood sugar is affected by food, movement, sleep, stress, medicines and underlying health conditions.

Choose high-fibre foods

Vegetables, legumes, whole grains and whole fruit can help create balanced meals. Pair carbohydrates with protein and healthy fats where appropriate.

Move after meals

Light activity such as walking can be a practical part of a healthy routine. Exercise plans should be adjusted for fitness level, medicines and medical advice.

Maintain regular check-ups

People with diabetes or prediabetes should follow their clinician’s testing and treatment plan. Supplements must not be used to replace prescribed medication.

Protect sleep and manage stress

Inconsistent sleep and ongoing stress can affect appetite and metabolic health. Relaxation practices and a regular sleep routine may help.

Be careful with supplement interactions

Some ingredients can interact with diabetes medicines or contribute to low blood sugar. Speak with a clinician or pharmacist before adding any blood-sugar supplement.
