Health Tips

Small, everyday habits that help lower your diabetes risk.

1

Aim for 7 to 8 hours of sleep tonight. Poor sleep can affect blood sugar and appetite.

2

Check food labels for added sugar. It hides in many packaged foods and drinks.

3

Check your feet for cuts, blisters, or sores at the end of the day. Small wounds can turn serious if they go unnoticed, especially for people managing diabetes.

4

Choose stairs over the elevator when you can. Every bit of movement counts.

5

Cooking a meal at home instead of grabbing fast food gives you more control over what goes into it. And it's often kinder to your wallet too.

6

Fill half your plate with vegetables at your next meal.

7

If you haven't had a health checkup this year, consider booking one soon.

8

Invite your kids or family into the kitchen. Cooking together is a fun way to build healthy habits that last a lifetime.
