*How to support people with Diabetes disease*
There are a number of ways to support people with diabetes and these include:
1. It's important that their diet is well balanced with greens, fruits and foods that do not contain a lot of sugars e.g. matooke, unprocessed rice, unpolished posho etc.
2. Encourage these individuals to do physical exercise however simple they can be for example walking, to allow the body utilize the excess sugar
3. Regularly encourage them to check maintain a normal body weight, too much weight increases a body's burden to breakdown sugars and may introduce other diseases like high blood pressure
4. Prompt treatment, encourage them to take their medicine as prescribed by the doctor, irregular drug compliance affects the body's response to treatment
5. Regularly water taking is highly encouraged whenever they want to. This allows the body to eliminate waste products like ketones which are harmful to the body
6. Regularly visit a nearby health facility whenever you are suspicious of abnormal sugar levels
7. Do regular blood sugar checks, it's encouraged that if possible, have your own testing kits, this will always save your time but also allow you test whenever it's convenient
8. Support them to develop positive stress management skills. Too much stress may disorganize the body's ability to regulate sugars
9. Always encourage them to take bitter remedies like aloe vera extracts at least once a week to allow their gallbladder breakdown fats with ease. This prevents abnormal accumulation of fats
10. Avoid body wounds as much as possible and if a diabetic patient gets any wounds it should be managed as fast as possible however simple it appears
11. Always do peripheral massaging of the legs and hands to promote good blood circulation.
