The Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialists (ADCES) recommends the following seven self-care behaviors to help you live well with diabetes. 

Healthy eating:
Focus on whole, unprocessed foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Aim for variety and balance in your meals to keep your blood sugar levels stable. 

Being active:
Regular physical activity can help lower your blood sugar and improve your overall health. Any type of movement counts. 

Monitoring:
Keep track of your blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and the health of your kidneys and feet to help you make informed decisions about your diabetes. 

Taking medication:
If you're prescribed medications, take them as directed by your doctor to help you avoid complications. 

Problem solving:
Develop a plan for managing high or low blood sugar levels and know what to do in case of an emergency. 

Healthy coping:
Have a positive attitude about managing your diabetes. It's normal to have mixed feelings and experience highs and lows, so it's important to find ways to cope. 

Reducing risks:
Learn about the complications of diabetes and practice positive lifestyle habits that will benefit you now and in the future. 
By incorporating these tips into your daily routine, you'll be better equipped to manage your diabetes and improve your overall health.
