For this, you can speak with your doctor or your medical management team. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are already in the Fitterfly&#8217;s diabetes management program then your coaches can help you set the goals. When it comes to managing your diabetes. Set goals for your blood sugar reading. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitterfly.com\/blog\/what-is-hba1c-why-do-i-need-to-do-it\/\">Hba1c<\/a> and fat loss. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also set goals that tackle the challenges you have in managing diabetes. For example, if you are not able to manage diabetes because you don\u2019t have time. You can set a goal to take one hour out for your health each day. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second aspect of goal setting is to have a plan that helps you achieve it. And the best way to do this is to make things a habit. This way it becomes a part of your life. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, you need to have a beverage in the morning, the same way exercising for 45 minutes should be a habit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>2. Monitor to know you are on track\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t track your progress and the effect of something new that you started on your life you will not be motivated to continue it. Our brains are wired to thrive on accomplishments. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whenever you achieve a task you feel good. So tracking allows you to have this feel-good moment every day. Also, if you start tracking your progress you will know that what you are doing is working. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, let\u2019s say you started strength training, checking your BMI and body fat percentage and seeing it reduced will boost your confidence. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And when you have been diagnosed with diabetes, strength training also has a positive effect on your blood sugar levels. Make sure to check your blood sugar levels regularly. For this, you can use a glucometer or a continuous glucose monitoring device.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>3. Build habits to meet your goals\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you know why Fitterfly\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitterfly.com\/fitterfly-diabetes-care-plan\">diabetes management programs<\/a> have been able to help over 20K Indians manage their diabetes? It is because it is based on a clinically proven formula of success &#8211; habit building. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We use intensive lifestyle intervention by making small changes in your lifestyle that allow you to be consistent and sustain the progress you have made even when the program is over. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, asking you to add a portion of salad and dahi to your meal. Over time, it becomes a habit to add them to every meal. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the same way, any changes you make to your lifestyle to manage your diabetes must be made into a habit. Like exercising every day, pick a time in the day and duration and make sure to follow it till it becomes a habit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>4. Take help &amp; support where you get it\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We make our resolutions ourselves, but there is no reason why we have to accomplish them on our own. When we need an insurance policy we consult experts, when we need to buy a gadget we consult expert websites or experts. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But when it comes to lifestyle and health, we only seek experts once we are in dire need of them! Change your perspective and take early action. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Fitterly you have coaches that help you with every aspect of your lifestyle that affects diabetes. Namely, nutrition, fitness, stress, and sleep. You can seek experts or find them all in one place with Fitterfly\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitterfly.com\/fitterfly-diabetes-care-plan\">diabetes management program<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And there is no need to manage diabetes in isolation, always connect with your friends and family in the best way and help them create a supportive environment for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>5. Make sure you don\u2019t forget stress &amp; sleep<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you know that sleep is an indication of cardiometabolic health and that stress causes certain hormones to be released which increase your blood sugar levels? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While traditional diabetes management only focuses on diet and exercise. Stress and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitterfly.com\/blog\/videos\/3-top-reasons-why-people-with-diabetes-cant-sleep-well-fitterfly-wellness-dtx-%e2%80%8b\/\">sleep<\/a> can never be overlooked. Make sure that you manage your stress levels with the therapy that works for you best. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, practice sleep hygiene to improve your sleep quality and duration. Not sure where to start? Don\u2019t worry we have got you covered at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitterfly.com\">Fitterfly<\/a>. Our success coaches will help you manage your stress and sleep levels. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But apart from that just make sure to keep gadgets away at bedtime and create rituals that help you feel comfortable and calm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Fittertake<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Fitterfly team wishes you a happy new year but always remember that health and the commitment to healthy habits should never be temporary. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To ensure that you are managing your diabetes like a pro, make sure to keep an eye on your blood sugar levels, take your medicines on time, and make changes to your lifestyle that will help control your blood sugar levels. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But don\u2019t be overwhelmed all you need is a little commitment and a little consistency.
