Diabetes and Heart Disease: How to Manage Your Risk - Seite 2

"You can eat that?"

Diabetes stigma remains prevalent as people continue to misunderstand that diabetes doesn't dictate a specific diet. Aim for healthy, balanced meals - the same advice applies to everyone.

And on top of having healthy, balanced meals, be purposeful about how you navigate your plate. According to a 2022 study, people with Type 2 diabetes who ate vegetables before eating carbohydrates saw an improvement in their average glucose levels when followed up with at the five-year mark.²

"Lifestyle changes for people with diabetes, like trying out food sequencing, don't have to be overcomplicated," said Dr. Mahmood Kazemi, divisional vice president, Diabetes Care, Abbott. "Continuous glucose monitoring helps draw the connections between what's on a plate and how glucose levels are affected - and that benefits the diabetes management journey because informed decisions can happen. The goal is to help people with diabetes demystify the patterns in their glucose trendline over time since every body is different."

It's no secret that balancing a plate with leafy greens, whole grains and protein-rich foods can help protect against heart disease. But by considering how you eat in addition to what, you can better stabilize your glucose levels, which in turn decreases your risk of heart disease.³

What's in: Getting active - starting with a walk.

There's no question that being active is good for you.

However, 39% of adults with diabetes reported being physically active, compared to 58% of adults without diabetes, according to a U.S. survey.⁴ If getting moving feels daunting, consider starting small and try going for a walk. According to a study that compared walking for 30 minutes at any time of the day to walking 10 minutes after three main meals a day, the latter option may be more ideal to help reduce blood glucose levels.⁵

Steadily increasing your walking time better protects against heart disease. Research that followed people living with Type 2 diabetes over eight years found that people who walked at least two hours a week had a 34% lower heart disease mortality rate compared with people that were sedentary.⁶

Take the first step by purposefully incorporating a walk after every meal. Eventually, you'll be able to consider moving up to other physical activities that can also help with diabetes and heart disease, such as resistance training.⁷

What's out: Not setting up time to speak with your healthcare provider.

It's important to make time to connect with your healthcare provider each year - especially to check in about your ABCs:¹
