Living Well with Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is one of the most common chronic conditions in Saudi Arabia, and it is also one of the most manageable.

The three numbers that matter

• HbA1c - your three-month sugar average. Most adults should aim below 7%.
• Blood pressure - keep it under 140/90.
• LDL cholesterol - ask your doctor for your personal target.

Small habits, big results

A 30-minute walk after Isha, swapping soft drinks for water, and filling half your plate with vegetables will do more than any single medication change. Do not stop your medication when you feel well - feeling well is the medication working.
