Diabetes Awareness Month: Small Changes, Big Impact

Did You Know?
In Sri Lanka, lifestyle choices like high-carb diets, lack of exercise, and stress can increase your risk of diabetes. But awareness and simple steps can help you lead a healthier life!


Know the Risk Factors 
- Overweight? Start small with 15 minutes of daily walking. 
- Family history? Get your blood sugar tested regularly. 
- Unhealthy eating? Add more vegetables to your rice & curry. 

Take action today! Early detection is the key to a long, healthy life.

Healthy Living Tips for Sri Lankans with Diabetes 

1. Swap white rice with red rice or quinoa for better blood sugar control. 
2. Practice mindfulness or yoga to reduce stress levels. 
3. Include Sri Lankan superfoods like gotukola and moringa in your meals. 
4. Avoid sugary drinks—opt for herbal teas like coriander or karapincha. 

Prevent Diabetic Foot Complications 
- Wash and Dry Daily: Keep your feet clean and dry, especially between toes. 
- Inspect Your Feet: Check for redness, cuts, or swelling. 
- Wear Comfortable Shoes: Avoid walking barefoot, even at home. 

Take care of your feet, your foundation for a healthy lifestyle.
