Take Control of Your Health with Primary and Secondary Diabetes Prevention
Primary and secondary prevention strategies are crucial to mitigating the long-term consequences of diabetes across different stages, from preventing its onset to effectively managing and reducing complications.
Primary prevention strives to prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes by addressing lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, and weight management. These are particularly important if you have risk factors such as obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and a family history of diabetes.
Secondary prevention plays a role after you’ve been diagnosed with diabetes. It focuses on managing and preventing complications through blood sugar control, regular medical checkups, and patient education. This is crucial to preventing the progression of the disease and minimizing the impact it could have on your health.
