I've been dealing with diabetes for almost 17 years, and I can't seem to keep my blood sugar levels in checkthey usually sit between 180 and 240, both fasting and postprandial. On top of that, I have trouble sleeping and often wake up feeling groggy and exhausted. What can I do to better control my sugar levels?

Focus on a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Limit your intake of sugary and processed foods. Aim for regular physical activity such as brisk walking for at least 30 minutes a day. Establish a bedtime routine to improve your sleep quality. Avoid screens before bed, create a comfortable sleep environment, and aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night. Regularly monitor your blood sugar levels throughout the day and keep a log to track patterns. This will help you and your doctor make informed decisions about your treatment plan. Remember, these are general recommendations. It's important to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and adjustments to your diabetes management plan.
