Health: A nutritious diet is advised by experts to combat diabetes
A nutritious diet is crucial to managing diabetes, according to Abiola Oniyitan, a dietician at the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital in Sagamu, Ogun State.
A healthy diet, according to the dietician, is just as crucial to managing diabetes as prescription drugs.
In Ogun State’s Isara-Remo, Remo North local government area, the Talabi Diabetes Centre hosted a one-day free medical screening program and diabetes management seminar. Oniyitan gave a speech at the event.
The 2022 World Diabetes Day commemorative event, with the theme “Education to protect tomorrow,” included medical screening among other things.
“Diet has a significant role in the management of diabetes, therefore we must make sure we are knowledgeable in order to prevent any future issues,” she stated.
A lot of people eat whatever; we don’t even consider what we should and shouldn’t eat.
Some foods can raise blood sugar levels. Dieting is essential since it will help us avoid other Diabetes issues if we can reduce how much we eat.
She recommended the general population to prioritize regular medical checkups over self-medication in order to stay in shape and be aware of their health status.
She declared, “Continuous medical check-ups are really vital since you can follow up on your health condition from there.”
