Stay Super…. Beat Diabetes
Halt the rise
More and more people are getting diabetes around the world. The increase is in great part driven by rising levels of
overweight and obesity and physical inactivity, including among children.
Eat healthy
A healthy diet high in fruits and vegetables and low in sugar and saturated fats can help prevent
Type 2 diabetes, and help people to manage Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes if they have it.
Be active
Being physically active – through at least 30 minutes of regular, moderate-intensity activity on most
days – can help prevent Type 2 diabetes and its complications, as well as help people to better manage
Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes if they have it.
If in doubt, check!
Symptoms for diabetes include thirst, hunger, weight loss, fatigue, and blurred vision.
However, many people who have diabetes do not have symptoms. If people think they might have
the disease, consulting a health-care professional is recommended.
Follow medical advice
A range of treatments exists to manage diabetes and control blood glucose, including through
eating healthy, being active, taking prescribed medication, controlling blood pressure, and avoiding
tobacco use. People with diabetes can live well if they follow a treatment plan developed together
with their health-care provider.
