Always consult your healthcare professional before changing your diet, exercise, or management of your type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arvind, 64, a retired manufacturing professional who lives with his wife and family in Leicester explains how he\u2019s found a daily routine that helps keep his diabetes under control.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read my diary entry to hear about the small lifestyle changes in my daily routine that help keep my type 2 diabetes under control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes over 10 years ago, I had no idea where to start with the lifestyle changes my doctor told me to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, I\u2019ve found a routine that I not only enjoy, but also helps keep my diabetes under control. Let me talk you through a day in my shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-white-color has-vivid-purple-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-block-heading\">Arvind\u2019s Diabetes Diary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Morning<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asianexpress.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/arvind_and_oscar_ls_21-1024x712.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43814\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today started like most days, with a warm pint of turmeric water and an early-morning dog walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We use turmeric a lot in our cooking, and after hearing about its supposed health benefits, I love adding it to hot water in the morning instead of drinking tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before heading out with my dog Oscar, I weighed myself and checked my blood sugar, which I try to do once a week to keep myself on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walking Oscar around the village is my favourite way to keep moving, so I walk him for an hour and a half at least four days a week. I love stopping for chats with my neighbours and discovering new walking routes, so that\u2019s a huge motivator for me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My health initially took a turn for the worse when I changed jobs and went from being on my feet all day at work to sitting at a desk. Now I\u2019m retired, making the effort to stay active is really important to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I got back from my walk, I had a light breakfast of protein yoghurt and fruit. I have a real sweet tooth, and before I changed my routine I used to eat a bowl of sugary cereal and full-fat milk to satisfy my morning cravings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During breakfast, I planned my day \u2013 now I\u2019m retired, I like to stay busy, and planning makes me feel more in control of my diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today\u2019s to-do list included housework, gardening and a game of badminton before my grandchildren got home from school. I\u2019ve started to rethink what I would normally consider as exercise \u2013 if I\u2019m moving my body then it counts, and daily chores are a great way to keep fit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Afternoon<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asianexpress.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shuttlecock_badminton_21-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43798\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After weeding the garden, I took a break for lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having type 2 diabetes has made me step out of my comfort zone and spend more time in the kitchen, finding ways to make my diet healthier \u2013 some more successful than others! We try not to have South Asian food for every meal as I now know it\u2019s often heavy in carbohydrates like rice and potatoes, which I\u2019m trying to cut down on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today I made an omelette and salad, washed down with another pint of water. I drink at least four pints of water a day \u2013 I had to find something to replace my favourite fizzy drink when I realised how sugary it was!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, whenever I\u2019m at the supermarket, I always read the food labels so I know the sugar content and can choose healthier options. It was hard to remember to do this at the start, but now I\u2019ve gotten into the habit it\u2019s become second nature!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I do a few different types of exercise each week to keep things interesting, including badminton, walking cricket and Zoom classes online. Today was Wednesday, which was badminton day. I love team sports, and knowing I\u2019ll see my friends motivates me to keep working towards my goals even on those days when I\u2019m not feeling quite as energetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Evening<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asianexpress.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/vegetable_curry_chickpea_spinach_brown_rice_21-1024x685.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43685\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a day on my feet, I had dinner at 5pm. We always eat as a family, and this evening we had a curry with a small portion of brown rice. My wife is a brilliant cook, and she helps keep my diabetes in check by adapting our favourite traditional recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, we swapped the meat in our curry for lots of vegetables, including lentils, chickpeas, and spinach, which we cooked with cooking oil spray instead of vegetable oil. We baked the samosas rather than fried them, but recently I discovered an air fryer so might start using this more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve been limiting how much salt I eat since I was diagnosed, so instead we add extra spices, onion, and garlic to make the dish just as tasty. After dinner, I would previously be tempted by unhealthy snacks like ghatia and chevdo. But now I no longer eat after 6pm, and so I\u2019ve cut these snacks out and I\u2019ve found it\u2019s done wonders for my sleep!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since I\u2019ve made changes to help me manage my diabetes, I\u2019m full of energy and my mood has really improved \u2013 which makes it easier to motivate myself to lead a more active lifestyle. I feel great that I\u2019m looking after myself and can focus on supporting my grandchildren as they grow up, hopefully instilling healthy habits in them too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\">Inspired by Arvind\u2019s story?
