You can gently remind them to monitor their blood sugar levels. If needed, assist them in using a glucometer and show them your support and love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_a_Record\"><\/span><strong>Keep a Record&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is advised to keep a daily record of sugar readings, medicines, exercise and meals. However, it can be difficult to do it manually daily. Apps like BeatO provide you with a comprehensive solution to overall diabetes care. It automatically stores sugar readings, sends reports to doctors, shows colour-coded graphs and sends daily reminders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"335\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/caregivers-checklist.jpg\" alt=\"Checklist For Diabetes Care\" class=\"wp-image-9535\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/caregivers-checklist.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/caregivers-checklist-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/caregivers-checklist-420x235.jpg 420w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_Their_Diet_and_Nutrition\"><\/span><strong>Check Their Diet and Nutrition<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can encourage them to eat frequent small meals. If they get bored of following the same diet, try to add some twists to their meals. You can check out some healthy yet delicious recipes that are diabetes-friendly. Moreover, it\u2019s crucial to ensure that they are eating low-carb food.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_If_They_Are_Active\"><\/span><strong>Check If They Are Active<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Diabetes is a lifestyle disease. Hence, physical exercise adoption and maintenance are crucial for blood glucose management and overall health in people with diabetes and prediabetes. Exercise increases cardiovascular benefits in diabetic individuals by lowering cardiovascular risk. Moreover, it also helps with weight management and glucose control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remind them to do some exercise. Take them out for a walk or do yoga and jog with them. Your support would motivate them to not give up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"335\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/caregiver.jpg\" alt=\"caregiver\" class=\"wp-image-9536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/caregiver.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/caregiver-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/caregiver-420x235.jpg 420w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_a_Tab_On_Their_Overall_Health\"><\/span><strong>Keep a Tab On Their Overall Health<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>People with diabetes often go through leg pains and periodic cramps. Take care of their feet and check for swelling, rash, or any related concerns. Suggest they wear diabetic socks. Similarly, oral care is equally important. Suggest they use a soft-bristle brush.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/diet-tips-for-diabetes-how-to-control-diabetes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"Read More: Diet Tips for Diabetes: How to Control Diabetes?\"><em>Diet Tips for Diabetes: How to Control Diabetes?<\/em><\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People with diabetes are also more likely to have infections from cuts and scrapes on their skin.
