- Keep the child involved - Ensure that the child is engaged in the diabetes management routine right from the beginning

- Make healthy food choices - To keep the blood glucose and weight in a healthy range, focus on when to eat
- Follow the proper eating order - All individuals, especially diabetics should try to start their meal with protein
- Stay hydrated - We all need to stay hydrated by drinking at least eight glasses of water per day
- Avoid processed foods - As these are loaded with salt and unhealthy oil, it is wise to stay away from processed foods
- Eat sweets wisely - One should have sweets with or after a meal, rather than eating separately as it can cause your blood sugar level to spike when had separately
- Cut down on soft drinks, soda and juices - If you miss your carbonation kick, try sparkling water with a twist of lemon or a splash of fruit or fruit juice
- Perform regular physical activity - Indulge in 30-60 minutes of exercise every day at a stretch or you can break it up into 20 minutes, three times a day
- The quality of food matters (and not quantity) - Eat right servings of food and be active
- Take medicines on time - Whether you are on pills or insulin, it is important to take your medications on time and as instructed by your doctor
