Diet, exercise, meds: To prevent hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) people with diabetes needs to eat according to their diet plan (carbs, protein, and fat), get regular exercise (at least 30 minutes a day) and, if prescribed, take their medication as directed by their doctor. If you are unsure about any of these actions, you should talk to your doctor and a diabetes educator or registered dietitian.
