November 14 is World Diabetes Day, a good time to remind foreign workers about ways to control blood sugar and avoid diabetes:

Regular health check-ups : Undertake routine health exams, discuss the results with a doctor and calculate the risk of developing chronic diseases over the next 10 years.

Regular monitoring : Foreign workers found to have an abnormal blood sugar level, should regularly measure their blood sugar to ensure fasting plasma blood glucose remains within the normal control range.

Reversing Metabolic Syndrome : If blood sugar is found to be abnormal and two or more of the following conditions are present (abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, high fasting triglycerides, or low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) it indicates metabolic syndrome. Visit a clinic to discuss the diagnosis with a medical professional to better control the disease and delay its onset.

Healthy diet : Maintain a balanced diet that is low in oil, low in salt, low in sugar and high in fiber.

Regular exercise : Target 30 minutes per session and 150 minutes of physical activity per week. This can include walking, jogging, swimming, aerobics etc.
