IMPORTANCE OF MONITORING BLOOD SUGAR LEVEL: POST COVID

The current paper studies the growing trend and the worldwide concern about Diabetes and its types along with the
problems and complications associated with it such that the person who is diagnosed with diabetes run the risk for
low muscular strength along with a faster decline in the muscle strength. Through studies, it has been observed that in recent years, the type 2 Diabetes Mellitus prevalence has significantly increased in low- and middle-income countries compared to higher-income countries and post COVID-19 it has been notoriously leaving diabetes as an aftermath.
Different associations/organisations and research studies have prescribed varied indicators of self-care behaviours. Let’s take for example, The American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE) has identified seven self-care
behaviours: healthy eating, being active, monitoring, taking medication, problem-solving, healthy coping, and reducing risks. Based on various studies, this paper will mainly probe on how checking your blood sugar levels
requires high attention and adequate self-care which can prevent or better manage the disease by making positive amendments and changes in lifestyle by including physical activities in daily regime for its prevention or effective management.
General public needs to be educated about some self-care behaviours which is essential to control adequate metabolism and to prevent long-term complications. Such awareness can contribute to bringing down the cases of diabetes or at least help to manage it. Globally collective research in the area of prevention, control, and management of diabetes and better health care services are the need of the hour.
