🩺 Managing Diabetes & Blood Pressure — As a Family, Not Just a Patient
Chronic illnesses like diabetes and hypertension aren’t just personal health issues — they affect entire families, routines, and lifestyles.
Here’s what every household should know:
1️⃣ Routine Monitoring is Non-Negotiable 📍 Keep a home BP machine & glucometer. Track regularly, not just when symptoms appear.
2️⃣ Medications Work Best With Lifestyle Changes 💊 Medicines alone are not enough. Regular walks, reduced salt/sugar intake, and portion control are just as important.
3️⃣ Family Meals = Family Effort 🍽 Cook with less oil, salt, and processed foods — what’s healthy for one, helps everyone.
4️⃣ Watch for Silent Signs 🧠 Headaches, fatigue, blurred vision, irritability — often ignored, but could signal uncontrolled BP or sugar.
5️⃣ Mental Health Matters 📉 Chronic diseases can lead to anxiety or frustration. A supportive family can change everything.
6️⃣ Check Kidneys, Eyes & Heart 🧪 Annual tests like creatinine, urine protein, ECG, and fundus exams are crucial to catch early damage.
✨ Chronic care isn’t just about treatment — it’s about teamwork. Support each other. Learn together. Stay one step ahead.
