Don't take medicine

They should not make such a mistake at all. If you do this then it may be difficult to keep the blood sugar level under control and your problems may increase further.
Not checking sugar properly
Many people find it difficult to check blood sugar at home and that is why they face a lot of trouble in knowing their sugar level. Many people do not know the correct use of blood sugar level-checking machines or glucometers, and this becomes the reason for their problem. That's why, whenever you use a glucometer, wash your hands thoroughly with soapy water. After that put the blood sample on the test strip and wait for a while to get the correct reading.
Avoiding exercise
When diabetic patients are asked to exercise, they often avoid saying that they do household chores or walk a lot. But let us tell you that these activities do not benefit your body to the extent that exercise does. Let us tell you that when it comes to exercise, it means flexibility, strength, and stamina.

Take too much stress
The most dangerous thing for health is to take stress. It also affects your hormones, mental and physical health. Health experts advise diabetic patients to stay away from stress. According to studies, stress increases blood sugar and also spoils the health of the heart.
Skipping meals
As such, skipping miles is not considered good for anyone. But if you have diabetes then this condition can be even more fatal. When you don't eat regularly, your blood sugar can drop too low. Therefore, it is better to have small meals several times a day instead of having big meals once or twice a day.
Sleep deprivation
