management of blood sugar levels to prevent diabetes complications
Glycemic control, also known as blood sugar control, refers to the management of blood glucose levels within a target range to prevent complications associated with diabetes. This involves monitoring blood sugar levels regularly, adhering to a balanced diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and possibly using medications or insulin therapy as prescribed by healthcare professionals.
