Endang also reminded that people with diabetes must continue to carry out physical activities and exercise that can be adjusted to the conditions of each individual. Then also pay attention to the conditions of complications that may have occurred.

"Especially for people with diabetes, we often recommend routinely checking the legs because this leg may be part that we often ignore because it is at the ends of the body. Check the legs, every day, maybe you have to look at the legs, whether there are skin dry, is there any injuries, are there any other complaints that you feel," said Endang.
