Understanding Diabetes

Diabetes refers to a condition where the body does not make enough insulin or does not know how to use it properly (To control blood sugar levels). It requires treatment and management on an ongoing basis to avoid complications and overall health.

Who is at risk?

Diabetes doesn’t happen on its own. It develops silently over time. You may be at higher risk if you have a family history of diabetes, are overweight, spend most of your time sitting or have an unhealthy diet. And as per research and studies, you’re also at higher risk if you are over 40, have a history of gestational diabetes, and have high blood pressure or difficulties with cholesterol. Even things such as stress, poor sleep, medical conditions, and lifestyle habits can increase your risk. Regular checkups and lifestyle changes can make a big difference.

Prevention of Diabetes

Maintaining a healthy weight through a well-rounded diet high in fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein.
Exercise regularly, at least 30 minutes of physical activity each day is recommended.
Attend routine health check-ups to monitor blood sugar levels especially if you’ve got a family history of diabetes.
