Tips to control Diabetes

Diabetes occurs when the sugar level in the blood becomes too high. Diabetes is a disease that brings with it many other diseases. Common symptoms of diabetes include frequent urination, increased thirst, and increased appetite. Blood sugar and blood glucose are the main sources of energy for the body, but due to increased levels of it, you become a victim of diabetes. Diabetes can be controlled by making some changes in your lifestyle.

If you are a victim of diabetes then you must control it before it gets worse. Here we are telling you tips to control diabetes.

There are two types of diabetes. Type 1 and Type 2, in which Type 1 diabetes is the one that we have genetically. If a person has diabetes due to hereditary reasons then it is called Type 1 diabetes. Whereas in some people, due to wrong lifestyle and eating habits, this disease goes home. This condition is called Type 2 diabetes.

Type 1 Diabetes

It is an autoimmune syndrome, which means your body is attacking itself. The insulin-producing cell in the pancreas is damaged in this situation. Type 1 diabetes affects up to 10 percent of individuals with diabetes. It’s most commonly found in children and young adults. However, there is no specific age or time. It used to be called juvenile diabetes. Individuals with Type 1 diabetes must take insulin on a daily basis. It’s also known as insulin-dependent diabetes because of this.

Type 2 Diabetes

It occurs when your body either does not produce enough insulin or when your cells do not react to insulin properly. Diabetes mellitus is the most common form of the disease. Type 2 diabetes affects up to 95 percent of diabetics. It mainly affects persons in their 30s or 40s. Type 2 diabetes is also known as adult-onset diabetes or insulin-resistant diabetes.

Prediabetes

It is the stage before Type 2 diabetes develops. Your blood glucose levels are higher than usual, but not high enough for Type 2 diabetes to be diagnosed.

Gestational Diabetes

It is also a type of diabetes that develops in certain women during pregnancy. Gestational diabetes normally disappears following the birth of a child. If you have gestational diabetes, though, you’re more likely to acquire Type 2 diabetes later in life.

The number of people who have recovered from the disease has gone up to 4,44,81,341, an increase of 648 since Sunday morning. In Kerala a 70 year-old male with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and 81year-old male with T2DM and HTN, and in Karnataka, a 48 year old male with CA and TB died, while one person in Tripura succumbed to COVID.

The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) reported that 11,838 doses of the vaccine had been administered in the country till January 7. The data is a compilation of the Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme (National Centre for Disease Control), media bulletins and websites of various states at 8am on January 4.

As the winter season sets in, health experts are highlighting a sudden surge in viral infections, influenza, and COVID-19 cases. Dr Nikhil Modi, a senior pulmonologist at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, pointed out that the decrease in temperature leads to increase in moisture in the air, low wind speed and also causes an increase in pollution levels. This contributes highly to various infections.

Due to the decrease in temperature the fog combines with the pollution in the air which further leads to the formation of smog. This condition of the atmosphere can cause different types of infections and difficulty in breathing. Both the state and the central government are keeping a close watch on the new Omicron Subvariant JN.1. J.N.1 is a Variant of Interest (VOI) which is under intense scientific scrutiny.
