Diabetes is not a Handicap

Diabetes has grown into and epidemy, according to the results of a study conducted by ICMR recently approx 65 million people may be suffering from Diabetes and another 200 million may be in the prediabetic stage which effectively means that 1/3rd of them may develop Diabetes in next 3 years.
According to Diabetologists in Delhi many Diabetes patients perceive their illness as a heavy burden both on the individual and the family, some patients and their family members sometimes consider imposing restrictions on the working or studies – which may not be true or required at all.

Diabetes Specialistin Delhi says Persons with Diabetes can perform very well in all spheres of life, just as any other healthy person without Diabetes. Diabetes disease by itself is not a handicap and does not require any restrictions to be imposed on individuals. Diabetics should take all necessary steps to keep their Blood Sugar, Cholesterol and Blood Pressure levels under control. This can be done by Lifestyle management and some patients may require medications or Insulin injections as well. Lifestyle management is the modification of all daily activities of persons in such a way as to help achieve the primary goals of Diabetes. Diabetes doctors consider Diet and physical activity to be the two main factors which are important for Diabetic patients.
Dr Rajesh Kesari Diabetologist inDelhi is personally of the opinion that Diabetes can infact be a boon on disguise. Persons who are getting proper treatment and counseling understand the importance of lifestyle management and are hence bound to lead a more disciplined lifestyle, they get up early in the morning, go out for walks regularly- this reflects in their performance in other spheres of their life as well.
So its better to control Diabetes and lead a Happy and Active life- yes Diabetes can be controlled and should ALWAYS BE CONTROLLED
