Yes, eating yogurt can reduce the risk of diabetes. A recent research from Harvard School, Boston suggested that eating yogurt daily reduces the risk of developing diabetes. Yogurt is a pro-biotic, i.e., it has helpful and healthy bacteria, which are good for our intestines and help in digestion. These bacteria also help in the reduction of injury to the intestines (caused by harmful bacteria and faulty diet) and they help in the production of vital hormones which are required for the better digestion of food. Some of these hormones, even help in controlling appetite and help in maintaining body weight. Thus, when yogurt is taken, it helps in maintaining a healthy body weight as well as helps in digestion, in turn preventing diabetes. Apart from that, yogurt is high on calcium and can help fulfill the dietary need of calcium too. It is important to know the amount of yogurt that needs to be taken. Roughly 1–2 serving of roughly 75–100 grams in a day is sufficient to be beneficial (higher amounts have not been shown to be harmful).

A very common misconception is that eating sugar or sweets causes diabetes. This is not entirely true. Type 1 Diabetes occurs when the body’s immune system attacks the insulin producing cells in the pancreas and destroys them. It occurs mostly at a very young age. Type 2 Diabetes is more common and usually occurs in adulthood. In Type 2 Diabetes, the body isn’t able to use insulin in the right way. This is called insulin resistance. As type 2 diabetes gets worse, the pancreas may make less and less insulin leading to insulin deficiency. Eating sugar or sweets has nothing to do with developing Type 1 Diabetes. Intake of sugary drinks should be limited to help prevent Type 2 diabetes. One of the biggest risk factors for Type 2 Diabetes is being overweight, and a diet high in calories from any source contributes to weight gain. It is the high calorie content and not the sugar that leads to insulin resistance and diabetes. When taking sweets, remember that all sweets are not alike. Some have sugar alone and hence contain lesser calories and are safe to eat. Sweets containing high khoya content, ghee or oil are high in calories and hence more fattening. These sweets are more likely to result into insulin resistance in long term leading to diabetes. Sweets are bad because of calories contained in them. Serving sizes make a huge difference. When you include sweets in your meal, have one chapatti instead of two or have a smaller serving of rice.

The exact cause of Diabetic neuropathy is not clear. There are many factors that are known to contribute towards this condition, the most important being high blood sugar levels. Causes include: 1. Reduced blood flow: Diabetes causes reduced blood vessel relaxation leading to impaired flow to nerves 2. Damage to nerve proteins: Depletion of myelin proteins which are important for nerve conduction. Glycosylation of structural nerve proteins leading to decreased nerve conduction 3. Oxidative stress: Increased production of oxygen free radicals producing oxidative stress and damage 4. Accumulation of sorbitol and fructose in nerves. Risk factors include: 1. Poor blood sugar control 2. Alcohol intake 3. High blood pressure 4. Smoking 5. High cholesterol levels 6. Obesity 7. Older age 8. Family history 9. Duration of diabetes Depending on the extent of damage and the function that is impaired due to nerve damage, it is sometimes possible to reverse or slow down the damage by medications and lifestyle changes.
