Indians more prone to diabetes: Why us?
Compared to western countries, Indians are more prone to diabetes because of:
- Ethnic differences as Asians, Indians in particular, have a greater amount of fat and less muscle mass than Caucasians, for the same weight and BMI. This predisposes them to high blood sugar levels
- Social stress
- Increase in junk food culture and physical inactivity
- Higher consumption of high-carb cuisines
Nearly 76.6% of people with diabetes in India live with uncontrolled diabetes, as per a nationwide study, which increases your risk of developing serious complications. Taking control of your sugar levels is important for keeping complications at bay.
Your diabetes medicines need fine-tuning from time to time. Advance care plan empowers your doctor to understand and cover the gaps in a smarter way.
Sudden changes pose more risk than constant high sugar values. Round the clock monitoring may help you find the answer.
With this plan, you can restrict further worsening of your symptoms and long-term diabetes complications by understanding your body’s unique response to stress, food choices, and medicines.
Do you know around 70% of people with prediabetes eventually develop diabetes? It is important to get a screening done early and get the right advice as per your test results. Remember, borderline diabetes is completely reversible with timely management.
The plan gives you a smart sensor that doesn’t require finger-pricking. You can get sugar readings for next 14 days at an interval of every 15 minutes with one-time application.
If you are a parent of a child with diabetes, we encourage you to try out our plan. The smart device is completely safe to be used in children above 4 years of age.
The genetic risk associated with diabetes is very complex. If the father has diabetes (type 2), the risk factor is about 30%, slightly higher if it is the mother. If both parents have diabetes, the risk factor jumps to about 70%.
While keeping physically active helps your body utilize extra sugar in the blood, a sedentary lifestyle is considered a strong risk factor for developing diabetes.
Relative to overweight people, each kg of weight gained annually over 10 years increases the risk of developing diabetes in the next 10 years by 49%.
People with thyroid conditions (hypothyroidism) and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) can disrupt the fine balance of glucose metabolism, which can lead to diabetes.
As you age, risk of diabetes increases even in absence of other risk factors. It’s both important and useful for healthy people to understand how their body is processing sugar.
