World Health Day- Beat Diabetes (Prevention)

In the last two days we have covered the basics of Diabetes like what is diabetes, what causes it and how to identify the signs. We will today try to cover on ways to prevent diabetes.

Many of us would believe that DM is hereditary and almost sure to happen should parents suffer from it. We have discussed that the possibility of the child to have diabetes purely for hereditary reasons is merely 10%. Understanding why genes express themselves will help avoid the disease in the long run. Here are the factors that make the genes express themselves and how these factors may be managed:

1.Environment: Pesticides and chemical pollutants present in food are exceedingly seen as reason that trigger DM1 and 2. Long term exposure accumulates these chemicals in cells all over the body and finally changes the ways genes are expressed. Choosing organic food is a good way to avoid direct exposure to the pollutants. Consumers opting for this diet should check how source of water used in irrigation is purified to rule out presence of pollutants. Non-vegetarians opting for an organic diet should check with suppliers if animals are fed with organic diet.

2. Diet: High Carb and fat diet is repeatedly proven to cause Diabetes specially DM 2. In fact DM 2 can totally be controlled by reducing weight and controlling intake of carbs and fat. People already affected by the disease should immediate help from dietitian to control intake of calories even after target weight has been achieved. If parents or siblings have DM and you still don’t have it make sure you follow diet control and check on the source of food as mentioned in point 1

3. Exercising: Exercising helps in ways you may not imagine. When you exercise body goes into an alert and finds ways to absorb glucose from blood even if insulin is not enough. Also exercising improves sensitivity of cells to insulin so the amount of insulin required to transport glucose into cell goes down

4. Regular Check-up: It is always good to know in advance. Type 2 diabetes specially expresses slowly so make sure you check your levels regularly. How often you need to do this is something you can discuss with your physician who will assess your other conditions before offering a schedule. Regular check-ups also make sure that there are no other disease affecting you that can cause diabetes to express itself.
