World Diabetes Day 2018
“ Millions of people around the world live with diabetes or know someone living with diabetes. Some find out when they are still prediabetic while others remain ignorant over years. Early detection of prediabetes can slow or stop progress towards type 2 diabetes. Diabetes isn’t yet a curable disease. However, people with diabetes can live long, healthy, and happy lives. Being mindful about lifestyle and aware about diabetes is the key. ”

Diabetes is a complex disease. It is time we identify what’s fact and what’s just a fiction!
“Diabetes is not contagious.
But their smile is…”
Though we are not clearly aware of what exactly causes diabetes. We are sure that it is not contagious.
There seems to be a genetic link. Lifestyle factors play a major part too.
“Sugar-free &
Carb-conscious living”
People with diabetes can eat sugar in certain situations only. In fact, sugar can be lifesaving in many incidents of hypoglycemia.
However, uncontrolled sugar intake can cause serious implications in patients and hence is best avoided or limited for better control of diabetes.
“Pricks are not easy, yet essential…
Especially for kids.”
Living with diabetes involves regular glucose monitoring and insulin injections. People with type 1 diabetes and some with type 2 diabetes need daily injections of insulin. Recent innovations such as insulin pumps are replacing daily insulin injections.
