DIABETES MELLITUS IS AN EXPANDING & COMPLEX GLOBAL HEALTH PROBLEM.

Here is my simple message on the occasion of World Diabetes Day, 2022. There are five major aspects of diabetes control that are important to all persons living with diabetes:

1) EXERCISE: for at least 150 minutes over a period of a week. The benefits are tremendous.
2) NUTRITION: follow the advice of your nutritionist. Anyone at home who cooks for you should attend the consultations with the nutritionist with you.
3) MEDICATION: there are different types of medications that control diabetes. Their mechanisms of action are different. It is not unusual for you to be taking different types of medications, both tablets and/or insulin. Taking your medications correctly is a major aspect of treating diabetes.
4) HbA1C: this is a very useful indicator of the average blood glucose readings going back four months. You should know what is your HbA1C value and work with your healthcare provider towards achieving a goal of a HbA1C of 7% or less. To achieve this goal requires a team effort with you at the center of the effort.
5) COMPLICATIONS: include eye, kidney and peripheral nerve damage as well as heart disease. These are avoidable or can be minimized. Avoiding complications is a major aspect of treating diabetes. The cost of treating diabetes complications is substantial across all levels of the health care system.
