Tsunami of Diabetes

Tsunami of diabetes is going to hit world in near future.

Global Scenario
Diabetes is an "iceberg of disease . Currently the number of cases of diabetes worldwide is estimated to be around 150 million.This is predicted to double by 2025(prevalence rate of 5.4 percent). It is estimated that 20 percent Of total diabetes population resides in South-East region and is likely triple by 2025 in this region increasing from present estimates of about 30 million to 80 million.
Indian Scenario
The population of India has an increased susceptibility to diabetes. In rural population prevalence is 2.4 percent and in urban it is around 7.5 percent. Once complication of diabetes set in, they are difficult to treat and are extremely costly. If diabetic person wants to protect himself from such crippling complications, then strict control over blood level is a must. In addtion follwing tests are recommended to know whether complicationof disease have set in oe not.

  • Glycosylated hemoglobin

  • It gives average blood sugar level in previous three month. With this test one can know wheteer diabetes or not.
  • Microalbumin in urine

  • It reveals whether kidneys are affected or not. If proper precautions are taken at this stage damages to kidneys can be prevented.
  • Blood cholesterol and stress test

  • Gives an idea about the affection of the heart and blood vessels. Timely intervention helps to prevent or delay damages to these organs.
  • Examination of the eyes

  • Gives an idea about the affection of vision. Proper treatment in early stages prevents loss of vision. I recommended that visit and consult physician and keep blood cholesterol, sugar and BP under control. This will help in preventing crippling of diabetes. Let up remain alert about dangerous of diabetes and its complication and rare ourselves from sweeping away by Tsunami of diabetes in near future.

    With this suggestion I like to suggest Go for Pranayam and Yoga aasan. Yoga are help many diabetic people in India. Swami Ramdev are aware and help people to cure Diabetes. Yoga are so much helpful to cure diabetes and keep diabetes in control. Yoga help to keep sugar in proper level.
