The role of the family in controlling diabetes
Nowadays, almost everyone knows that diabetes has emerged as an epidemic! However, it is difficult to tell who has diabetes and who does not - before the test. It can be seen that even a small child has diabetes, while an old man may not have diabetes.
It all depends on following the correct rules of life.
Having received various benefits of mechanical life, we are not willing to give
time to follow the rules of a healthy life. Children prefer playing on mobile
or tablet at home instead of playing in the field. And the elderly get into any
vehicle as soon as they step on the road. That is why diabetes has taken root
in every house.
On the other hand, we cannot even understand how
diabetes is destroying us from the inside. Even though we have various physical
problems, we delay finding the right way to solve it.
Therefore, one should know the signs of this silent killer and be aware. I myself also delayed a lot because I did not know the signs.
But if a child or a pregnant woman falls victim to this mistake, then think of the danger! This matter came to my mind after I was diagnosed with the disease, so I did all the research.
Experts say - fatigue, exhaustion, weight loss,
increased thirst and hunger, frequent urination are symptoms of diabetes. Apart
from this, there may be symptoms such as repeated infections, boils, itching in
the vagina, burning in the hands and feet, decreased sexual ability, etc. Or
there may be no symptoms.
If there are symptoms, check your blood sugar. And
even if there are no symptoms, everyone should get this test done at least once
a year after the age of 40.

expert advice on this -
# Those who have a history of diabetes in their family
are at particular risk. Therefore, the family's lifestyle needs to be changed.
Healthy eating habits and regular exercise should be
practiced from a young age. High-calorie foods should be avoided. Care should
be taken to prevent weight gain. Parents have a major role in preventing
obesity and diabetes in children and adolescents.
The family can play a big role in diagnosing the
disease at the right time. Parents should arrange for regular checkups or
routine screening of all family members.
# Diabetes testing should be considered mandatory
within 24-28 weeks of pregnancy. If the female member of the family is
pregnant, the husband and other members should take note of the matter.
If gestational diabetes is detected, one should not
panic. Pregnant women should be helped to follow a diet routine, take insulin
and check their own blood sugar.
One should know and be aware of the complications that
can occur during pregnancy and delivery. Regular checkups and a balanced diet
should be continued even after delivery.
# Moreover, the elderly members of the family are
usually diabetics. Care should be taken to ensure that the elderly do not have
a sudden drop in blood sugar. Foot care, heart or kidney care for diabetic
patients are important.
As a responsible member of the family, every adult and
healthy person should play a role in preventing and treating the risk, control
and complications of diabetes.
Hormone
and diabetes experts say -
The best exercise for diabetic patients is 150 minutes
of brisk walking a week. While walking, it is better to warm up first and cool
down at the end.
Apart from this, you can do any exercise including
jogging, swimming, cycling as per the doctor's advice. Keeping your body
healthy and active, taking care of yourself with this exercise is much better
than taking medicine. If necessary, you have to take medicine.
The elders of the family should show everyone in the
family the way - to lead a healthy life.
