DIABETES –ASSUMING EPIDEMIC PROPORTIONS GLOBALLY

Fourteenth November, every year is celebrated as ‘Worlds Diabetes Day ‘.on the birth anniversary of Dr.Frederick Banting who discovered Insulin in 1921 .The discovery of insulin is one of the major events of 20th century which is very important for human beings on the planet mother earth.

Fourteenth November also happens to be the birth anniversary of PT.Jawahar Lal Nehru, the first prime minister of free India, a great freedom fighter and a pioneer of non -violence. It is also celebrated as ‘children’s day ‘India, started by Pt.Jawahar Lal Nehru himself, he was fondly called chacha Nehru (Uncle Nehru)

Diabetes has become a major health care challenge in India especially. It is a tyranny that India being the yoga capital of the world has also become the Diabetes capital of the world .There are at present 32.3 million Diabetic patients in India and the number may increase more than 80 million by 2030.This has assumed epidemic proportions.

The situation world over is no less. Diabetes can be characterized as persistent high glucose levels in the blood type2 Diabetes mellitus (T 2 DM ) contributes 90-92% Diabetic population who do not require insulin to survive .They require greater control of blood glucose and more disciplines and qualitative life.

Largely the symptoms are excessive urination, generalized weakness, fatigue, delay in healing wounds, increased thirst, weight loss, besides increase in appetite. Diabetes 2 patients get detected by chance and show complications involving the eyes, absent food pulse abnormal E.C.G as researched by (UKPDS) United Kingdom Prospectic Diabetes Study.

Diabetic disorders are partly inherited and partly affected by the environment. T 1 Diabetic mellitus (T1DM) is a very slow immuno – inflammatory destruction of B-cells which secrete insulin in the pancreas. In this case the body’s immune system misreads its own B-cells and attacks them thinking they are aliens, 90-90% B-cells are destroyed before the T1DM manifests .Other factors contributing are viruses, environmental toxics cows milk and genetic disorders.

The T 2 Diabetes mellitus is resistance to insulin action at muscles liver and fat tissues that are important parts of insulin, medicated glucose uptake and metabolism .Insulin resistance is further compounded by disorders in insulin secretion and blood glucose keeps rising.

Insulin resistance can be attributed to obesity specially abdominal or upper body, sedentary life style, smoking stress, harmful lipids and genetic disorders. Those people are more at risk who have a family history are over weight and mothers with new borns weighing more than nine pounds high B.P and sedentary modern lifestyle.

People in India are not usually obese but mostly middle aged ones show abdominal obesity .Lesser physical exercises coca – colaisation stress and regular consumption of fast food further to add to the problems.

Obesity is known to be the mother of diabetes. Dr.Elliot Joslin father of Diabetes had understood the very importance of fat in Diabetes during the good old days. (T1DM) type -1 Diabetes mellitus in children accounts for less then 5 % of all Diabetics and T 2 DM usually in adults is the most common type.

Diabetes as mentions above in major health hazard world wide and India International Association Of The Study Of Obesity ( IASO) , International Obesity Task Force and International Diabetes Federation, have concluded jointly and endorsed the fact that obesity and Diabetes hold the economic welfare health and social well being of every country for ransom in the entire world today. Obesity is excessive body fat enough to harm the body’s health .Obesity and Diabetes are very closely related .men and women both in all age groups are at a greater risk if they are overweight.

The epidemic of obesity is expected to increase the number of Diabetes is higher than the projected 80 millions by 2030.

Obesity almost affects half the males and 1/3 of females in an urban population. Obesity also contributes to the increased risks of a number of other diseases in adults like high blood pressure, heart disease , gall bladder  disease , joints problem , paralytic attacks , respiratory problems , sleep apnea ,uterus  and breast cancers . However Diabetes is the serious most consequence of obesity.

Obesity is the major cause to the development of insulin resistance which leads to Diabetes, cardio vascular disease which accounts for 75% Diabetic mortally rate.

Obesity evidently being the major reason for Diabetes is given lesser importance in the management of Diabetes. The deposit of fat around the stomach is a fact which increases the risk of Diabetes and heart diseases. It is very important to treat obesity even if the body weight is lower.

Obesity can be modified and 60 % of Diabetes, cases could be eliminated if weight gain can be managed and prevented .Many international studies have indicated that weight loss should be the finest prescription for the  Diabetes prevention and it can significantly reduce the risks and the development of Diabetes.

The Diabetes management also involves life style changes physical activity, diet control and drugs advised by doctors. Weight loss must be the most important part of diabetes management .The new anti diabetic drug regime also induces weight loss f or improving diabetes. However drugs are not a substitute to life style changes .Life style changes along with dietary changes are very important for any treatment regiven for managing Diabetes and Obesity.

Get out of the social myths about Diabetes because these myths like it is the result of past karmas is a barrier between the good health and the Diabetics. Be away from the quacks and uncertain herbal mixtures and find a qualified specialist .Trust the doctor’s advice which will help you overcome the diabetes. Take care by periodic checks of blood glucose, cholesterol, and bp and adopt a healthier lifestyle.
