Diabetes Awareness

thumbnail

Diabetes is a modern disease. Like all other countries, Nepal has a mixed society of rural and urban populations. However, there are widening disparities in terms of dietary intake. While there has been rapid development in the urban population, progress in rural areas has remained stagnant. One can find diabetes patients in rural as well as urban areas, but urban people are more prone to the disease. Few people seem to understand that diabetes can lead to other complications, including loss of vision, kidney failure and heart ailments. The number of diabetes cases is rising not only in Nepal but also throughout the world.

 

So, if we start early treatment and take precautionary measures, we can control diabetes. Diabetes is not a curse if one treats it carefully and follows the advice of medical practitioners and other treatments. Just because one is fit and fine and does not have any problem related to the kidneys, heart, eyes and brain does not mean one is free from problems. A person has to get a clean bill of health from a doctor at least once a year. A diabetes patient has to consult from different physicians to understand the problem. We have to develop an ideal situation. There are very simple and affordable medicines available to prevent diabetes. The sooner a person completes a health check-up, the better. One of the easy methods of checking the diabetes regularly is by self check by Blood Glucose Meter which is very easy, simple and one can get aware of his/her sugar level anytime, hence making the possible medical treatment early.
