5 PROACTIVE WAYS TO MANAGE DIABETICS AND LIVE A VIBRANT LIFE



 Diabetics has become a common disease among  the young and the old. Reasons for this being varied and mostly all of them depend on drugs to manage it.  We may not realise it, but simple choices about what you eat and where you spend your time can protect you from diabetes.

According to the California -based diabetes expert, too much of any one can be deadly. "poor choices when it comes to eating, a lack of exercise , and too much stress are three of the factors that are leading to  adiabetes epidemic amongst young people in the United States, in India, and pretty much everywhere," says, Dr. Zaidi, an American endocrinologist, author and public speaker.

Diabetes is  a chronic disease that affects millions of people around the world. Left untreated, diabetics have higher amounts of sugar in their blood because their bodies cannot properly produce or use insulin, a hormone that controls how cells react to sugar.

Patients may suffer from different types of diabetes, but they all can lead to major health problems if they are not treated properly.

Type 1 diabetes is a condition in which the body produces little or no insulin. It usually affects children and teenagers, but can occasionally strike a grown -up as well. It is an autoimmune disorder.

Type 2 diabetes, on the other hand, occurs when the body's cells become resistant to the action of insulin. "It typically used to affect grown-ups, but now it is affecting more and more teenagers," says the doctor.

Eating right - specifically, staying away from excessive amounts of sugar and carbohydrates - is a key factor in avoiding type 2 diabetes. "Especially in Indian culture, people eat both rice and bread at the same time, which is not good for people at risk for developing diabetes,'' says the doctor.

''Vegetables, lentils, beans, nuts and most fruits are great to eat, and a little bread is fine, but get rid of the rice, and don't drink soda- even if says ''Zero calories'. They still add artificial sweeteners and sugar substitutes.''

Even if you either type of diabetes, there are many proactive ways to manage the disease, reduce your risk of complications, and still live a vibrant life, says Dr. Zaidi. He recommends five steps, in order of importance: ''Nothing will work if you don't change your diet,'' affirms the doctor,  ''and you have to find time to exercise as well. Stress management is also crucial, as is taking the right vitamins and being on the right medications. People think that if you are on a drug, the medicine will take care of everything- not true! You should take all these five steps.''

Do follow doctor's advice and lead a life free of disease.
