Presently 50.8 million indians suffer from diabetes and by 2030 more than 166 million diabetics in india will belong to 60-79 yrs age group.
So Indian Government need to have people-friendly health policies, better Health Insurance schemes & optimum Hospitalisation facilities ready, to cater to such a vast senior citizen diabetic population.
Diabetes Free World (DFW) is a mission to put brakes on diabetes incidence, by early detection at Pre-diabetes stage and keeping them diabetes free for years by dietary-care and increased physical activity. We organise free treatment camps to minimise the Incidence of Diabetes related complications to help diabetics in leading a quality life.
"Minimum Medicines and Maximum Lifestyle" is our rule in diabetes. So the patient on medicines should, reduce the dose of medicines, while continuing with the advised dietary care.
Once controlled, some diabetics start consuming 'high carbohydrate diet' due to Phobia of Low Sugar or hypoglycemia. It leads to hyperglycemia/high blood glucose or treatment-failure.
As a seasonal precautions on footwalk, Cardiac patients should prefer walking during Sun-shine and avoid, Walking, during cold foggy early morning hours, he said.
