In the current world, anybody can be a potential diabetic. Be it a school going kid or an active adult or an elderly homemaker. Gone are the days when diabetes was predominantly seen in the older population. Today, even children below 10 years of age are being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Largely occurring due to unhealthy lifestyles, Type 2 DM is one of fastest growing disease. Though Genetics, Obesity and Stress are the primary factors, the secondary factors can be epigenetic and due to unhealthy intake of food, lack of exercise, etc. The main symptoms are increased urination, increased thirst, lack of energy, diminishing appetite and unexplained weight loss or weight gain. If you are experiencing any of these, it is highly advisable to get your blood sugar checked (both FBS and PPBS). In the general scenario, most doctors advise anyone over the age of 45 to keep monitoring their blood sugars at regular periods (once in 2 months or so). Remember, Type 2 DM is largely a lifestyle disease and can be easily managed. There is no need to panic. As a matter of fact, panic will only aggravate your symptoms to a higher degree. It is important to maintain the ideal weight as per your height and stay away from alcohol, tobacco, refined products and junk food. Especially children who are obese should be taken for a check up once in a while to monitor their blood sugar levels. Those already diagnosed as Diabetics should taken even more care to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle to avoid disease progression.
