Stress! Tension!
Anxiety! Apprehensions! Fears!
Part & Parcel of
modern life! (Obvious isn’t it?)
Can we count atleast
ten people who live oblivious of the obvious?
Difficult right....?
Have you ever wondered
how exactly do we live in peace, unmindful of the pressures around us?
Few follow the simple
policy – “Ignorance is bliss”
But not always
Then what happens....
It’s our brain.....
Yes! We have “Short –
term Memory” for “selected” items...
There has been loads of
research on how we remember certain things and how we forget most of the
things... It is because of repetition.......
A very simple example
lies in our exam preparation...
The answers which we
have read many times come in handy at the time of exams even if we hadn’t
revised it the previous night. This is because many neuronal circuits are
brought into play every time we read – The basis of Remembering!
There are certain
things which forget – how?
We tend to ignore a few
things and over period of time our Brain ignores these details!!
How is this relevant in
any way to us? To this blog..... Diabetes??
Yes it is pretty much relevant...
The common
misconception is that Diabetes stops with blood sugar being high, so it is
enough to keep checking Fasting and Post prandial sugars alone!
In fact Diabetes is a
Multisystem disorder (Not a Disease per se). It can literally affect any part
of our body.
It is not enough to
only check blood sugars, screen for other possible problems as well...
Because,
“Prevention is always
better than cure”
Here is a reminder or repetition
of what tests we need to do and when
Quaterly à
HbA1c
Half -yearly à
Lipid profile, Spot Microalbuminuria, Serum electrolytes (if you are on ACE/ARB
antihypertensives)
Once in a year à
Blood urea, Serum creatinine, Liver function test, Retinal examination, ECG, thyroid
function test, Foot Neuropathy testing
& Complete Hemogram
May require (in some
patients) – USG Abdomen, TMT, ECHO, C-peptide
Also discuss with your
doctor regarding pneumococcal vaccination...
Take time for your
health! Manage Diabetes better!
Give importance to
prevention!
Discuss with your
Doctor!
Live a sweet life!

ReplyDeleteBest way to explaining this issue and thank you sir for a very helpful content and also add something that People due to misconception about many things lead others to a wrong way. But that cannot be right you know? People often say take this food and your Diabetes will get cured, now these are absolutely not right. No food can cure you from diabetes, as it may only give some protection to you or helps to stabilize your metabolic systems. : Diabetes Magazine
ReplyDeleteWith little care, diet, medication, exercise and self control you can keep your diabetes under control. Best diabetologist can provide high quality medical care lowering risk of serious complications.
