 IMPORTANT TIPS FOR DIABETICS & PREVENT DIABETIC COMPLICATIONS

Dr. Sharad Kasarle

Diabetes is the silent killer as it affects one by one our important functioning of healthy organs & leading to their damage. The American College of Physicians (ACP) has published new care guidelines suggesting higher blood sugar targets for people with type 2 diabetes.

Published March 6 in the Annals of Internal Medicine, these new guidelines call for A1C targets of 7-8% for most T2 PWDs, noting that lower A1C goals of 6.5% to 7% as recommended by the big diabetes orgs are too strict. The American Diabetes Association (ADA), American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE), American Association of Clinical Endos (AACE) and Endocrine Society have issued a joint statement in opposition. Their main concern: This could prevent many T2Ds from receiving the full benefits of long-term glucose control.

With my research experience of 30 years, I feel Diabetics must maintain their HbA1C levels below 6.5  & this can be best achieved by...

1.  at least 1 hour of exercise, walking 8000 steps 

2. Diets full of fresh vegetables & fruits rich in fibers 

3. Restrict salt to 5 g daily max

4. Restrict sugar or sugary sweets

5. Avoid smoking & alcohol

6. Avoid deep fried foods 

7. Avoid bakery & other high trans fats foods

8. Adequately hydrated with at least 3 litres of water in a day preferably warm

9. Use Ginger, Lemons, Garlic, Pudina leaves, Fenugreek, adequately. 

10. Regularly monitor Hemoglobin levels & WBC RBC Morphology. 

Increasing blood glucose gets bound to haemoglobin to form glycosylated hemoglobin commonly understood as HbA1C. Higher HbA1C is the indicator of diabetes. Now the difference between HbA1C of 7 & HbA1C of 8  can be dangerous. Higher HbA1C means more iron or haemoglobin lost to glycosylation. This increases fatigue value, lower blood oxygen levels, Cellular stress & can result into chronic medical conditions related to blood circulation, atherosclerosis, stroke, neurodegenerative disorders, insomnia, sleep apnea, & even deadly diseases like cancers. 

Cancers, as we all know, are the result of depleting cellular oxygen levels. 

Hemoglobin is critical parameter as it transports oxygen ( Life) to heart, brain, muscles , & all cells of our body. 

Turmeric Curcuminoids, Red spinach, Pomegranate, Green tea, Moringa helps oxygenation of cells & greatly reduced the Cellular stress. Vitamin C , Vitamin K2-7, Vitamin D & Omega 3 serum index need to be regularly followed.

So, preferably, control your diabetes by controlling your appetite by increasing dietary fibers from fresh fruits & vegetables& at least 1 hour of walking every day.
