"Breakthrough Treatment Offers Hope for Diabetes Reversal: What You Need to Know"





Diabetes is a chronic health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy. It involves issues with a hormone called insulin, which is produced by the pancreas and is crucial for regulating blood sugar (glucose) levels. There are two main types of diabetes:

  1. Type 1 Diabetes: This is an autoimmune condition where the body attacks the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, leading to little or no insulin production. It typically develops in children and young adults, though it can occur at any age. People with Type 1 diabetes need to take insulin daily to manage their blood sugar levels.

  2. Type 2 Diabetes: This is the most common type of diabetes, usually developing in adults but increasingly found in younger individuals. In Type 2 diabetes, the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn't produce enough insulin, leading to higher blood sugar levels. It is often associated with obesity, lack of physical activity, and poor diet, though genetics can also play a role. Management of Type 2 diabetes often includes lifestyle changes, oral medications, and sometimes insulin.

Additionally, there's Gestational Diabetes, which occurs during pregnancy and usually resolves after giving birth, though it increases the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later in life.





Chronic high blood sugar levels, if left unmanaged, can lead to severe complications, including heart disease, kidney failure, nerve damage, and vision problems. Managing diabetes involves a combination of medication, monitoring blood sugar levels, diet, and regular physical activity

Every seven seconds, someone is diagnosed with diabetes in the world. A survey by the National Institute of Population Research and Training (NIPORT) found that the number of people suffering from diabetes in the country is 10 million. Among them, the number of 18 to 34 years old is 26 lakh. And the number of people over 35 years old is 84 lakh.

Many people are diagnosed with diabetes after developing another disease or complication. Diabetes is a silent killer. So every person above 40 should be checked for diabetes once a year. In addition, if there are symptoms or if there is a risk, it should be tested earlier.
