We keep coming
across such reports and news on diabetes. What do we do?
Most probably such
news is read with care by us if anyone in our family or friend circle is
diabetic, if not, we just flip it over and assume, we don’t have diabetes and
most probably we won’t get it. All we have to do is control our food and get
some exercise! Voila! See, we know about diabetes.
Yes, good that you
know the basics. You probably may know that diabetes is genetic too. Now,
combine all the information you have, you eat right, you exercise well, and
chances are your family member are diabetic, so what are the chances you may
acquire this dreaded lifestyle diseases? Simple, you may devote some time and
walk to a nearby pathological lab to get some basic test done and know if you
are diabetic. The result comes out and the result is Negative!
You smile and thank
god that you don’t have diabetes. Congratulations!
But remember your
parents were diabetics, and probably you may not be able to give ample time to
improve your lifestyle. Now, what are the possibilities of you getting diabetes
in near future? Have you thought of it? Is there any way where you can find out
how prone you are to diabetes and its complications?
Diabetes
significantly increases the risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease, which is
the cause of death for more than 50% of diabetics. The risk of early death is
around twice more likely in diabetes sufferers than non-sufferers, meaning that
early diagnosis is critical.
Genetic Risk is a
big factor in determining how prone you are to diabetes. Combine it with your
lifestyle- the kind of food you intake, the working conditions, your exercise
level; all together determines your risk of diabetes. Technology and decades of
research on the diabetes has evolved for us to produce a scoring tool accessible
at www.grass-diabetes.com
Grass-Diabetes.com is
enabled with complex algorithms to determine the diabetes risk associated with
you. The basic information once fed in the system prepares the prognostic report
which advices you on susceptibility, risk of diabetes, age at which you may get
diabetic. The report also suggests for clinical investigation and gives you the
mantra to fight diabetes: DEED, which
stands for Diet, Exercise, Education and Drugs.
Parents
and youth must take special precautions to ward off type 2 diabetes. Type 2
diabetes - a result of the body developing a resistance to insulin - has been
dramatically increasing in adolescence primarily due to the obesity epidemic.
Insulin is the main driver of glucose - also known as sugar - and the main
course of the body’s energy. Factors for developing type 2 diabetes during
childhood and adolescence include being overweight or obese, having a strong
family history of the disease, getting it passed on from mother to child during
pregnancy, an inactive lifestyle, and race and ethnicity. Although a variety of treatments are
available for adults with type 2 diabetes, options for youths are limited. As a
parent we know how much care and love we give to our children but giving a
healthy lifestyle and more importantly evaluating the risks of such diseases on
our kids is the best gift we can give to them and ourselves. Try on, log in to
the Grass-Diabetes.com’s portal and get your peace of mind.
And some good news
to cheer you around, because, remember smile is the best medicine for most of
the diseases in world!
