Eluru: Diabetes is no longer a disease confined to elderly, as changing lifestyles and unhealthy food habits are increasing the risk of the disease among younger people too, said Dr Jyothi Kumari, Head of Department of Nutrition and Dietetics at CHSD St Theresa’s College for Women.
The Department of Nutrition and Dietetics organised an awareness programme on Saturday to mark World Diabetes Day.
Addressing the gathering, Dr Jyothi Kumari said that early diagnosis and timely treatment under medical supervision could prevent several long-term complications.
She advised people not to ignore symptoms such as excessive thirst, frequent urination, increased hunger, unexplained weight loss, persistent fatigue and blurred vision.
Regular monitoring of blood glucose levels was essential for early detection and effective management, she added. She said people living with diabetes should take prescribed medication regularly, follow dietary advice and monitor their blood glucose levels under medical supervision.
The programme highlighted that awareness, preventive measures and disciplined lifestyle habits play a crucial role in preventing and managing diabetes.
