The number of diabetic patients is about one million in our country and it is increasing with every passing day. We need to create awareness among the people to arrest further escalation of this disease. Sedentary lifestyle and unbalanced diet are the main causes of diabetes. If we bring about change in our lifestyle, it will initiate a positive change towards a healthy life. It is encouraging to note that urban populace is becoming more conscious about diabetes and I am sure this awareness will play positive role to prevent the disease. Diabetes has few early symptoms like weight loss, tired feeling and and frequent feeling of thirst. Chances of diabetes increase with age. Family history also plays an important role in this regard. Especially people who live in urban areas are more prone to diabetes and therefore they need to be extra careful.
We are living in the age of communication technology which encourages us to work with the computer and smartphone for hours together and deprive us of all-important physical activities. We should be careful and spend a part of our time in physical work outs in order to have an active and healthy life and encourage our children to do the same.
