The prevalence of obesity and associated type 2 diabetes have reached epidemic portions in world-wide. The alarming rise in Type -2 diabetes in Jammu and Kashmir is a big challenge in already collapsed health sector.
In a worrying trend, Sher-e-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS) Soura has registered over 700 cases of Type 2 diabetic cases of adolescents below the age group of 25 in the last two years.
According to an official data, there is a 20 percent increase in the cases over the past few years which doctors said is alarming in the valley.
In 2015, Type 2 diabetes was found only in 5 percent in the age group between 10 to 25 years.
experienced a MI are twice as likely to experience another one. These results suggest that the risk for a MI in people with diabetes who haven’t already experienced one is comparable to that in patients without diabetes who have already experienced a MI. Patients with diabetes have a worse long-term prognosis following a MI, which increases the risk of congestive heart failure and death. Even those who just have insulin resistance—often a prodrome of developing T2DM—have a higher chance of getting cardiovascular disease.
Treatment: lifestyle adjustments and risk factor management
Everyone agrees that leading a healthy lifestyle is important for managing diabetes. The development of healthy self-care habits, such as exercising, eating a nutrient-rich food, and managing blood sugar, is essential to preventing disease. Smoking, alcohol use, and diet make up the three main modifiable risk factors for diabetes within healthy living.
Diet:
Understanding diabetes has long centred on diet, with early records of the disease’s symptoms being linked to eating foods high in sugar and carbohydrates. Diet in diabetes (type 1 and type 2) aims to lower risk of diabetes and CVD by encouraging good dietary selections.
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) advocates a diet that helps people with diabetes attain and maintain blood glucose levels as close to normal as feasible, as well as a lipid and lipoprotein profile that lowers the risk of vascular disease and promotes stable blood pressure.
The underlying mechanisms required to control glucose metabolism and effectively manage diabetes, whether alone or in conjunction with pharmacological therapy, include adhering to the prescribed amounts of macro and micronutrients of carbs, fat, protein, vitamins, and minerals.
Studies have linked a high-sugar diet to a lower risk of developing T2DM, and those who consume large amounts of fried, sweet, and red meat had a higher risk of developing insulin resistance and T2DM. The latter three diets provided better glycaemic control in people with T2DM, according to a systematic review of low carbohydrate, fasting, macrobiotic, Mediterranean, vegetarian, and vegan diets.
Why it rocks: Earnest likes that this move works the front of your body and helps with balance and stability when you’re working other parts of the upper body.
What it works: The main focus is the chest (specifically your pectoral muscles), but your triceps and supporting muscles in your shoulders (primarily the front deltoids) will be put to work a bit as well, Earnest says.
How to:
Lie face up on the floor with your knees bent and feet planted, holding two dumbbells in a goal post position (drop your elbows to the ground and create 90-degree angles with your arms).
Tuck your hips under and actively press your spine down to the mat to engage your core and align your spine down. (Think: you shouldn’t have an arch under your back.)
Exhale and press dumbbells up until your arms are fully extended above your chest.
Inhale and slowly lower back to the starting position. That's one rep.
