Few ways to Avoid Complications of Diabetes...

1. Keep your blood pressure under control

About 25% of people with Type 1 diabetes and 80% of people with Type 2 diabetes have high blood pressure.Having diabetes raises your risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and other health problems. If you have diabetes and high blood pressure together, your risk of health problems will be even more.

If you have diabetes, your doctor will want to be sure that your blood pressure is very well controlled. This means your blood pressure should be below 130 over 80.

2. If you drink alcohol, do so responsibly

There is no need for people with diabetes to give up alcohol simply because of their diabetes. Although alcohol does have an effect on blood sugar levels, with a few precautions and careful management, people with diabetes can also enjoy a drink.

3. Don't Smoke

Smoking is also proven to be a risk factor for insulin resistance. Patients who are insulin resistant cannot use their bodily insulin properly. Together with genetics and obesity, smoking is one of the risk factors for insulin resistance. Insulin resistance often leads to diabetes.

4. Pay attention to your feet

When you are at the risk of diabetes you need to take very good care of your feet every day.  If you do this then you can prevent serious complications.

Your feet are at risk because diabetes can cause damage to the nerves and the blood supply. 

5. Make a commitment to managing your diabetes

Food

Healthy eating is a cornerstone of healthy living. You need to follow healthy eating to manage diabetes, because foods affect your blood sugar levels. Its not based only on the type of foods but also how much you eat and the combinations of food types.

Exercise

Physical activity is an important part of diabetes management. When you do exercise, muscles of your body use sugar (glucose) for energy. This regular activity helps your body to use insulin more efficiently.

These factors work together to lower your blood sugar level. The more strenuous your workout, the longer the effect lasts. But even light activities such as housework, gardening or being on your feet for extended periods also can improve your blood sugar level.

Medication

Insulin and other diabetes medications are designed to lower your blood sugar levels when diet and exercise alone aren't sufficient for managing diabetes. But the effectiveness of these medications depends on the timing and size of the dose. Medications you take for conditions other than diabetes also can affect your blood sugar levels.

Illness

When you're sick, your body produces stress-related hormones that help your body fight the illness, but they can also raise your blood sugar level. Changes in your appetite and normal activity may also complicate diabetes management.

Silverline hospital is one of the best diabetes hospital Kerala which is dedicated to developing and providing the highest quality, compassionate medical care to serve the needs of the patients. We are providing the most comprehensive, efficient and effective clinical services for patients with diabetes and other endocrinology disorders.

Get Rid of Type 1 Diabetes !! Get Treatment Immediately

Once known as juvenile diabetes, Diabetes type 1 is typically diagnosed in small children and teens. When affected by it, the human body does not produce insulin, which is an essential hormone for ensuring that the sugar we consume is converted into energy. This leads to many complications for people with this condition.

Fortunately, it has become easier to cope with Diabetes type 1 than it was years ago, giving its sufferers a fair chance at leading a full life with no setbacks. Read this article for a bit of background information on this disease, as well as things to watch out for in order to only have the best possible experiences every day.

Reasons for Developing Diabetes Type 1

Diabetes type 1 can develop at any time in a person's life, but the most likely onset of this condition is detected during childhood and adolescence. The most commonly believed cause of diabetes is linked strongly with our diet, but genetics play a big part in it as well.


Once a person's body is no longer able to produce insulin on its own, the glucose consumed with sugars and other foods gradually builds up in the bloodstream and becomes a cause for the symptoms of Diabetes 1.

Symptoms

• Un unusual feeling of thirst or hunger that doesn't go away when you eat or drink is often linked with Diabetes type 1
• Worsening eyesight and unprompted weight loss  is the another symptom. 
• People who have Diabetes 1 can also occasionally lose feeling in their limbs if proper care is not provided.
•  Flushed face. 
•  Trouble breathing.
•  Dryness of skin and mouth. 
•  Unusual odor coming from the breath.
•  Pains in the stomach.
•  Nausea or vomiting.

If a patient also develops low blood sugar, a few other symptoms can appear on this list, such as headache, anxiety, racing heart, weakness in the muscles, shaking and sweating.

Treatment for Diabetes

The onset of Diabetes type 1 can be rapid and when the initial symptoms kick in, the affected person may be too weak to leave the hospital.Once the situation has stabilized, people may attempt to manage their condition by going to a weekly medical checkup, making notes of the food they eat and working out a comprehensive treatment that will let them enjoy life as usual.

Proper control of your blood sugar level and the right amount of insulin injections lead to an overall stabilizing of the condition, reducing the visible Diabetes type 1 symptoms. In order to keep the situation under control, the affected person must never miss these checkups and monitor their blood sugar.

People with type 1 diabetes need to follow a treatment plan to manage their diabetes and stay healthy and active. Silverline Hospital offers the best diabetes treatment in kerala with the help of expirenced doctors.

Gastric Sleeve Weight Loss Surgery at Affordable Rate

Gastric sleeve surgery is performed to make the stomach smaller and help patients to reduce weight. Gastric sleeve surgery is suitable for people who are severely overweight and who have not been able to lose weight with diet, exercise, or medicine. With a smaller stomach, you will feel full a lot quicker than you are used to. This means that you will need to make big lifelong changes in how you eat-including smaller portion sizes and different foods-in order to lose weight.

Gastric Sleeve surgery is generally considered when your body mass index (BMI) is 40 or higher. Surgery may also be an option when your BMI is 35 or higher and you have a life-threatening or disabling problem that is related to your weight. It is important to think of this surgery as a tool to help you lose weight. It is not an instant fix. You will still need to eat a healthy diet and get regular exercise. This will help you reach your weight goal and avoid regaining the weight you lose.


How the surgery procedure works ??

Research has shown that people who have had a sleeve gastrectomy on average lose more than half of their excess weight. Success is higher for people who are realistic about how much weight will be lost and who keep appointments with the medical team, follow the recommended eating plan, and are physically active.

Benefits

• The method doesn't require the disconnection or reconnection of the intestinal portions.
• The procedure is simpler and safer
• Satisfaction with smaller portions of food
• Less invasive than other bariatric surgeries
• No risk of dumping syndrome
• No foreign devices inserted

Recommendations after gastric sleeve surgery

• Avoid high calorie beverages such as milk shakes, hot chocolate, soda drinks and similar. 
• Eat small portions.  As the capacity of the stomach has changed, amount of food consumption should be reduced. 
• No laying down after eating. The horizontal position will make more difficulty to reduce the weight. 
• Do not eat and drink at the same time.
• Completely mash food before swallowing. 
• Get used to eating 5 times per day. 

It's important to remember that gastric sleeve surgical treatment really should not be viewed as an finish all cure for people who are struggling with their body weight. In order to get gastric bypass sleeve surgery a person needs top be considered obese to a point that their health is greatly impacted. This would be different dependent upon you height and weight. SilverLine Hospital is one of the best hospital in India who offers the gastric sleeve surgery at affordable rate.
