To bring the spotlight on the
magnitude of the problem of diabetes that afflicts nearly four crore people
across the country, Dr. Srikanth’s Diabetes
Specialities Centre in association with regional Lions Clubs is organizing a month long
“Serial Diabetes awareness and detection camps” in selected mandals of Krishna district
beginning Tuesday the 1st of November 2011.
Centre in charge Mr. D.V.S.
Prasad said that participants detected with diabetes at the camps would be
provided free consultation, diabetes education, diet and exercise counseling. A
comprehensive annual master health checkup will be provided at 50% the actual
price to all the deserving camp attendees.
Dr. M. Srikanth chief
Diabetologist, DSDSC said the economic cost of the disease is very high and it
is essential that more funds are spent on tackling it. Since diabetics are also
two to four times more prone to blindness, cardiovascular disease, renal
failure, vascular and neurological complications, he said it should be noted
with concern that in 2011 the disease is estimated to kill nearly 4 million
people and so it is essential that steps are initiated to create greater public
awareness. He appreciated the Lions Clubs & DSDSC initiative in this
regard.
Dr. M. Suneetha Gynecologist
exclusively for women with diabetes has said that diabetes management is not
just about lowering the blood sugar level but also about how to keep future
heart attack, kidney failure, paralysis and blindness at bay.
Dietician & Diabetes
Educator A. Swetha stressed the need to modify lifestyles to prevent diabetes.
“Simple Indian food is the need of the hour. Parents also have responsibility to
see that their children don’t overeat, exercise properly and avoid junk food.”
“One should eat traditional
food items like jawar, bajra, bananas and dry fruits like cashewnuts, raisins
and almonds so that the insulin level gets decreased. People can even munch
chana. However, Western fast food is affecting the health of not only urbanites
for also rural folks who are eating chips and burgers.” She added.
