Diabetes and Tiredness: Fact or Fiction? - Dr Kirti Samudra - Video
Overview
Maintaining HbA1c levels below 7% is crucial for individuals with diabetes to ensure optimal blood sugar control and minimize the risk of complications.HbA1c, or glycated hemoglobin, reflects average blood sugar levels over several months. Keeping it within the recommended range helps reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications, including cardiovascular issues, nerve damage, and kidney problems. By actively managing HbA1c, individuals can mitigate these risks and lead a healthier life. Regular monitoring, lifestyle modifications, and medication adherence contribute to achieving the target HbA1c, promoting overall well-being for people with diabetes.
Contrary to the misconception that diabetes inevitably leads to constant fatigue, proper management, including medication adherence, balanced nutrition, and regular exercise, can significantly enhance energy levels and overall quality of life. Fatigue in diabetes may be linked to uncontrolled blood sugar, emphasizing the importance of HbA1c monitoring. By keeping HbA1c below 7%, individuals can proactively manage their condition, reduce fatigue, and foster a healthier, more energetic lifestyle, debunking the notion that diabetes inevitably results in persistent tiredness.
In this video, Dr Kirti Samudra, a Diabetologist from Maharashtra, discusses the importance of maintaining HbA1C levels within the recommended range while clarifying whether diabetes causes constant fatigue.
