Why worry about diabetes, and can it be cured solely with weight loss? - Dr Nilakshi H. Sabnis - Video
Overview
Diabetes is a chronic condition marked by elevated blood sugar levels due to inadequate insulin production or utilization. It's concerning due to potential complications affecting the heart, kidneys, eyes, nerves, and more.
Addressing the myth, while weight loss plays a crucial role in managing diabetes, it's not a guaranteed cure. Type 2 diabetes, often linked to lifestyle factors like obesity, can sometimes be managed or put into remission with significant weight loss and lifestyle changes. However, diabetes cure solely through weight loss isn't universally applicable. Type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune condition, cannot be cured with weight loss as it requires lifelong insulin treatment.
Managing diabetes involves various factors beyond weight loss, including medication, diet, exercise, and medical guidance. Weight loss can improve blood sugar control, but comprehensive and ongoing management remains crucial in mitigating diabetes complications and maintaining overall health. Consulting healthcare professionals for personalized treatment plans is essential for effective diabetes management.
In this video, Dr Nilakshi H. Sanbis, Consultant Physician and Diabetologist from Zen Hospital, Mumbai, Maharashtra explores the nature of diabetes and its significance, debunking the myth related to curing diabetes through weight loss alone.
