   Protect Your Kidney from the Beginning !!!

   Diabetes is increasingly common among older adults, making regular screening and proper management essential. Dr. Sunil Gupta emphasizes that elderly people with diabetes should regularly monitor blood glucose, blood pressure, and cholesterol, along with routine kidney assessments. In the early stages of diabetic kidney disease, microalbuminuria may develop. However, a single positive result does not always indicate permanent kidney damage, as urinary albumin can temporarily increase due to infection, fever, exercise, stress, or acute illness. Therefore, repeat testing is important before confirming the condition. People with a family history of diabetes should be particularly careful and undergo regular screening. If prediabetes is detected, lifestyle modifications—including maintaining a healthy weight, following a balanced diet, and staying physically active—can help reduce the risk of progressing to diabetes. Early prevention and regular monitoring can significantly improve long-term health. Dr. Sunil Gupta also emphasizes that there is no need to fear insulin therapy. Modern insulin pens use very fine needles and are much more comfortable than older injection methods. Type 2 diabetes is a progressive condition, and treatment may need to change over time. With appropriate medical care, lifestyle modification, and efforts to preserve pancreatic beta-cell function, good blood glucose control can be maintained for many years.

He also highlighted that Indians are genetically more prone to diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and heart disease, making regular health check-ups, healthy eating, and physical activity essential for prevention. Dr. Gupta also answered listeners' questions on diabetic neuropathy, obesity, insulin resistance, prediabetes, and diabetes prevention. He emphasized that good control of blood glucose, blood pressure, cholesterol, regular monitoring, and timely treatment can significantly reduce the risk of complications such as nerve damage, foot ulcers, heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease. He stressed that lifestyle modification remains the cornerstone of diabetes prevention and management. Concluding the programme, Dr. Gupta described the four pillars of diabetes care—healthy diet, regular exercise, medications, and glucose monitoring—while emphasizing that the most important foundation is diabetes education and patient empowerment. Acting as the “Table Top” of the four pillars. He encouraged greater awareness in schools, workplaces, and communities, reminding listeners that "Genes are the loaded guns; the environment pulls the trigger," making healthy lifestyle choices the key to preventing diabetes and living a healthier life.

   During the live phone-in programme “Hello Doctor”, organized by the Diabetes Care Foundation of India, Dr. Sunil Gupta highlighted the special challenges faced by people with diabetes during the monsoon season. He explained that sudden weather changes and infections can significantly worsen blood glucose control and increase the risk of hospitalization and complications.

Dr. Gupta encouraged individuals to take ownership of their health through regular monitoring, annual screening, preventive care, and evidence-based treatment.
