Transformative Insights By Dietitian Silky Mahajan: Managing Type 2 Diabetes Through Nutrition

Bengaluru,  September 08, 2023:  Type 2 Diabetes, a chronic condition characterized by elevated blood sugar levels, poses a significant health challenge, both in India, and globally. In Indian rural areas, about 2.4% of people have type 2 diabetes, while in cities, the number goes up to 11.6%.

Thus, effective management of Type 2 Diabetes has emerged as a critical challenge. Lifestyle changes, particularly in nutrition, play a pivotal role in achieving better control over blood sugar levels. However, there exists a significant gap in understanding how diet can truly transform the lives of those dealing with this condition. Moreover, individuals with Type 2 diabetes often struggle to find accurate information and guidance to manage their condition and improve their quality of life effectively.

Individuals diagnosed with this condition often struggle with fluctuating blood sugar levels, increased risk of heart diseases, and reduced overall quality of life. Despite medical advancements, many patients remain unaware of the potential benefits that targeted nutritional strategies can offer in managing their condition effectively. This lack of clarity often leads to frustration and hampered progress, and sometimes further aggravates the condition.
