Dear Komal
I am 24 years old.
My grandparents on both sides had diabetes and both my parents have diabetes, which means both my younger sister and I have a good chance of getting it.
How can we protect ourselves from now itself?
Sujay Surapkar
Hereditary is one of the pivotal factors in manifestation of a health disorder.
Being alert of your health parameters and having a healthy lifestyle will keep these disorders at bay.
The best way to protect yourself from diabetes is to maintain normal blood parameters of sugar, cholesterol, etc.
To do so, you need to follow a balanced diet with more complex carbohydrates, low fat, high fibre, adequate protein and a fitness regimen.
Ensure inclusion of immunity boosters and anti-inflammatory foods like cinnamon, methi seeds, etc, with a focus on lowering your glycemic index.
Sound sleep of at least 7-8 hours and being consistent in maintaining a healthy weight will go a long way in keeping you free of diabetes.
