Lima. – Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that is characterized by high blood glucose levels permanently or chronically. Peruvian diabetes suffers from about 2 million pergolas, and WHO is known as "one of the main killers in the world." This is due to the fact that every six seconds a person dies of diabetes, every three people are diagnosed with a new case, and every 20 suffer from amputations due to complications caused by this disease.
The World Diabetes Day celebrates 14 November, and it is important to recognize the threat of this pandemic as it approaches this date. The situation in our country is very worrying, because at present we have about 7% of Peruvian population who have diabetes, and many of them do not know it.
The largest number of diabetic perches is found on the coast in cities such as Arequipa and Piura. In the Andean and Jungle area, the index is lower due to work and food, the coast is rich in fat and sugars, which makes it easier for people to gain weight. It should be noted that if a person has parents or siblings who are suffering from diabetes, it is very likely that they also suffer from this disease. Hypertensive patients and smokers also have a higher risk of developing diabetes.
With that in mind, Dr. William Vicente Taboada, Doctor of Clinical Pathology at the Unilab Laboratory, gives us some recommendations to help prevent diabetes:
1. Exercise more physical activity. Studies have shown that aerobic and resistance training can help control diabetes. You can get the most benefit from a lesson program that combines both types of training.
2. Fiber Consumption: Natural fiber is extraordinary and can help you: It reduces the risk of diabetes by improving blood sugar, reducing the risk of heart disease, and stimulating weight loss as it helps to feel satisfied.
3. Keep a healthy weight: Obesity is associated with diabetes, so it is necessary to maintain a proper weight.
4. Periodic glucose control: control will help detect and alert if there is a change in glucose.
"In the Unilab laboratory, we want to promote diabetes prevention and early diagnosis. Therefore, we have the Preventive Health Campaign, which is scheduled for this week, October 23rd and Saturday, October 24, at our headquarters, Jesus of Maria. "Closed the doctor.
