Diabetes Talk

Myself Dr. Kashyap Shah and i'm practicing as a Nutritionist & Diabetes Educator since 14 years. Let us be clear: the recent increase in the number of people with diabetes worldwide constitutes the biggest disease epidemic in human history. If you or any of your loved one is having diabetes, it takes lots of efforts and time in coming terms with diabetes. Diabetes education can have a wide range of positive effects at a number of levels. Diabetes education is an active process that supports people in building self-management skills, and provides for shared decision making about how best to fit diabetes treatment into daily life. Diabetes Talk is an effort to educate you and your family about diabetes. My aim is that diabetes education should fulfill certain objectives and the diabetic patient should be able to: 1. Understand diabetes and its management. 2. To develop practical skills and be able to analyze and relate facts, make decisions and
take appropriate action. eg. adjusting insulin dosage or making the right food choices.
3. To develop a positive attitude and have self confidence. 4. To be able to live a healthy and active life by reducing hospitalization due to complication of diabetes. Understanding Diabetes is the first season, and lots of another season with variety of issues related to diabetes would follow soon. Happy Listening!
