quota. Type 2 diabetes is spreading rapidly in the country in the last few years. Kota is also seeing an increase in the number of diabetes patients after Kovid-19. Type 2 diabetes patients have also increased in children and youth in the city. Increasing stress in children, youth and students is believed to be the main cause of type 2 diabetes. Students coming to Kota are also falling prey to this disease.

Dr. Manoj Saluja, Senior Professor Medicine and Incharge of Diabetes Clinic at Medical College Kota said that in India, one out of every four people (25.3 per cent) under the age of 25 suffering from diabetes has type 2 diabetes. In the last few years, such cases have also increased in Kota. Students coming from outside are falling prey to this due to stress and irregular routine. Dr. Saluja told that after Kovid there has been a sudden increase in the number of diabetes patients.

These are the reasons, this is how you can improve

Dr. Saluja says that consumption of processed food, lack of exercise and increasing stress among students are major reasons for type 2 diabetes. The youth should bring a change in their routine. According to Saluja, youth should do regular exercise. Exercise helps in controlling blood sugar levels, preventing weight gain. Brisk walk, jogging, swimming, light gym workout etc are important to keep the sugar level low.

Apart from exercise, Saluja also tells about the food habits. Smokers have twice the risk of diabetes than non-smokers. So leave this habit, eat healthy food. Taking Vitamin-C supplements can help diabetic patients reduce elevated blood sugar levels throughout the day. Research has found that vitamin-C lowers blood pressure in people with type-2 diabetes.
