Type 2 diabetes, on the other hand, affects children and teenagers, owing to childhood obesity. Type 2 diabetes is the most common type. Type 2 diabetes affects nearly 29 million people in India.

Why are diabetics more prone to COVID-19?

Image
Diabetes is a disease that can quickly slip out of control if we let our defenses down, as those of us with diabetes know all too well. We can't afford to let that happen with this pandemic around. The pandemic of COVID-19 is proving to be the main case of 2020, impacting almost every nation worldwide. A devastating threat to the world that cannot be ignored has been caused by the pandemic. For two main reasons, the COVID-19 pandemic struck fear in the hearts of nations and their people all over the world: it is very contagious, and it can kill. Fever, dry cough, fatigue, and headaches are the most prevalent symptoms recorded. In other words, the effects are no worse than the normal flu with most individuals.

If you've been diagnosed with diabetes, you understand that regula...

Image
Everyone has heard the adage that drinking at least 8 glasses of water per day are beneficial, which is about 2 liters of water per day and that’s also what Institute of Medicine recommends. Although the "8 by 8" rule isn't supported by hard evidence, it remains popular because it's easy to remember. While the eight glasses rule is a good start, it isn’t based on solid, well-researched information. Did you know that almost 60 percent of your body weight is made up of water, so that means every system in your body needs water to function properly! All the Doctors at KRIMS Hospitals, which is the best pulmonologist in Nagpur recommend that one should drink more water if the person lives in a city with a hot climate, so in a city like Nagpur where the temperature rises to as high as 45 degree Celsius during summers, drinking more water is paramount.
