Diabetes Awareness: Prevention and Early Signs Tips

Diabetes has become one of the fastest-growing health concerns globally, affecting millions of people across all age groups. At Tranquil and Quest Specialist Hospital, we are committed to promoting health awareness and preventive care to help you live a healthier, longer life.

Understanding Diabetes

Diabetes occurs when the body cannot properly regulate blood sugar (glucose) levels. This happens when the pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin (Type 1 Diabetes) or when the body doesn’t use insulin effectively (Type 2 Diabetes). Over time, uncontrolled blood sugar levels can lead to serious health complications affecting the heart, kidneys, nerves, and eyes.

Early Signs to Watch For

Early detection of diabetes is key to effective management. Be aware of these common warning signs:

  • Frequent urination
  • Excessive thirst or hunger
  • Sudden or unexplained weight loss
  • Persistent fatigue and weakness
  • Blurred vision
  • Slow-healing wounds or recurrent infections

If you experience any of these symptoms, book a medical consultation at Tranquil and Quest Specialist Hospital for a comprehensive diabetes screening.

How to Prevent Diabetes

While Type 1 Diabetes cannot be prevented, Type 2 Diabetes can often be delayed or avoided through healthy lifestyle choices:

  • Eat a balanced diet: Include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
  • Exercise regularly: Engage in at least 30 minutes of physical activity most days.
  • Maintain a healthy weight: Regularly monitor your BMI and waist circumference.
  • Reduce sugar intake: Limit sweetened beverages and processed foods.
  • Go for routine checkups: Early blood glucose tests can help detect prediabetes before it becomes Type 2 Diabetes.
