Diabetes: Myth 1: Genetics Are to be Blamed-There’s Nothing I Can Do

Many of us believe that genetics are like a family curse when it comes to diabetes and high blood sugar. Interestingly, it’s the lifestyle that pulls the trigger even though the genes do load the gun. According to research, even with shared DNA, one twin can develop diabetes while the other doesn’t, purely due to habits.

Myth 2: Once You Start Blood Sugar Medicines, There’s No End

Ever heard the line, “”beta lifelong dawai khani padegi”? The truth is that medication is not a life sentence but a tool to reduce or reverse dependency. Lifestyle tweaks could help you improve type 2 diabetes that is a result of insulin resistance.

Myth 3: Fasting Sugar Normal, Everything Is Normal

A normal fasting blood sugar reading (under 100 mg/dL) feels like a green light. Many believed that they don’t need to follow any lifestyle tweaks or medications if their normal fasting blood sugar reading is normal. But, this is far from the truth.

Track your levels, tweak habits and consult endocrinologists, diabetes reversal is real.
