Highlights from EDFC's diabetes awareness get-together in Surat, with a live session on blood sugar control and protecting your feet from complications.
Elegance Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic (EDFC) organised a diabetes awareness program in Surat, bringing diabetic patients and their families together for a get-together and a live session on sugar control. This short video shares highlights from the event, held under the guidance of Dr. Ashutosh Shah.
About the Program
Living with diabetes is easier when patients understand their condition and can learn from others in the same situation. The program gave patients a chance to meet, ask questions and learn practical ways to manage their sugar levels and protect their feet.
Key Takeaways on Sugar Control
- Check your sugar regularly: Monitor blood sugar as advised by your doctor and keep a record.
- Take medicines on time: Do not stop or change medicines or insulin without your doctor's advice.
- Eat balanced meals: Regular meal timings, controlled portions and less sugar and refined food help keep levels steady.
- Stay active: Regular walking or exercise, as advised by your doctor, improves sugar control.
- Get regular check-ups: HbA1c, eye, kidney and foot checks help catch complications early.
Why Foot Care Is Part of Diabetes Care
High blood sugar over time can damage the nerves and blood flow in the feet, which can lead to ulcers and infections. Good sugar control, daily foot checks and suitable footwear are among the most effective ways to prevent diabetic foot problems.
