On World Diabetes Day 2025, physicians in New Delhi conveyed a crucial insight: diabetes extends beyond simply high blood sugar levels. It influences various body systems, including hormones, bones, skin, and even hair. Observed annually on November 14, this day serves as a vital reminder for individuals to recognize their risks and initiate preventive measures.
The theme for this year, “Know Your Risk, Know Your Response,” urges individuals to delve deeper into the physiological effects of diabetes. Medical professionals contend that this understanding can empower individuals to adopt proactive health measures.
Specialists from diverse medical disciplines discussed the often-overlooked ways diabetes can cause harm.
Dr. Shobha Gupta, an IVF specialist, pointed out that diabetes can disrupt hormonal balance in women. She noted that many women in their 30s and 40s grapple with irregular menstrual cycles, PCOS, and fertility challenges attributed to insulin resistance. According to her, lifestyle adjustments, timely screenings, and heightened awareness can mitigate long-term complications.
Orthopaedic expert Dr. Abhishek Vaish highlighted that diabetes can compromise bone and joint integrity. Many patients are unaware that elevated blood sugar levels can impair bone density, increasing fracture risks. He emphasized the necessity of routine examinations and effective blood sugar management for maintaining bone health.
Cosmetologist Dr. Karuna Malhotra discussed the negative implications of diabetes on skin and hair health. She explained that symptoms like dark patches on the neck, acne, and lackluster skin may signal insulin resistance. While topical treatments can assist externally, addressing internal imbalances is crucial for long-term remedies.
Experts cautioned that while diabetes can be insidious, its consequences can be severe. It has the potential to impact the heart, kidneys, nerves, hormones, bones, and skin. Thus, early diagnostics, healthy dietary habits, physical activity, and routine medical consultations are paramount.
World Diabetes Day implores individuals not to overlook early warning signs. With increased awareness and preemptive care, many serious health concerns can be avoided.
