Delaying Insulin Therapy Raises Risk of Diabetes Complications

Dr. Sunil Gupta highlighted that insulin remains the most effective and life-saving treatment for diabetes, especially when oral medications fail. He explained that many people with Type 2 diabetes eventually require insulin, and delaying its initiation can lead to serious complications such as neuropathy, retinopathy, kidney disease, heart disease and diabetic foot problems. Addressing common fears, he clarified that modern insulin pens are almost painless and newer insulin analogues closely mimic natural insulin action, significantly reducing the risk of hypoglycaemia, particularly at night. He stressed the importance of regular blood sugar monitoring, HbA1c testing and annual health check-ups after 30 years of age, noting that many individuals with diabetes may remain asymptomatic. He also drew attention to insulin-requiring diabetes in undernourished adults in India and the need for timely specialist referral. Kavita Gupta emphasized healthy dietary practices, explaining why whole fruits are better than fruit juices due to fiber and lower glycaemic index. She advised consuming low-GI foods and shared practical tips to prevent hypoglycaemia through timely meals and planned nutrition, especially for children, the elderly, and physically active individuals.
