Myth-busting in diabetes is vital

Dr. Sunil Gupta addressed several common diabetes-related myths—especially those that spread during festivals—such as the false belief that diabetes spreads through touch, that bitter gourd juice is a cure, or that eating sweets directly causes diabetes. He clarified that such misconceptions can misguide people and delay proper care. Dr. Gupta explained that tingling or numbness in the hands and feet is not always due to high sugar levels; it can also be caused by nerve pressure, sitting posture, or Vitamin B12 deficiency. In Type 2 diabetes, medicines may reduce with disciplined lifestyle changes, but complete cure is rare. Diabetes may get “reversed” in specific situations such as gestational diabetes after delivery, stress-induced diabetes, or after bariatric surgery. He also highlighted that children’s late-night gaming habits harm mental health and sometimes require psychological guidance. Dr. Gupta discussed the stages of Diabetic Retinopathy, noting that retinal damage cannot be reversed, though progression can be slowed with timely treatment. Conditions like Vitamin D3/B12 deficiency, infections, high BP, or glaucoma can also affect vision—so both diabetes and eye specialists should be consulted. Dr. Gupta emphasized that diabetes is a lifestyle condition and individuals should not be labeled as “patients.” Expert- Dr Sunil Gupta Anchor- Mrs. Shraddha Bharadwaj Podcast: 11/10/2019 Recorded at: Akashwani Nagpur
