Throughout the session, Dr. Sunil Gupta shared practical and easy-to-follow advice on managing diabetes effectively in daily life. He emphasized the importance of moderation during festivals, advising people to enjoy the “sweetness of words” rather than consuming excessive sweets. A positive attitude, self-discipline, and mindful choices, he said, are crucial for maintaining good health. Dr. Gupta encouraged individuals with diabetes to monitor their blood sugar regularly using a glucometer or continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system to understand their glucose trends and make timely adjustments in diet, medication, and physical activity. Highlighting that 50–70% of people with diabetes are overweight, he explained the “Fit Fat Concept,” which means that even if a person carries extra weight, staying active and physically fit can significantly reduce diabetes-related risks. He also recommended avoiding HFSS foods (High Fat, High Salt, and High Sugar) and instead including more fiber-rich foods, vegetables, and fruits in the daily diet. Stressing the importance of consistent exercise, proper hydration, and stress control, Dr. Gupta concluded that diabetes management goes beyond medicines — it requires awareness, lifestyle balance, and a positive mindset for long-term well-being.
