Many of your patients have indicators of insulin resistance and are, therefore, at risk of developing lifestyle diseases.
Most family physicians in India are likely to find one or more of the following risk factors in over 75% of their patients above the age of 40 years:
- Overweight or obesity
- Abdominal obesity, even while BMI is normal
- Age 45 or more.
- A first-degree relative (parent or sibling) with diabetes.
- A sedentary lifestyle.
- High blood pressure
- High triglycerides, low HDL
- History of gestational diabetes.
- History or family history of heart disease or stroke.
- Sleeping disorder, for example, sleep apnea.
- Smoking.
- Some deficiencies, specifically Vitamin D, Folate and B12
Some other common red flags include skin tags and acanthosis nigricans,
These patients must adopt a scientifically formulated diet. They must also supplement it with physical activity and reduce or eliminate other lifestyle risk factors like smoking, stress, and excessive alcohol.
As their physician, you can advise your patients to adopt a healthy meal plan, which reduces their calorific intake and the glycemic load of their meals while increasing nutritional density.
However, getting and applying nutrition knowledge to create a healthy diet is complex. Most patients will need a nutritionist-designed diet plan. Also, compliance is a big problem because most diets force the patient to eat food with unfamiliar or disliked tastes and flavours.
SugarDrop solves the problem with a nutritionist-certified meal plan designed for the patient’s tastes and cuisine preferences. It combines the skills of a nutritionist with those of a chef!
