“…The conventional risk factors of urbanisation, unhealthy eating habits, physical inactivity and inherent genetic attributes all contribute to increasing prevalence of diabetes [7][8][9][10]. Subsequently the prevalence of microvascular and macrovascular complications of diabetes is also on the rise.…”

“…Klein et al [11] showed that diabetic patients are 2-3 times more likely to develop cataract than their normal counterparts. The risk is more (about 15-25 times) in young diabetics aged less than 40 years [7][8][9][10]. The three main mechanisms involved in the development of cataract are the activated polyol pathway, oxidative stress and accumulation of non-enzymatic glycation end products (AGES).…”

Abstract:Diabetes is a well-known causative factor for cataract in both developing and developed countries. Diabetic patients also have higher risk of both operative and post-operative complications. However early detection of diabetes in young patients along with strict diabetic control can minimise the risk of development of cataract. Though drugs like aldose reductase inhibitors and other antioxidants have been found to be beneficial, their clinical efficacy is still uncertain. We hereby describe a rare case of bilateral cataract in a patient of type 1 diabetes mellitus in a young female.

ABSTRACT:-The main objective of our study is to find out the awareness and knowledge of diabetic retinopathy among diabetic patients at Father Muller medical college Hospital, Mangalore India. Diabetic retinopathy results from poor management of diabetes mellitus and lack of awareness and knowledge on the complications of diabetes mellitus. Patients were selected randomly and requested to fill the questionnaires and who were not in a position to fill due to visual disability or illiteracy, researcher filled the questionnaire for them. In our study we found that, in terms of knowledge and awareness, 37.4% had heard about the eye complications of diabetes and 62.6% never heard about it. Out of 37.4% only 24.9% know the relationship between diabetes and diabetic eye disease; 29.5 % have heard that vision can be affected due to high blood sugar levels. 32% of 200 participants go for regular eye check-ups while 68% never go for check-ups. The results of our study suggests that there is lack of general awareness of diabetic retinopathy amongst majority of diabetic patients and there is a need to increase the awareness and knowledge among the population.

“…The triad of low birth weight and stunting due to malnutrition in early life availability of energy-dense foods at a later age in life, and sedentary habits, eventually leading to obesity with alteration in the body composition in terms of fat deposition, insulin resistance, and diet related chronic diseases [83]. MetS continues to evolve over a period of lifetime as evident in case of Delhi birth cohort which indicated prevalence of CVD risk factors highest among the ages of 29-36 years [167]. Young adulthood is a critical period to target intervention strategies that prevent excess weight gain and central fat deposition.…”

Metabolic syndrome is a constellation of risk factors that has the potential of developing into cardiovascular disease or increase the susceptibility to it. It is present worldwide with now even developing countries getting overwhelmed by its burden. With a shift towards unhealthy diet coupled with sedentary lifestyle, development of metabolic syndrome is on the rise even among young adults. One of the main causes of this problem is faulty diet, so any means to reduce the incidence of the syndrome involves the modification of the existing diets rich in saturated fat, sodium and cholesterol. This review focusses on efficacy of different dietary patterns for combating the syndrome along with other lifestyle risk factors. It also highlights newer advancements in the field of Metabolic Syndrome, which can serve as potential strategies to combat it. Public health interventions targeting adults, therefore, should center on prevention through education, modification of diet and lifestyle, and focusing on environment, so that these changes are acceptable and sustainable.
