It is a known fact that people with diabetes are more prone to infections. From urinary and foot infec-tions to tuberculosis, people with diabetes need to be extra careful about preventing and treating infectious diseases. Covid-19 too has shown to be more severe and likely to lead to increased mortality in people with diabetes.
Dr. V Mohan, Chairman and Chief Diabetologist, Dr. Mohan's Diabetes Specialities Centre at Chennai, offers 4 tips to guard people with diabetes against Covid and prevent complications. He calls this as the ABCD mantra of diabetes management
What is this ABCD mantra?
A stands for A1C or Glycosylated Hemoglobin. HbA1C is a blood test that shows your blood sugar control for the past 3 months. Keeping the A1c below 7% enhances one's immunity multifold.
B stands for Blood pressure. This should preferably be less than 140/90 mm of Hg. This of course can be higher in older people.
C stands for Cholesterol. Serum lipids are measured as serum cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL cholesterol. Each of these parameters needs to be kept in control since they contribute to cardiac problems.
D stands for Discipline. This needs a three-fold approach - diet, exercise and medicines. While medicines form an important part of the diabetes control, effective diet and exercise regimen with stress reduction are even more important
