About Us

The vast majority of people in our country have and are about to have diabetes. The national average for diabetics is 8 per cent while in Kerala it is 20 per cent. There is only one way out of this extremely difficult situation. Make good sugar free and glycemic index foods a part of your daily life. Together with three women and an engineering student who have experienced first-hand the plight of their own family of diabetics, Hippocrates’ focus on food as a drug comes under the umbrella of sugar-free, low-glycemic index foods and various items suitable for the daily lives of diabetics. Diamery Pvt. According to the Diabetes Federation, one person dies every seven seconds in the world due to complications of diabetes. It is essential for our social progress to control the effects of this disease, which is holding back human progress, through diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Mission

Kerala is the diabetic capital of India. Our endeavour is to reduce the present ratio of diabetic patients in kerala in to national level

What is
DIABETES ?

Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar. Hyperglycaemia, or raised blood sugar, is a common effect of uncontrolled diabetes and over time leads to serious damage to many of the body’s systems, especially the nerves and blood vessels.

Type 1

Type 1 diabetes (previously known as insulin-dependent, juvenile or childhood-onset) is characterized by deficient insulin production and requires daily administration of insulin. Neither the cause of Type 1 diabetes nor the means to prevent it are known. Symptoms include excessive excretion of urine (polyuria), thirst (polydipsia), constant hunger, weight loss, vision changes, and fatigue. These symptoms may occur suddenly.

Type 2

Type 2 diabetes (formerly called non-insulin-dependent, or adult-onset) results from the body’s ineffective use of insulin. The majority of people with diabetes have type 2 diabetes. This type of diabetes is largely the result of excess body weight and physical inactivity. Symptoms may be similar to those of type 1 diabetes, but are often less marked. As a result, the disease may be diagnosed several years after onset, after complications have already arisen. Until recently, this type of diabetes was seen only in adults but it is now also occurring increasingly frequently in children.

Health
Impact

Over time, diabetes can damage the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves.

Adults with diabetes have a two- to three-fold increased risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Combined with reduced blood flow, neuropathy (nerve damage) in the feet increases the chance of foot ulcers, infection and eventual need for limb amputation.

Diabetic retinopathy is an important cause of blindness, and occurs as a result of long-term accumulated damage to the small blood vessels in the retina. Diabetes is the cause of 2.6% of global blindness.

Diabetes is among the leading causes of kidney failure.

Prevention

Simple lifestyle measures have been shown to be effective in preventing or delaying the onset of type 2 diabetes. To help prevent type 2 diabetes and its complications, people should:

achieve and maintain a healthy body weight;

be physically active – doing at least 30 minutes of regular, moderate-intensity activity on most days. More activity is required for weight control;

eat a healthy diet, avoiding sugar and saturated fats; and

avoid tobacco use – smoking increases the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Diagnosis
&
Treatment

Early diagnosis can be accomplished through relatively inexpensive testing of blood sugar.

Treatment of diabetes involves diet and physical activity along with lowering of blood glucose and the levels of other known risk factors that damage blood vessels. Tobacco use cessation is also important to avoid complications.

Interventions that are both cost-saving and feasible in low- and middle-income countries include:

blood glucose control, particularly in type 1 diabetes. People with type 1 diabetes require insulin, people with type 2 diabetes can be treated with oral medication, but may also require insulin;

blood pressure control; and

foot care (patient self-care by maintaining foot hygiene; wearing appropriate footwear; seeking professional care for ulcer management; and regular examination of feet by health professionals).
