00:00 Good morning!

00:01 Good morning!

00:02 Magandang umaga Chi and Audrey and good morning to all the viewers of Rise and Shine Philippines.

00:07 Okay, Doktora, we often hear about the disease of diabetes, but what is it?

00:12 What is the cause of this disease?

00:14 What is the cause of this disease?

00:16 What is the cause of this disease?

00:18 What is the cause of this disease?

00:20 What is the cause of this disease?

00:22 What is the cause of this disease?

00:24 What is the cause of this disease?

00:26 Okay, Doktora, we often hear about the disease of diabetes, but what is the cause of this disease?

00:32 Well, diabetes is a condition where our blood has a high blood sugar level.

00:42 And because of this, we have a risk to develop several complications.

00:47 First of all, why do we have diabetes?

00:51 This is because our body cannot produce enough insulin

00:57 or because our body has a big barrier to the action of insulin, which we call insulin resistance.

01:04 And this will lead to very high levels of sugar in the blood.

01:09 Okay, Dok, what are the common symptoms of a person experiencing diabetes?

01:17 Well, if our blood sugar level is not high, we will not have any symptoms.

01:24 That is why it is sometimes long to be diagnosed.

01:27 However, if our blood sugar level is high, we will get diarrhea, we will sneeze a lot,

01:34 we will have undue thirst for water, and we feel so tired and weak.

01:40 What are the common risk factors of having diabetes?

01:47 One of the common risk factors is family history.

01:54 So if our parents have diabetes, especially if both parents are diabetic,

02:00 then we have almost a 50% chance to become diabetic.

02:04 If we are overweight, we don't exercise much, we have a sedentary lifestyle.

02:10 If we have prediabetes or gestational diabetes,

02:15 that is the increase of our blood sugar during pregnancy,

02:19 or our lifestyle is not good,

02:26 we eat a lot, we don't exercise, we don't exercise,

02:30 we become sun-heated.

02:34 Plus, our own race, African Americans, Asians,

02:38 we have an increased risk to develop diabetes.

02:42 Dok, how is it effective to treat diabetes?

02:49 What are the usual treatments?

02:53 First, we need to educate our patients about what diabetes is.

03:00 Because it is in their commitment to help themselves.

03:05 That's where it starts.

03:06 Second, we will teach them the right diet,

03:11 the right exercise, every day, as much as possible.

03:16 Regular consultations with their doctor.

03:20 Before we have the symptoms that I mentioned,

03:25 we need to be aware that we might have to consult,

03:30 especially if we have family history.

03:32 And then, we must be compliant with our treatment regimen.

03:38 We need to continue the treatment, not just cut and paste.

03:42 It's like maintenance.

03:44 Well, doctor, this is my personal question.

03:49 Is it possible to avoid diabetes?

03:51 Because you mentioned earlier that it is hereditary,

03:56 it's in our genes.

03:58 Is it possible to avoid it?

04:01 Of course, we can avoid it if we are aware that we have risk factors

04:08 to develop diabetes.

04:10 And if we live a very healthy lifestyle,

04:14 we can consult at that very first hint that we have diabetes.

04:21 That we might develop diabetes.

04:23 Consult and be compliant with your treatment regimen.

04:27 If we do these things, we can actually fight diabetes

04:32 and we can prevent the development of its complications.

04:36 Doctor, if you have a routine exercise,

04:41 how much percentage can you avoid it?

04:44 Our exercise should be effective.

04:51 We have to have at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise every other day,

04:57 at least if not every day.

04:59 It has a big significance because it can help us manage diabetes very well.

05:05 But it's not just exercise.

05:07 We also have to eat properly and drink the right medicine.

05:12 It has a significant significance.

05:14 But all together, they have to work all together.

05:16 It cannot just be exercise alone.

05:19 Doctor, you mentioned earlier that sometimes diabetes has no symptoms.

05:23 So what about cases like this?

05:26 What if they are not treated?

05:27 What complications can this cause?

05:30 And where and who should people with diabetes consult?

05:36 I always tell my patients that the complications of diabetes are from head to toe.

05:43 We can have blisters,

05:46 we can have a heart attack or stroke,

05:49 we can develop kidney failure,

05:52 we can have a risk for amputation

05:55 because there is a decreased blood flow to the legs,

05:59 and there is poor wound healing.

06:02 We can have bruises on our bodies.

06:07 It can be very dry because of the skin of the diabetic patients.

06:11 What else? It can lead to death if not addressed properly.

06:16 Now, I advise that even if it's just in the health center,

06:21 we have primary care providers there.

06:24 And then we can visit internees, family doctors,

06:28 and then to the specialists like endocrinologists and diabetologists.

06:34 So, if you are getting old,

06:36 it's Christmas season, Doctor,

06:38 avoid rice and sugar.

06:41 They should be balanced.

06:42 Fruit cakes!

06:43 Fruit cakes!

06:44 It's really important to take care of ourselves

06:46 and to control our lifestyle.

06:49 Yes, I agree.

06:52 Thank you so much, Doctor, for taking the time for us this morning.

06:56 And for all the information you shared.

06:58 Thank you so much.

07:00 Thank you also for having me.

07:02 That's me.
