Sugarless life: almost 200 thousand patients with diabetes in St. Petersburg

Diabetes has become a real disaster for St. Petersburg.

According to the city health Committee, there are about 185 thousand patients with diabetes in the city. Moreover, this figure is constantly growing. Just 10 years ago, there were only 120 thousand such patients in the city.

Diabetes is a dangerous and insidious disease.

If you do not follow a diet and do not take special medications, it can lead to serious complications, such as blindness, kidney failure, heart attack, stroke, and amputation of the lower extremities.

Unfortunately, many people do not realize the seriousness of the situation. They do not follow the doctor's recommendations and, as a result, their condition worsens.

There are a number of factors that contribute to the development of diabetes.

These include obesity, unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, and heredity. In recent years, the number of overweight and obese people in St. Petersburg has increased significantly. This is due to the fact that people eat more unhealthy foods, such as fast food and sugary drinks, and move less.

The city health Committee is taking measures to combat diabetes. In particular, a special program has been developed to help patients with diabetes. The program includes preventive measures, early diagnosis, and treatment of the disease.

However, the most important thing is that people themselves take care of their health.

It is necessary to follow a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and avoid overweight and obesity. If you have diabetes, you need to follow the doctor's recommendations and take special medications.

Only joint efforts of doctors and patients can help to overcome this dangerous disease.
