 Hello friends, I am Dr. Vichar Negam, Internal Medicine and Diabetes Specialist at Manipal Hospital Karadi Pune, an important topic of work from home and diabetes. Nowadays we regularly see patients who have repeated respiratory tract infections, both upper and lower respiratory tract infections. Patients who come with frequent urinary tract infections and sometimes these infections even extending to their kidneys. It has been found that somewhere down the line all these things are attributed to abnormal sugar metabolism. Some patients who are already diabetic suffer from these problems because of their uncontrolled diabetes and those who don't have diabetes either they are pre-diabetic and leading to such infections in them. Most of the time there is no precipitating cause other than their lifestyle of working from home. Working from home has its definite advantages and disadvantages. The most important health related disadvantage is the arrangement in the metabolic parameters like sugars, cholesterol, hypertension. It is very important to understand that these have definite serious effects on the body. We see that there are young people who are losing lives to heart diseases suddenly only because of their abnormal metabolism. Therefore it is of paramount importance that we find out what is the basic reason for these things to happen around us. It is important to note that those who are diabetic should be taking care of their diabetes when they are working from home which involves movement restriction to a very large extent. Those who are not diabetic but have family history of diabetic should be very careful. Those who are otherwise obese they have very high risk of getting into pre-diabetes and such infections and lifestyle related problems in them. Discipline, regular health checkups and a little awareness about improving their lifestyle. These three things can prevent from a lot of problems in them. People who are smokers regularly take alcohol and those who are not into any activity outside their work should be really very careful. It is important to note that the preventive health checkups, diagnostic health checkups and those who have diabetes and other lifestyle diseases doing their regular follow-ups with their doctors can actually prevent these diseases to a large extent and can prevent unusual and emergency conditions. So I would request to get into good health, make discipline in terms of workouts when you are working from home and try and get yourself tested for lifestyle related diseases especially diabetes, cholesterol and blood pressure problems. Thank you so much.
