Holi, the festival of colours can surely be enjoyed by people with diabetes with mindful eating, good glycaemic control and portion control. Diabetes should be managed with 7 basic colors of Holi. First color is Diet, as almost all cases of prediabetes and many cases of diabetes can be managed with diet therapy alone. The second color is Exercise, ie brisk walk daily for 30-40 minutes or 150 minutes per week. Third color is the oral glucose lowering drugs to control blood glucose and can be used as single drug or combination of two or more drugs. Fourth color is the Insulin, when oral drugs alone fail to control diabetes in people with long duration of diabetes, insulin therapy is used in combination with oral drugs to manage blood glucose of people with Type 2 diabetes. Fifth color is the yoga or any meditation to control stress. 6th color is regular monitoring of blood glucose to keep check on your daily glycemic profile. The most important 7th color is the awareness on the evidence based knowledge to live happy colourful & a healthy life with diabetes. Recorded on 22nd March 2024.
