Why a blog on GD?

I thought of writing something on diet for Gestational Diabetes (GD) when my daughter-in-law had GD last year. Being a vegetarian, she had very little choice when it came to American hospital diet. She was admitted in the hospital on the 26th week of gestation with high GD and for about 3 weeks, I had to manage her diet with proper calculation of carbohydrate, protein and fibre.With proper guidance and wonderful cooperation from her dietitian, we could keep her glucose level under control. She delivered a girl baby on her 29th week, and both mother and daughter are doing great today.

DISHEARTENING DIABETES

DIABETES -- FIGURES ALARM US -- PLEASE READ AND BE CAREFUL

1. This year 9.83 lakh people have died because of Diabetes.
2. In 2030 the Diabetic patients figure will touch 10 crores in India next only to China where it will be 13 crores.
3. As per world data one in seven seconds dies in Diabetes.
4. The total death due to Diabetes in the world this year is around 1.60 crores.
5. One in every five grown ups is under Diabetic problem.
6. Every year the medical expenditure for Diabetes in the world is approximately Rs.23.25 lakh crores!!!!
7. Every year nearly 78000 kids come under the clutches of Diabetes.
8. It is disheartening to know that 4 out 5 diabetic patients are in the age group of 40 to 50.
9. Though it is believed that Diabetes is genetic, the theory is proving to be wrong with modern food habits and working conditions.
10. So unless and until, we change our lifestyle and food habits with a deep consciousness of the ghost of Diabetes, it is very difficult to get over this Psunami.
SO BEWARE  AND BE CAREFUL.
