It is a chronic disease and cannot be cured. Our genes contribute a lot towards our susceptibility to suffering from diabetes but so does our lifestyle. Unhealthy food habits coupled with a sedentary routine can increase the odds of suffering from this disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While anyone can get it irrespective of gender, age or social strata, the number of men suffering is high<a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC10252405\/\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/a>. One has to seek immediate medical treatment for this disease as a delay in getting medical help might adversely affect your heart, eyes, blood vessels, nerves and kidneys. There are many early warning signs and symptoms of diabetes in men.

Balancing your meals by putting in enough protein, vitamins and leafy vegetables will improve your bodily health. An even mixture of starch, fruits, vegetables, healthy fats and protein comprises a good, balanced and well-made meal.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoiding excess sugar, like carbonated drinks, fizzy sugary juices, sodas, candies and sweets is the key to keeping your diabetes level low. You can indulge in one or two sugary treats once in a while, however, consuming them in moderation is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/pharmeasy.in\/research\/diabetes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Diabetes: The Silent Killer Sweeping Across India<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"References\"><\/span><strong>References<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Pradeepa R, Shreya L, Anjana RM, Jebarani S, Venkatesan U, Kamal Raj N, Swami OC, Mohan V.
