Public health and social protection of citizens are among the key priorities of the social policy of the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan. To safeguard public health and prevent various diseases, effective measures are consistently being implemented by the state.
One of the most widespread diseases in the world today, posing a significant challenge to global public health, is diabetes mellitus. According to medical experts, the number of people affected by this disease continues to increase each year, making diabetes one of the most serious health concerns worldwide.
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease caused by elevated blood glucose levels and can adversely affect the functioning of vital organs. The condition develops when the body either does not produce enough insulin or cannot use it effectively. Insulin is a hormone that plays a crucial role in allowing glucose to enter the body’s cells and provide them with the energy necessary for normal functioning.
Experts emphasize that Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of the disease among the population. The main risk factors include excess body weight, physical inactivity, unhealthy dietary habits, and genetic predisposition.
According to healthcare professionals, preventing diabetes largely depends on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Regular consumption of fruits and vegetables, limiting the intake of sugary and high-fat foods, and engaging in sports and physical exercise are among the most effective measures for reducing the risk of developing the disease.
Regular physical activity, weight management, and routine blood glucose monitoring can significantly lower the likelihood of developing diabetes.
Experts also stress that improving public health awareness and encouraging greater attention to personal well-being can play a vital role in reducing the prevalence of diabetes. Although diabetes is a serious condition, following medical advice and adopting a healthy lifestyle can help prevent severe complications, preserve health, and improve overall quality of life.
