Inadequate level of vitamins associated with diabetic neuropathy


Welcome to another Diaprime episode, everyone. As we all know, diabetes affects 1 in 5 people living in Indian families. But the existence of comorbidities, an insufficient diet, and a lack of healthcare services make managing diabetes even more difficult. This week, we'll talk about the connection between deficiency in vitamin levels in people with diabetes who have been diagnosed with nephropathy as well as the prevalence of periodontal disease in people with diabetes. Our expert will also talk about the updated ADA recommendations for retinopathy. The episode highlights the impact of the Hepatitis C virus infection is increasing the risk of developing insulin resistance, and in our technology section, a brand-new innovation called the Smart Wireless Near-Infrared Light-Emitting Contact Lens for correcting the vision of patients with diabetic retinopathy is highlighted.
