Living with diabetes is a unique challenge for the more than six million Filipinos affected by the condition. Every day, Filipinos living with diabetes are faced with multiple lifestyle considerations such as choices of food, exercise, and medication.
Hence, it is important that during celebrations like Chinese New Year, senior citizens and their caregivers pay more attention to their food intake.In a 2022 study by Giron and De Vega in the ASEAN Endocrine Journal, it is suggested that 20.5 percent of their Filipino senior citizen respondents are living with diabetes. Seniors living with diabetes experience slow and progressive impairment of body functions, which can deteriorate their immunity and lifestyle.
Early symptoms of increased sugar could be absent. Hence, some seniors may experience these early signs such as increased hunger or thirst, frequent urination, fatiguability, and blurred vision and dismiss these as signs of aging, but these could be signs of asymptomatic diabetes.
One benefit of CGM is it helps patients living with diabetes to plan and choose what food they can eat based on their real-time glucose levels. Too much fluctuation in glucose levels can also increase the risk of development of diabetic complications such as blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, etc.
