Diabetes Complications Nutritional management at Birdem General Hospital Submitted

Abstract

Diseases caused by dietary deficiencies or metabolic diseases are the primary focus of clinical nutrition, which is a subfield of nutrition science. Also included in the realm of dietary conditions are medical facilities such as hospitals and other health care facilities that provide nutrition or nutrition therapy to patients with a broad variety of medical ailments, as well as nutritional conditions for the patients and their loved ones. Poor eating habits, or the failure to form and maintain healthy eating patterns over time, have been linked to a wide range of current health problems. Reason number one why so many people suffer from diseases like diabetes, obesity, and kidney failure. Liver conditions such as cirrhosis, hepatitis, etc. Thus, it is possible to prevent such diseases by choosing healthy foods. Diabetes mellitus is a group of diseases that prevent the body from responding normally to glucose (blood sugar). Muscle cells get most of their energy from the glucose in the blood. Essential for staying in excellent health. Similarly, our brains rely on blood flow for sustenance. Food is where it all begins for us. With the help of the pancreatic hormone insulin, glucose may enter cells and be used for energy production. Therefore, there are occasions when the body doesn't create enough insulin or doesn't properly use the insulin it does make. As of Global Health Days 2016, the World Health Organization estimated that 422 million people worldwide had diabetes. More than 80% of diabetes-related deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. The vast majority of those who suffer from diabetes live in low- and middle-income nations.They also found that 8.0% of the population had diabetes. In 2016, diabetes affected 12.8% of the population of Bangladesh, and it was a factor in 3% of all fatalities there. There seems to have been an upward trend in the prevalence of diabetes mellitus among Bangladeshis. The effects of diabetes may manifest in a variety of ways, causing distress for those who suffer from the condition. A person's risk for complications from diabetes increases if they have the disease for a long time or if their blood sugar levels aren't managed properly. Heart disease, kidney failure, nerve damage, vision loss, foot and skin problems, and even mental health issues may all be caused by diabetes. This suggests that these problems may be manageable with the help of medication, diet, exercise, and glucose control. My internship was short and purposeful. Because of its stellar reputation as a pioneer in clinical nutrition and dietetics in Bangladesh, I decided to do my internship at BIRDEM Hospital.
