Guwahati — The number of young people developing diabetes is rising unexpectedly, and diabetologist Dr. Dinesh Agarwal has highlighted key causes and prevention methods to address the trend. He warns that lifestyle and psychological factors now play a major role in early-onset diabetes and urges families and schools to take preventive steps.
Dr. Agarwal points to growing mental stress among children and adolescents as a primary concern. Intense academic pressure and heavy homework loads are leaving youngsters with little time for unstructured play. Many are also occupied on weekends with additional classes such as music or dance, giving them no time to rest. According to Dr. Agarwal, this sustained stress alters hormone levels in the body in ways that can increase the risk of developing diabetes later on.
Sleep deprivation and an irregular lifestyle are another major factor, he says. Increasingly common habits-going to bed late and eating late-night meals-disrupt the body’s natural circadian rhythm. That disruption can lead to persistent fatigue, difficulty concentrating, raised blood pressure, heart problems and an increased likelihood of diabetes.
To reduce risk, Dr. Agarwal recommends practical lifestyle changes: try to minimize chronic worry and stress; practice daily physical activity or yoga; aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise on five days each week; and maintain a disciplined routine for meals and sleep. He emphasizes that combining mental calm with an active, orderly lifestyle offers the best chance of avoiding complex conditions such as diabetes.
