A New Year, A Healthier You: 5 Resolutions to Manage Your Diabetes in 2024

As the calendar turns a fresh page and we welcome the start of a new chapter of our lives, it’s great time to introspect the past and set new goals for the future. The beginning of the year does not only signify a date change but also a symbolic opportunity for renewal and commitment to one’s well-being. As we usher into 2024 its time to grab the moment and find the path to set our intentional goals to manage your diabetes this year.

Dr. Prashanth Subramaniam,

Dr. Prashanth Subramaniam, Head of Medical Affairs, South Asia, Korea & Taiwan, Diabetes Care, Abbott, “In 2024, people with diabetes must make a pledge to commit to managing their condition well. Insufficient monitoring limits the available data, making it challenging to make informed decisions based on actionable insights. Therefore, people living with diabetes must promise themselves that they will regularly monitor their glucose levels, make lifestyle modifications, and try their best to stick to goals. There are many new technologies that will help support these goals. For example, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices that are compatible with smartphones can help you stay on top of your glucose management even while on the go.”

Through the new year, one should aim to keep their glucose levels in the specified target range (commonly 70 – 180 mg/dl). This can be easily done with digital health tools alongside CGM devices. When paired together, these technologies can further support people on their management journey through the year. Additionally, it also creates an ecosystem that helps people effortlessly stay connected with their doctors and caregivers. This represents a new chapter in blending glucose monitoring effortlessly into a patient’s daily routine, enabling them to live a fuller, healthier life.

5 resolutions one must commit to in 2024 –

  1. Know your numbers: It is extremely important to keep a consistent check on your blood sugar levels. Real time monitoring can be done through CGM tools like Freestyle libre. Try to stay in that sweet spot of 70 to 180 mg/dl for most of the day, preferably around 17 hours out of the day. By doing this, you can effectively manage your diabetes. That way, you’re the boss of your diabetes, not the other way around.
  2. Prioritize strategic meal planning: It’s important to have a plan in place for what you are going to eat throughout the day. Always try to choose foods that have a lower calorie count. Pick foods that won’t increase your blood sugar levels drastically. It’s advisable to consume small portions of tempting food over a period to fill the cravings.
  3. Keep your body moving: It’s important to prioritize physical activity for maintaining good health, but it’s also crucial to keep it gentle and avoid overexertion. Simple workouts like walking or yoga can be effective. Make sure to wear appropriate clothes and footwear during the holidays to keep your body in check. If you notice any abnormalities on your skin, it’s best to consult a doctor right away to ensure proper care and treatment.
  4. Regulate your sleep cycle We often disrupt our sleeping routine due to bad habits or work. However, getting adequate hours of good-quality sleep is crucial in maintaining good health. It also helps to avoid sleep deprivation, which can negatively impact your hunger or craving levels. Additionally, sleep plays a vital role in supporting metabolism and regulating blood glucose levels, which is essential when managing diabetes.
  5. Stress management: When you are stressed, your body produces stress hormones that boost your blood sugar levels and can cause insulin resistance. Over time, this can raise your blood pressure and increase your chances of developing heart disease. To ease your stress, try engaging in fun activities like listening to music, yoga or dance. Additionally, spending time with loved ones or discussing what you are going through with a professional could ease stress levels.

By setting these achievable goals, people with diabetes can take control of their health and manage their condition more effectively throughout the year. Remember, every small step counts, and with patience and determination, you can achieve your goals and improve your overall health.

Mahindra Susten Achieves ‘Water Positive Certification’ for 100% Operating Portfolio

Mahindra Susten Achieves

Mumbai,12th January 2024: Mahindra Susten, a leading renewable Independent Power Producer (“IPP”) with in-house expertise in engineering, procurement, and construction (“EPC”), is pleased to announce that it has been awarded the prestigious ‘Water Positive Verification’ certificate for its 100% operating portfolio for the assessment year FY23.

The accreditation, granted by esteemed certification authority TUV India (TÜV NORD GROUP), recognizes Susten’s commitment towards planet-positive initiatives and water resource conservation. This recognition comes after a thorough audit of all project locations in five states: Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh. As per TUV India’s evaluation, Susten’s +1.5 GWp of renewable energy portfolio commands a score of 15 (Positive) on the Water Footprint Index implying that water recharged is 15 times over what was consumed.

Speaking about the achievement, Deepak Thakur, MD & CEO, Mahindra Susten, said, “Mahindra Group aims to be Planet Positive by 2040. Mahindra Susten is making steady progress in steering the Group towards this shared goal. While the solar sector is critical for meeting the world’s renewable energy needs, it has traditionally been water-intensive, which goes against sustainability norms. This is primarily attributed to the constant need for cleaning solar modules to minimize soiling loss and mitigate module performance-related impacts. We have taken a major step towards establishing sustainable operations by having a 100% water-positive portfolio.

“Susten’s dedication to sustainability, aligned with our core purpose of ‘re-imagining clean energy, empowering lives,’ serves as a guiding principle in the development of our renewable energy projects. We will actively contribute to a more sustainable and water-positive future. We shall always remain committed to our mission of setting benchmarks for responsible corporate practices and fostering a Planet Positive future,” he added.

The “Water Positive Verification” certificate signifies Susten’s holistic approach to environmental stewardship and the preservation of this vital resource. While the solar sector is critical for meeting the world’s renewable energy needs, it has traditionally been water-intensive, which goes against sustainability norms. This is primarily attributed to the constant need for cleaning solar modules to minimize soiling loss and mitigate module performance-related impacts.

Undertaking solar projects in water-stressed areas such as Rajasthan presents substantial problems for any developer in terms of securing the needed amount and quality of water.

Recognizing this challenge from the outset, Mahindra Susten initiated a mission to reduce water consumption without compromising the efficiency of solar power plants, thereby addressing the water footprint of the sector.

The company adopted a three-step approach to improve its standing on the Water Footprint Index:

1. Reduction of water consumption: By using high-quality water spray pumps, water piping systems, and innovative module cleaning brushes.

2. Elimination of water for module cleaning: Eliminated water for module cleaning by investing in advanced technology, such as dry-cleaning robots. Currently, 63% of our portfolio uses these robots, resulting in the annual conservation of almost 67 million litres of water—equivalent to fulfilling the basic water needs of 50,000 people throughout the year.

3. Water Conservation: Implemented sustainable practices, including groundwater recharge systems with artificial recharge ponds and rainwater harvesting recharge pits.
