Pros and Cons of Diabetes Reversal
Tag: GS-3 Science and Tech.
In News:
The surge in popularity of diabetes reversal has led to various commercial entities making bold claims. It’s essential to weigh the pros and cons of this trend.
About Diabetes
- Diabetes is a health condition affecting the body’s ability to process blood glucose, also known as blood sugar.
- There are three main types: Type 1, Type 2, and Gestational diabetes.
Type 1 Diabetes
- Also called juvenile diabetes, it occurs when the body doesn’t produce insulin, a hormone crucial for sugar breakdown.
- Typically diagnosed in childhood, there’s no cure.
Type 2 Diabetes
- Characterized by ineffective insulin use or production; it’s strongly linked to obesity and is the most common type.
- Develops in people of any age
Gestational Diabetes
- Develops during pregnancy when sensitivity to insulin decreases.
- Management during pregnancy involves staying active, monitoring foetal growth, adjusting diet, and tracking blood sugar levels.
- Increases the risk of high blood pressure during pregnancy.
What is Diabetes Reversal?
- Diabetes reversal refers to the process of mitigating or eliminating the symptoms and complications of diabetes, ultimately restoring the body’s ability to maintain normal blood sugar levels.
- This can be achieved through various means, including lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, weight management, and sometimes medical interventions.
- It’s important to note that while significant improvements can be made in managing diabetes, complete and permanent reversal may not be achievable in all cases.
Approaches to diabetes reversal
- Adopting a healthy lifestyle, incorporating regular physical activity, and maintaining a balanced diet.
- For individuals with obesity-related diabetes, losing excess weight can have a positive impact on insulin sensitivity and blood sugar levels.
- Emphasizing whole foods, reducing refined sugars and carbohydrates.
- In some cases, medications or medical procedures may be prescribed to assist in diabetes management e.g., Bariatric surgery.
Pros of Diabetes Reversal
- Successful diabetes reversal can lead to better overall health, increased energy levels, and an improved sense of well-being.
- Individuals may experience a decrease in the need for diabetes medications or insulin, leading to fewer potential side effects associated with these drugs.
- Reversing diabetes can help prevent or delay the onset of diabetes-related complications, such as cardiovascular issues, nerve damage, and kidney problems.
- By reducing the need for ongoing medication and healthcare expenses associated with diabetes management, individuals may experience cost savings.
- Achieving diabetes reversal goals can positively influence mental health, reducing stress and anxiety associated with managing a chronic condition.
Cons of Diabetes Reversal
- Diabetes reversal may not be possible for everyone, and success can vary based on individual factors such as the type and duration of diabetes, overall health, and genetic predisposition.
- Maintaining the lifestyle changes necessary for diabetes reversal can be challenging, and there is a risk of relapse if healthy habits are not sustained.
- Rapid changes in blood sugar levels during reversal attempts may pose risks, and it’s essential to manage these changes carefully to avoid hypoglycaemia or other complications.
- Sustaining the lifestyle changes necessary for diabetes reversal requires ongoing commitment to dietary and exercise habits, which may be challenging for some individuals.
- What works for one person may not work for another, and there is a lack of one-size-fits-all solutions in diabetes reversal. Personalized approaches are often needed.
Status of Diabetes in India
- 77 million people above the age of 18 years are suffering from diabetes (type 2) and nearly 25 million are prediabetics (at a higher risk of developing diabetes in near future)
- Thirty-one million Indians became diabetic between 2019-2021
Interventions to Tackle Diabetes in India
- National Programme for Prevention and Control of Cancer, Diabetes, Cardiovascular Diseases, and Stroke (NPCDCS)
- National Health Mission (NHM)
- Ayushman Bharat
- Rastriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram
- National Programme for the Health Care of the Elderly
- National Rural Health Mission

Forest (Conservation) Amendment Act, 2023
Tag: GS-3 Environment
In News:
The Forest (Conservation) Amendment Act, 2023 pertains to the ability to convert forest land for non-forest purposes. The Central and State governments emphasize their right to undertake such conversions.
Background
- After Independence, extensive forest lands were designated as reserved and protected forests.
- However, certain forested areas were excluded, and areas devoid of standing forests were classified as ‘forest’ lands.
- The 1996 Godavarman case led the Supreme Court to suspend nationwide tree felling, applying the Forest Conservation (FC) Act to all lands resembling the dictionary definition of forest.
- In June 2022, the government amended the Forest Conservation Rules to enable developers to establish plantations on non-FC Act applicable land and exchange such plots for compensatory afforestation obligations.
Key Highlights of the act
- The Act broadens the scope of the Van (Sanrakshan Evam Samvardhan) Adhiniyam, 1980 by introducing a Preamble and modifying its name to reflect its potential provisions.
- Initially applicable to notified forest land, the Act now encompasses revenue forest land, lands recorded as forest in government records, and private forest lands.
- Exemptions are proposed for specific purposes, such as habitation connectivity, security-related infrastructure, and public utility projects in Left Wing Extremism Affected Districts, Strategic projects near international borders.
- Provisions for leasing forest land to government companies are extended to facilitate development projects.
- New forestry activities, including frontline staff infrastructure, ecotourism, zoos, and safaris, are incorporated.
- The Act aligns with climate change mitigation by recognizing these areas as contributions to India’s conservation efforts and international commitments like Net Zero Emission by 2070.
- It empowers local communities through government-owned establishments like zoos, safaris, and ecotourism, fostering awareness, wildlife protection, and creating livelihood opportunities.
Apprehensions related to the act
- The objections to the Act’s new Hindi name raised concerns about its non-inclusivity, particularly for the non-Hindi speaking populations in South India and the North-East.
- The proposed exemptions, especially regarding strategic projects near international borders, have sparked worries about potential forest clearances in ecologically sensitive areas like the Himalayan and northeastern regions, impacting biodiversity and triggering extreme weather events.
- The act could erode the rights of indigenous communities residing on India’s borders. Its limited applicability to areas recorded as forests after October 1980 might leave significant portions of forest land and biodiversity hotspots outside the Act’s jurisdiction, making them susceptible to sale, diversion, clearance, and exploitation for non-forestry purposes.
- Additionally, concerns have been raised about the impact on the balance between the Centre and State governments in forest conservation matters, with some states arguing that forest conservation falls under the Concurrent List, potentially affecting the authority of the State governments.
Way forward
- It is essential to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the act and their potential repercussions on forests, biodiversity, and local communities.
- This assessment must encompass ecological, social, and environmental aspects and incorporate input from a wide array of stakeholders, including experts, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), tribal communities, and State governments.
- Continuing meaningful consultations and dialogues with all stakeholders is crucial to grasp their viewpoints and address any concerns they may have.
- This approach will foster transparency, inclusivity, and informed decision-making.

Iceland
Tag: GS-3 Environment
In News:
Recently, Iceland declared a state of emergency following a sequence of strong earthquakes in the southwestern Reykjanes peninsula, which could be indicative of an imminent volcanic eruption
About Iceland
- Iceland is a Nordic Island country located in the North Atlantic Ocean.
- It is known for its stunning landscapes, including glaciers, hot springs, waterfalls, and volcanic activity.
- Iceland is situated at the juncture of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, leading to a high level of geological activity.
- It has numerous geysers, hot springs, and volcanic features.
- The country is also characterized by vast glaciers, fjords, and a rugged coastline.
- Reykjavik is the capital and largest city of Iceland.
- Other significant towns include Akureyri, Hafnarfjörður, and Kópavogur.
- Iceland has a relatively small population, with a focus on cultural homogeneity.
- The majority of the population is of Icelandic descent.
- The official language is Icelandic.
- Iceland is a parliamentary republic with a multi-party system.
- The President of Iceland is the head of state, and the Prime Minister is the head of government.
- Despite its name, Iceland has a relatively mild climate compared to other northern regions.
- Winters can be cold, and summers are cool.
- The country experiences long days during the summer months due to its high latitude.
- Due to its high latitude, Iceland experiences the phenomenon of the midnight sun during summer, where the sun remains visible for most of the night.
- Conversely, during winter, there are extended periods of darkness known as polar nights.
- Iceland is prone to earthquakes due to its location on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a tectonic plate boundary where the North American and Eurasian plates are drifting apart.
- The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a divergent or constructive plate boundary where tectonic plates are moving away from each other.
- In the case of Iceland, the North American plate and the Eurasian plate are moving apart, leading to the formation of new crust.
- This process results in volcanic activity and frequent earthquakes.
- The movement of tectonic plates is not smooth; it involves constant pressure, stress, and occasional release of energy.
- When the stress along the boundaries of these plates becomes too much, it is released in the form of earthquakes.
- In Iceland, the plates are actively moving, causing a higher frequency of seismic activity.
- Iceland is situated on a hot spot, a location where magma from the Earth’s mantle reaches the surface.
- This volcanic activity is a consequence of the tectonic plate movement.
- The combination of volcanic activity and plate boundaries makes the region highly prone to earthquakes.
