Dr. Sunil Gupta explained that diabetes is common in adults over 65 years and often occurs alongside other health issues such as high blood pressure, cholesterol, heart, kidney, or eye problems. Managing diabetes in seniors typically follows a stepwise approach: diet and exercise first, followed by oral medications, and insulin if needed. Blood sugar fluctuations can be dangerous in elderly people, so regular monitoring is essential. If a meal is missed or appetite is low, blood sugar should be checked, and light food, fruits, or milk can be consumed by them. Dr. Gupta emphasized that special care is required for those with comorbid conditions, and newer medications help control blood sugar without increasing the risk of hypoglycemia. Similarly, modern insulin formulations can lower the risk of nocturnal hypoglycemia by up to 30–40%. Foot care in elderly is critical, as poor circulation and nerve damage increase the risk of infections or amputations. Regular foot checks, proper footwear, and avoiding smoking or tobacco are essential. He also noted that Type 1 diabetes, common in children aged 5–15, can occur at any age. Parents should attend training to manage insulin and handle emergencies at home. Regular check-ups and doctor consultations are crucial to prevent complications and maintain overall health in both seniors and children.

Dr. Sunil Gupta highlighted several key aspects of diabetes management, emphasizing the importance of balance, awareness, and regular monitoring. He explained that both glucose and fructose are simple carbohydrates, but glucose has a glycemic index of 100, while fructose is slightly lower. Eating sweets or sugary foods leads to a rapid spike in blood sugar, so it is better to avoid fruit juices and consume whole fruits instead, as their fiber helps reduce the glycemic load and glycemic index. People with controlled diabetes should choose low-sugar fruits such as apple, jamun (black plum), and papaya, while high-sugar fruits like mango, chikoo, pineapple should be taken in limited quantities—around 50 grams or two slices. Including protein and complex carbohydrates in meals helps slow sugar absorption and prevents nighttime low sugar (hypoglycemia). Dr. Gupta further explained that swelling in the body can be due to kidney problems, heart failure, liver disease (such as Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease), or certain diabetes medications; in such cases, both salt and water intake should be limited. He stressed that about 70% of diabetic patients die from heart attacks or brain strokes, making regular heart check-ups is essential even if the ECG appears normal. Because diabetes weakens immunity, infections occur more easily, and wounds heal slowly; hence, maintaining blood sugar control is vital. To prevent hypoglycemia, one should eat something every three to four hours. Finally, he advised that diabetes screening should be done at least once a year—or earlier if symptoms like fatigue, weight loss, or frequent urination appear.

Diabetes care is not just restricted to a person but it is a social challenge, and therefore both families and society must be educated about it. Dr. Sunil Gupta explained the normal blood sugar range, the effects of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, and how diabetes impacts digestion and metabolism. He discussed diabetes in women, obesity, and the “fit-fat” concept, explaining that even people with normal weight can have internal fat called “visceral fat” that increases diabetes and heart attack risk. Dr. Gupta highlighted that lack of sleep, stress, and an undisciplined lifestyle are major contributors to the rise in diabetes. He described discipline, a balanced diet, regular exercise, and an informed society as the key elements to achieving a “Diabetes Complication-Free India.” Dr. Gupta also mentioned that unexplained weight loss in diabetes could indicate thyroid disorders or other underlying conditions. He concluded with a simple yet powerful message: “Eat less, walk more, sleep well, stay stress-free, and help build an educated, healthy society.” Expert- Dr Sunil Gupta   Anchor- Mrs. Shraddha Bharadwaj     Podcast: 25/01/2019    Recorded at: Akashwani Nagpur     Episode: 91

Dr. Sunil Gupta explained that during the summer season, people with diabetes are at higher risk of dehydration, low blood sugar, and infections, making it essential to stay well-hydrated with fluids like water and buttermilk.   Discussing diet, Dr. Gupta recommended moderation in mango and fruit intake, emphasizing that fruit juices should be avoided because they can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar. He also addressed the importance of caution during fasting periods, such as Ramadan or religious fasts, when there is a risk of hypoglycemia (low sugar). In such cases, he stressed that medication adjustments must be made under medical supervision.  For those traveling or unwell, Dr. Gupta suggested following travel and sick-day guidelines—carrying two sets of medicines, a glucometer, and glucose tablets, and never discontinuing medications during illness or vomiting. He warned that dehydration can worsen diabetes control. Concluding his advice, Dr. Gupta reminded that diabetes cannot be completely cured, but with proper lifestyle management, it can be effectively controlled for a healthy, active life.  Expert- Dr Sunil Gupta   Anchor- Mrs. Shraddha Bharadwaj     Podcast: 19/04/2019    Recorded at: Akashwani Nagpur     Episode: 90

Dr. Sunil Gupta explained that the prevalence of diabetes in pregnancy (gestational and pre-gestational) is high and may vary from 5% to 20% in different populations in India. He said that 90% of women may not have any symptoms of diabetes, but others may experience symptoms such as frequent vaginal infections, polyuria (increased urination), polyphagia (increased hunger), polydipsia (increased thirst), unexplained weight loss, and fatigue, etc.  Dr. Gupta said that frequent nighttime urination may be one of the symptoms of diabetes. He clarified the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, especially the causes and presentation in children. Addressing common myths, he emphasized that regular use of prescribed medication does not cause serious side effects. Answering a question on increased urinary frequency, he explained that recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) and autonomic bladder neuropathy are often overlooked complications causing such symptoms.  He highlighted that maintaining proper blood sugar control before and during pregnancy is essential to prevent complications for both the mother and the baby. Dr. Gupta also stressed the importance of timely testing, diet management, exercise, and insulin dose adjustment during pregnancy. Concluding his session, he advised that the entire family should take collective responsibility for supporting the expectant mother, calling it a shared “pregnancy project” to ensure a safe and healthy outcome for both mother and child.  Expert- Dr Sunil Gupta Anchor- Mrs. Shraddha Bharadwaj    Podcast: 22/03/2019   Recorded at: Akashwani Nagpur    Episode: 89 

On the occasion of Women's Day, Dr. Sunil Gupta emphasized the importance of awareness about diabetes in women, especially gestational diabetes during pregnancy. He highlighted that in India, one out of every six women may develop high blood sugar during pregnancy, making glucose testing essential in every trimester.  Dr. Gupta explained that uncontrolled blood sugar during pregnancy can lead to low sugar (hypoglycemia) episodes in newborns at the time of birth. He also emphasized that women with diabetes, if planning for pregnancy, should first achieve proper blood sugar control to ensure a healthy outcome for both mother and child.  Dr. Kavita Gupta discussed the vital role of balanced nutrition and lifestyle in maintaining women's health. She advised that women with diabetes should limit oily, fried foods and fast food, while including vegetables, salads, pulses, paneer, soy, and sprouts in their diet. During pregnancy, the intake of protein and calcium should be increased for proper growth and development. She also recommended drinking adequate water, coconut water (in moderation), and consuming seasonal (as per recommendation) whole fruits during summer to stay hydrated. Addressing the issue of anemia in women, she stressed the importance of iron-rich foods and green vegetables. Her message was clear — “Every woman should maintain balance in her diet, just as she maintains balance in her home and life.”  Expert- Dr Sunil Gupta & Dr. Kavita Gupta  Anchor- Mrs. Shraddha Bharadwaj   Podcast: 08/03/2019  Recorded at: Akashwani Nagpur   Episode: 88 

In this education program through Vividh Bharati (All India Radio), Dr. Sunil Gupta explained in detail that diabetes is a multifactorial disease that can affect multiple organs including the eyes, nerves, liver, kidneys, heart, and even sexual health. He highlighted that non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), sleep disturbances, frozen shoulder, and sexual dysfunction are among the common complications associated with diabetes.  He elaborated that diabetes medications—such as Metformin, Glitazones, and SGLT2 inhibitors—work in different ways: some drugs like sulfonylureas increase insulin secretion, others improve insulin sensitivity, while some help eliminate excess sugar through urine. Dr. Gupta clarified that starting medication does not necessarily mean lifelong dependency; if blood sugar levels remain under good control, the dosage can be reduced under dose monitoring or, in some cases, the medication can be stopped under medical supervision.  Concluding his address, he emphasized that “the true treatment of diabetes is not just controlling blood sugar but taking care of the whole body through a disciplined and healthy lifestyle.”  Expert- Dr Sunil Gupta  Anchor- Mrs. Shraddha Bharadwaj  Podcast: 22/02/2019  Recorded at: Akashwani Nagpur  Episode: 87

Dr. Sunil Gupta explained that Type 2 Diabetes is a multifactorial disorder, influenced by several interconnected factors such as genetics, obesity, physical inactivity, unhealthy diet, and stress. He highlighted that even people who appear lean or fit can develop diabetes due to visceral fat—the hidden fat that accumulates around internal organs and disrupts metabolism. Dr. Gupta elaborated that unexplained weight loss in diabetes often occurs when insulin deficiency causes glucose to be excreted through urine. However, he cautioned that persistent or sudden weight loss may sometimes signal other underlying conditions such as tuberculosis or cancer and should not be ignored. He also discussed sarcopenia—the loss of muscle mass commonly seen in people with diabetes—and emphasized the importance of sufficient protein intake, muscle-building resistance exercise, regular physical activity, and a well-balanced diet in preserving muscle strength and metabolic health. Proper exercise, he noted, improves insulin sensitivity and overall blood sugar control. Concluding his address, Dr. Gupta warned that individuals whose blood sugar levels remain above 180 mg/dL (HbA1c > 7%) for long periods are at higher risk of weight loss and other severe complications. He urged everyone to adopt a proactive lifestyle with mindful eating, exercise, and regular medical check-ups for long-term diabetes management.

In the All India Radio (Vividh Bharati) program, Dr. Sunil Gupta emphasized that effective diabetes management extends beyond medication and relies equally on mental peace, emotional balance, and a positive outlook—what he calls “glycemic happiness.” Stress, anxiety, and depression, he explained, can disrupt blood sugar control and heighten the risk of complications, making emotional well-being a key component of diabetes care. He urged individuals to focus on early detection of prediabetes and to adopt timely lifestyle modifications to delay or even prevent the progression of the disease. Balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, and consistent monitoring, he said, form the foundation of long-term diabetes control. Dr. Gupta also highlighted the worrying trend of diabetes affecting younger age groups, often due to sedentary routines, poor dietary habits, and increasing stress levels. He advised maintaining a positive mindset, staying active, and adhering to regular medical check-ups and prescribed therapy. Awareness and education, he stressed, are vital to empowering individuals to take control of their health. Concluding his message, Dr. Gupta warned that diabetes is a “sweet killer”—a silent condition that can cause serious harm if ignored but can be effectively prevented and managed through awareness, timely intervention, and adopting a disciplined, healthy lifestyle.

Dr. Sunil Gupta began his address by extending warm greetings for Navratri and emphasized the importance of maintaining moderation and dietary discipline during festivals. He explained that “low blood sugar” (hypoglycemia) can be more dangerous in elderly individuals and that diabetes management goals should be personalized according to a person's age and associated health conditions. He elaborated on the concepts of “Thrifty Genotype” and “Thrifty Phenotype,” explaining that both our genetic makeup and poor nutrition during pregnancy contribute to the rising burden of diabetes. Addressing the younger generation, he advised adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular physical activity, and effective stress management to reduce the genetic risk. He stated “Genes are the loaded guns, It's the environment which pulls the trigger.” Responding to audience questions, Dr. Gupta provided simple and practical insights on topics such as hypoglycemia, liver and kidney health, and managing low blood sugar. He concluded by stating that awareness, regular check-ups, and a balanced lifestyle are the most effective keys to keeping diabetes under control.

Dr. Sunil Gupta expressed concern over the growing incidence of diabetes in young Indians, noting that the unique “Indian phenotype” makes the population more prone to central obesity, insulin resistance, and early diabetes compared to Western countries. He explained that while diabetes was earlier common in people in their 50s–60s, it is now increasingly being seen in the 30s and 40s, even among lean or physically active individuals. Contributing factors include high-carb, low-protein diets, sedentary lifestyles, stress, genetic risk, and intrauterine influences on diabetes risk (“sitting is the new smoking” he added). The session further emphasized the need for annual check-ups after age 30–35, awareness of warning signs such as excessive thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and vision changes, he stressed 150–250 minutes of exercise per week. He also explained different types of diabetes in youth—Type 1, Type 2, and LADA—stressing that early diagnosis and management are crucial. Concluding the talk, Dr. Gupta warned that diabetes is a “silent sweet killer” but can be prevented through timely tests, lifestyle changes, and medical supervision.

Diabetologist Dr. Sunil Gupta emphasized that managing diabetes goes far beyond just taking medication. He introduced the concept of “glycemic happiness”—the combination of peace of mind and a positive outlook—as a crucial factor in effective blood sugar control. According to him, stress, anxiety, and depression can significantly disrupt glucose levels and increase the risk of diabetes-related complications. He also highlighted the importance of early detection of prediabetes and timely lifestyle interventions, which can help delay and even prevent the onset of diabetes. By maintaining regular monitoring, following a balanced diet, engaging in consistent physical activity, and nurturing mental well-being, individuals can successfully manage the condition over the long term. Dr. Kavita Gupta addressed women's and family-related concerns. She noted that during festivals and special occasions, completely avoiding sweets is not necessary; instead, making healthier choices and practicing portion control is more practical. She suggested simple ways to make traditional delicacies like modaks more nutritious and provided safe-use tips for sugar-free or artificial sweeteners. Dr. Kavita also emphasized the importance of addressing gestational diabetes and women's mental health during pregnancy, stressing that family support plays a crucial role in both.

At the beginning of the program, Dr. Sunil Gupta explained that the complications of diabetes are of two types: acute complications, such as hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and diabetic ketoacidosis especially in Type 1DM, both of which can cause sudden and immediate danger. Chronic complications develop slowly over time and affect the eyes, kidneys, heart, brain, and nerves. Hypoglycemia occurs when blood sugar falls below 70 mg/dl, and the main causes could be drug-induced, like insulin or sulfonylurea group of drugs, skipping of the meal, excessive exercise, vomiting or diarrhea, and due to use of drugs like painkillers (analgesics) or a few antibiotics along with glucose-lowering drugs. However, the risk of hypoglycemia has become lower with the use of newer medications compared to older ones. In response to audience questions, it was emphasized that the decision to stop or reduce medication should always be made under the supervision of a doctor. People with prediabetes (HbA1c 5.7–6.4%) can often avoid developing diabetes altogether through timely lifestyle changes. If diabetes runs in the family, the risk of children developing it at an early age is significantly higher. The importance of an annual health check-up covering the eyes, heart, kidneys, and feet was stressed, described as the “greatest gift” a person with diabetes can give themselves is of “Good Health.” When anemia coexists with diabetes, fatigue and complications tend to worsen, making it essential to identify the underlying cause and provide treatment. In cases of leg pain or neuropathy, vitamin deficiencies, blood vessel health, and side effects of a few medicines like statin should all be carefully evaluated.

Sunil Kumar Gupta served as a jailer at Tihar Jail, one of India's most notorious prisons, from 1981 until his retirement in 2016. Born into a modest background, Gupta left a stable job at the Indian Railways to pursue his dream of becoming a prison officer, joining Tihar Jail as an assistant superintendent. During his tenure, Gupta was involved in numerous high-profile cases, witnessing the execution of several inmates including the notorious Ranga and Billa, and Afzal Guru, involved in the 2001 Indian Parliament attack. His experiences and observations led him to significant contributions in prison reform; he played a key role in drafting the Delhi Prison Act and Manual in 1988, established Tihar's first legal aid cell, and initiated special court sessions within the prison to expedite minor cases. Post-retirement, Gupta transitioned into law, practicing at the Supreme Court of India and the Delhi High Court. His memoir, "Black Warrant: Confessions of a Tihar Jailer," co-authored with journalist Sunetra Choudhury, became the basis for a Netflix series, shedding light on the inner workings of India's prison system. Gupta's career not only highlighted the systemic issues within Indian prisons but also his commitment to reform and humane treatment of inmates.

In this gut-wrenching episode, meet Sunil Gupta, real life Tihar Jailer and Author of ‘Black Warrant: Confessions of a Tihar Jailer.' He shares all his experiences about the brutal and gritty world of the infamous Indian prison that inspired a Netflix series. Sunil describes the goings-on at Tihar Jail, and addresses the rumours of sexual assault and things being smuggled in. Witness to high-profile convicts like Afzal Guru, Manu Sharma, Charles Sobhraj, Maqbool Bhat, he gives an insider's perspective on what these criminals were like. Also witness to all the hangings at Tihar Jail, he reveals surprising facts about these high-profile convicts that highlights their humanity. He talks about reforming the prison system by introducing free legal aid for prisoners which went on to become a fundamental right in India. Sunil recounts how Tihar Jail was the first prison to begin video conferencing between the court and prisoners, among many other commendable reforms. When asked about his take on executions, he says he is against ‘faasi' as in his opinion, only the poor are hanged.

The alarming trend shows that every 5th or 6th pregnant woman in India is diagnosed with diabetes, highlighting an urgent need for interventions and enhanced medical treatments. Approximately 24% of adults (Above 18yrs age) in India are affected by dysglycemia (Diabetes & Prediabetes) which, considering the adult population exceeding 90 crores, this indirectly suggests that nearly every 4th & 5th woman of child bearing potential is likely to be having some from of dysglycemia, which itself is a risk factor for Gestational & Pre-gestational diabetes. Uncontrolled diabetes during pregnancy can lead to severe complications, including miscarriage, larger fetal size, and an increased likelihood of the child developing diabetes and obesity in their future life. Notably, the first 6-8 weeks of pregnancy are crucial, as the baby's all organs like brain, heart, lungs GI tracts, limbs etc. get fully formed by this time. Instability in a mother's blood sugar levels during this period can lead to potential organ defects. While infants may appear healthy at birth, they could face health challenges later due to uncontrolled blood glucose of gestation. Recorded on: 27.09.2024 Recorded at: Akashwani Nagpur Anchor : Purva Kulkarni Speaker : Dr. Sunil Gupta

With nearly 40 years of medical experience, I often encounter questions about sugar consumption. My consistent advice is to avoid sweets and focus on managing blood sugar levels, as poor glycemic control can weaken the overall immune system and may trigger infections & other chronic complications. Basal bolus therapy is the best insulin regimen, specially for type 1DM. It involves taking prandial insulin three times daily with meals and administering basal insulin once or twice daily, depending on individual needs. The dose is typically calculated based on body weight and blood glucose readings. Using Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) helps track blood sugar fluctuations. Uncontrolled blood sugar can lead to serious complications affecting various organs, including the eyes, kidneys, heart, brain and nerves. Diabetic neuropathy, often referred to as "dry skin syndrome," can cause significant discomfort and pain, including symptoms like burning feet numbness, tingling, insensitive feet etc. Managing blood sugar is crucial in preventing neuropathy. Deficiencies of vitamins like D3 and B12 may experience symptoms of sensory neuropathy. Medications like pregabalin or gabapentin if prescribed by certified registered practitioner can provide relief for neuropathic pain. Recorded on: 13.09.2024 Recorded at: Akashwani Nagpur Anchor : Purva Kulkarni Speaker : Dr. Sunil Gupta

One should know that type 2 DM is not only caused by beta cell dysfunction of pancreas. There are eight different organs of body involved in the pathophysiology of T2 DM. 1. Beta cells of pancreas, that they don't produce enough insulin. 2. Alpha cells of pancreas produce disproportionately high glucagon as there is poor suppression of glucagon in the post meal phase, causing post prandial hyperglycemia. 3. Liver produces extra glucose causing high fasting blood glucose. 4. Skeletal muscles have poor uptake of glucose, which increases blood glucose. 5. Adipose tissue produces higher fatty acid. 6. Incretin hormone from intestine also show dysregulation (GLPl & GIP) 7. Kidney increase glucose reabsorption from proximal convoluted tubules 8. Brains satiety centers show dysregulation. 9. Thus, while treating a case of T2 DM, we should address all Eight Arms of, So called “Ominous Octet”.

This podcast was being broadcasted live from the venue Hotel of Hello Diabetes Academia 2024 at Ramdaspeth, Nagpur featuring insights from Dr. V. Mohan (Padma Shri), Dr. Shashank Joshi (Padma Shri), Dr. Vijay Vishwanathan, and Dr. Sunil Gupta. Diabetes management is a costly endeavor, and the financial burden increases significantly with complications affecting vital organs like the kidneys, heart, brain, liver, and nerves. These complications can also place a heavy strain on families and may lead to severe outcomes, including death. Therefore, Dr. Vijay Vishwanathan emphasized the importance of focusing on prevention rather than solely addressing complications. This involves both primary prevention to avert the onset of diabetes and secondary prevention to manage complications if diabetes is already present. Dr. V. Mohan highlighted that while medicine contributes only 10% to diabetes management, education and awareness play a crucial role, accounting for 80-90%. Effective management involves adhering to the ABC mantras—HbA1c, Blood Pressure, and Cholesterol—and maintaining discipline through diet, exercise, and lifestyle adjustments. Dr. Shashank Joshi advocated for a healthy lifestyle, including regular physical activity, adequate sleep, and mindful eating, to prevent and manage diabetes. He also points out the importance of addressing asymptomatic complications and managing sugar cravings through consistent lifestyle changes. Dr. Sunil Gupta emphasized upon getting connected to people at large through such education programs. “People who knows the most... Live longest” he added the quote of Prof. Elliott Joslin who is known as the father of Diabetes in the World. Speaker: Dr. V.
