Lucknow: "Diabetes and heart disease aren't two distinct problems, but a dual threat to our health that needs a unified approach," warned renowned cardiologist Dr Nakul Sinha at the Cardio Diabetic Conclave in the city. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The one-day workshop, organised by the Helping Hearts Foundation, brought together top heart specialists and diabetologists from across India to address the growing link between diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Under the leadership of Dr Sinha, senior doctors presented complex case studies and discussed modern treatments to prevent this dangerous combination. "Timely awareness and lifestyle discipline can save lives. Our mission is to educate every citizen about simple and effective steps to overcome this double threat," said Jyoti Sinha, secretary of Helping Hearts Foundation, during the public awareness session that kicked off the conclave. She emphasised that bringing discipline in daily routines — diet, physical activity and stress management — can drastically reduce the risk. Doctors from across India, including Dr Tiny Nair (Trivandrum), Dr Srinivas (Hyderabad), Dr Rajiv Agarwal (Meerut), Dr Sushil Gupta (Lucknow Max Hospital) and Dr Aditya Kapoor (PGI Lucknow) shared insights into how diabetes often masks or worsens heart conditions, making early diagnosis and combined care essential. Dr Rishi Shukla (Kanpur) also presented critical cases from his practice. "Managing heart health in diabetics is like walking on a tightrope—you can't ignore one and treat the other," said Dr Sushil Gupta, highlighting the need for integrated medical approaches. Dr Neeraj Bhasin, Dr Bhupendra Tripathi (deputy director, Gate Foundation), and others echoed this sentiment. The event also focused on maintaining physical, mental, and emotional balance for overall wellness. Support from professionals like Dr Anuja Bhargava, Shantanu Sinha, and creative partner Speaking Pictures played a key role in making the conclave impactful and engaging for the public.
