Father: Look Rashmi, what’s published in the newspaper today!

Mother: What’s in the news by the way?

Father: The news is that in the coming 20 years, India will be having diabetes patients in huge numbers.

Mother: The way, today’s kids eat sweets and related products, it seems that the news is gonna be true.

Father: I suggest you should get yourself tested for diabetes in every alternate month.

Mother: Why just me? Both of us should, we have crossed the age of 40 years.

Son: What are you both talking about?

Father: See here son, what’s published in the newspaper today!

Son: Papa, this is a serious issue. I observe that everyone today is fond of cake, biscuits and sweets and relishes them. They are unaware of the harms.

Mother: Dear, I was suggesting your papa that both of us should get tested in every two-three months.

Son: Yeah, it’s a great idea. You will know your health then. In case the sugar level increases, then you can control it with the diet and prevent diabetes. It is said that prevention is better than cure. It means that prevention is the best method to fight a disease.

Mother: Yes dear, I read in a magazine yesterday only that the sugar needed to our body is fulfilled by our meals itself.

Son: Rightly said. The food you make for us, you should try to minimise the fried and spices as minimum as possible.

Mother: You’re right dear; anyway, it’s getting late. I serve the meal, till then you guys go and wash your hands.

Father: Okay, we’re back in a minute.
