to many people who have been fighting this disease and was invited to Nashik to
be a coveted speaker of 8th Annual conference of Maharashtra chapter of RSSDI

on how he has been living with the ailment for a few years now. The organizers
believe that Satish Kaushik is a front runner in the Indian film Industry and
his speech motivated a lot of people. As per study by Rssdi.in 6 out of 10 Indians suffer from
diabetes.

critical topics and challenges of the disease and Mr. Kaushik shared space with
them. Workshops were held for the usage of Insulin Pumps & CGMS and also on

questions and advancement of the disease.
Satish Kaushik did not know of this disease
initially. He started showing symptoms and went for a blood test which
diagnosed his sugar levels and ever since he has been on a lifestyle management
spree. Talking about this development Mr. Kaushik quipped, “Yes I was invited
by RSSDI to Nashik for a panel discussion. I really felt that I could add value
to this platform as I have been adjusting to this disease for a while now.
Luckily I don’t have a sweet tooth so that was a huge relief but I have watched
my sugar intake right from the time I got diagnosed, especially my tea and
coffee. I also work out regularly which might be unbelievable to many people
but I hit my treadmill religiously without fail. Given that my job hours are
erratic, I have also made many minor lifestyle changes which keep me going”.
Satish Kaushik also added, “I feel awareness levels
on diabetes has also gone up phenomenally and keeping a regular check is not an
issue these days. People are conscious and we also are blessed with advanced
medical science these days to keep things under check. Luckily I have kept
insulin shots at bay”.
