Uma singelashwa, isifo sikashukela singaholela ekulimaleni kwemizwa, ukunqunywa izitho zomzimba, ubumpumputhe, isifo senhliziyo nokushaywa unhlangothi.

Yize lungekho ikhambi lesifo sikashukela, lesi sifo singalawulwa. I-American Diabetes Association (ADA) incoma ukulinganisa ukudla ngokuzivocavoca kanye nemithi, okuzosiza ukulawula isisindo somzimba nokugcina i-glucose yegazi isendaweni efanele.

Ngokufunda nangokufinyelela kubantu, kunezinhlangano nezinhlelo eziningi ezisebenzayo ukudala izinhlelo nokunikeza izinsiza kubantu abanesifo sikashukela nemindeni yabo.Sibheka izikhungo ezimbili ezihamba phambili emisebenzini emisha kulabo abaphila nohlobo 1 noma uhlobo lwesibili sikashukela.

Isikhungo Sezobuchwepheshe Sikashukela sikaDkt. Mohan

Indodana ka "Father of Diabetology," waseNdiya, uDkt. V. Mohan wayehlale emiselwe ukuba abe yiphayona emkhakheni wesifo sikashukela. Uqale ukusebenza kulo mkhakha njengomfundi owenza iziqu zobudokotela futhi wasiza uyise, uProf. M. Viswanathan ongasekho, ukusungula isikhungo sokuqala esizimele sikashukela eNdiya, esizinze eChennai.
