Question 181

IBPS Clerk 2024• English Language• English Language

**Directions: Read the given passage carefully to answer the following questions.

Each question will have five alternatives as its answer. Choose the correct option as your answer.**

Ravi, a 45-year-old school teacher from the quaint town of Madurai, had always led a disciplined life. He woke up at 5 a.m. every day, enjoyed his morning walk around the serene temple pond, and relished the simplicity of his routine. However, over the past few months, Ravi had started feeling increasingly fatigued and noticed that he was losing weight despite eating the same amount of food. Concerned, he went to consult Dr. Nair, a reputed physician in the area. After a series of tests, Dr. Nair diagnosed Ravi with Type 2 diabetes. This came as a shock to Ravi, as he had no family history of the condition, and had always assumed that diabetes was something that only happened to others. Dr. Nair explained that diabetes was becoming increasingly common in India, and lifestyle choices played a significant role.

"Monitoring your dietary intake and maintaining an active lifestyle are crucial," Dr. Nair said. "Cut down on sugary foods and choose more fiber-rich options. It's also important to be mindful of your carbohydrate intake," she advised him. Ravi was given a glucometer to monitor his blood sugar levels at home. Dr. Nair showed him how to use this handy device and stressed the importance of regular check-ups. "Remember, Ravi," she said, "Managing diabetes is all about making the right choices day by day. You must be diligent, but with discipline, you can lead a healthy life." Determined to manage his condition, Ravi began attending yoga classes, switched to whole grains, and included more vegetables in his diet. He also reduced his intake of sweets and fried foods, which had always been his weakness. Ravi's wife, Lakshmi, supported him by preparing balanced meals and joining him for evening walks. Over time, Ravi began to feel better. His energy levels improved, and he ________ joy in his new routine. Living with diabetes required constant vigilance, but Ravi knew that with each healthy choice he made, he was taking a step toward a better future.
