Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder characterised by elevated blood sugar levels; either due to low insulin production or high insulin resistance ( poor quantity
or quality ).

Diabetes doesn’t have any prominent symptom hence also known as Silent killer. Earlier it was considered as disease of ageing but now a days even younger people are also exposed to this debilitating disease. Cases of Diabetes are rising exponentially over few decades. In 1980 diabetes prevalence was around 5% of world population. It increased to around 9% of world population by 2014. In 2022, prevalence is somewhere around 13% which is expected to rise to 20% by 2045.

 

India, currently, is world capital of Diabetes with around 8.7% ( about 80 million ) people being diagnosed with diabetes. This population size is expected to grow to around 13% ( about 123 million ) by 2040 according to Lancet study.

So it is quite clear that diabetes has become a major public health concern. Rising cases of Diabetes also leads to increase in complications of Diabetes like Heart diseases, Strokes, Nerve degeneration, vision loss, hearing loss, Dementia, kidney damage etc. This will increase health and economic burden of nation as well as our families.

Hence it is very important to address this rising health concern and take necessary steps to prevent us and our loved ones from this.

Diabetes has 2 major causes- Genetics and unhealthy lifestyles. Genetics can’t be changed, but lifestyles can be made healthy and that way risk of diabetes can be reduced to minimum.
