Diabetes is a growing health concern globally, and especially in India. A Lancet Study published in the year 2023 estimated a staggering number of 10 Crores Indians have diabetes. It is a fact that Type 2 diabetes is the most common condition. Almost 90% diabetics are Type 2 diabetics. There is another alarming data: 2.5 Crores were prediabetics. A prediabetic's conversion to diabetes in five years is almost certain. Another finding suggests that the urban population is more prone to Diabetes than the rural population. One can attribute this alarming data to a sedentary lifestyle, erratic work hours, pollution, and consumption of junk foods.
High Sugar Levels are a result of Insulin resistance combined with the inability of pancreatic Beta cells to produce sufficient insulin to overcome Insulin resistance.
