Enormous burden of diabetes in India


India has around 60 million diabetics,with nearly 2 million additions every year.             That is why, it is known as diabetes capital of Asia. Changes in lifestyle are the main reasons for the increased incidences of diabetes. Higher intake of fast food, high calorie diet,  trans fat, saturated fat and polished grains, lesser physical activity and higher incidences of obesity are important factors that are contributing to the rise of diabetic population.      
Timely intervention, care and lifestyle modification can prevent diabetes and its related complications like heart disease, stroke, nerve damage, kidney damage and many other serious disorders.
