Diabetes Mellitus, commonly referred to as just Diabetes is a group a metabolic diseases characterised by high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period. The three common forms of diabetes in India are:
The common symptoms of diabetes include frequent urination and increased hunger and thirst. Left untreated, it can lead to cardiovascular disease, kidney failure, blindness, foot ulcers, coma and stroke. In fact, the life expectancy without treatment is around 8 years.
Indians are especially prone to Type II, and there is an alarming lack of awareness concerning the disease, even among those that have been successfully diagnosed. There are over 2,00,00,000 (2 crore) diabetics in India, and only half of them have been diagnosed. An even greater number is categorised as 'at risk'. With drastic changes in lifestyle and dietary habits in recent years, diabetes has assumed epidemic proportions in India. Once it develops, diabetes can only be managed. There is no known cure.
While the figures seem bleak, there are a number of programmes, both private and public to raise awareness and aid in prevention. A large number of specialised clinics also exist to provide care and help manage the disease. Along with medicines, it is vital to maintain one's health through exercise and consume a suitable and balanced diet. In fact, one of the primary causes for Type II is obesity and this is easily countered before onset by curtailing an unhealthy lifestyle.
