Diabetes - a serious global threat
It is now well documented that diabetes is increasing globally in epidemic
proportions across all age groups. According to WHO, there is an apparent epidemic
of diabetes which is strongly related to lifestyle and economic change. Over the
next decade the projected number will exceed 200 million. Global prevalence of diabetes
will increase from 4% in 1995 to 5.4% 2025. A 42% increase from 51 to 72 million
in the developed countries and 170% increase from 84 to 228 million, in the developing
countries.
India - the diabetes capital of the world
A similar trend is seen India as well as India leads the world with largest
number of diabetics. The number of people with diabetes in India currently around
40.9 million and is expected to rise to 69.9 million by 2025 unless urgent preventive
steps taken.
Shift in age of onset of diabetes
An increasing early age of onset combined with increasing prevalence of
diabetes is of great concern because if the epidemic shifts to children it could
have serious consequences on the health of the nation.
A chronic disease like diabetes, if not treated properly, can cause serious problems
such as kidney failure, lower limb amputations, blindness, heart disease, strokes
and nerve damage. Proper monitoring with real-time patient data is the key to managing
the condition and preventing life-altering complications that could be the cause
of serious economic burden- individual & global.

living in prison. What is more,

uncontrolled inmate & the
doctor is a helpless warden.
This is one mess that
needs an organized
mass application. ”
