Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Lancet study: More than 100 million people in India diabetic
Type 2 diabetes, also known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes, is a chronic metabolic disorder that affects how one’s body processes blood sugar (glucose). If you have diabetes, your body either resists the effects of insulin or doesn’t produce enough insulin to maintain normal blood sugar levels, and have a higher risk of heart attack, stroke, blindness, and kidney failure. Now, a new study estimates that around 100 million people in India suffer from diabetes, and another 130 million people live with pre-diabetes, those who have a higher risk of developing diabetes in the near future. Combined, one in every four people in the world’s most populous country has or is soon to have this chronic metabolic disorder. Why so many in India? Is the Indian diet so sugary or fatty? Don’t they exercise at all? Have their lifestyles changed too much?
Read the article and learn about India’s underlying health danger.
