Journal Title: Indian Journal of Research in Pharmacy and Biotechnology - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Diabetes is a chronic condition associated with abnormally high levels of sugar (glucose) in the blood. Insulin produced by the pancreas lowers blood glucose. Absence or insufficient production of insulin causes diabetes. An inactive life, which involves lack of exercise and poor calorie management, is one of the biggest contributors to the dreaded disease of diabetes, today. India is facing an epidemic of diabetes. At present, confirmed diabetes patients in India are 67 million, with another 30 million in prediabetes group. By 2030, India will have the largest number of patients in the world. Diabetes is not only a blood sugar problem, but brings along other complications as well. With a person dying and two cases being identified every ten seconds, diabetes is certainly one of the biggest global challenges. And as per WHO report 2012 if India doesn’t awake from its slumber, by 2025, every fifth diabetic on earth would be an Indian. At present there are around 171 million diabetic people all over the world, and India accounts for more than 40 million who are likely to reach 70 million by 2025. Diabetes doesn’t even spare the young Indians as 11.1 % adult males and 10.8 % adult females are suffering from it. Diabetes eventually result sin many fatal diseases such as stroke and heart attack, and, as per WHO estimates, mortality from diabetes including heart disease, kidney failure and others cost India $210 billion in 2005. It would cost India $ 333.6 billion over the decade.
