Modern medicine has evolved significantly since we discovered diabetes in ancient times, giving us a much better understanding of the chronic disease. However, diabetes remains a major global health issue, even being seen as a ‘silent epidemic’ in some eyes.
According to a study funded by The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), about 11% of India’s population is diabetic, with the second-highest number of people with diabetes in the world. While genetic factors, certain lifestyles and unhealthy diets have all played their part in increasing the risk of diabetes among Indians, we also need to acknowledge the limited access to healthcare and lack of awareness among our citizens.

Diabetes – A Silent Threat
Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how your body turns food into energy. This energy, known as glucose, fuels your body’s cells. When you have diabetes, your body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or can’t effectively use the insulin it produces.
World Diabetes Day hopes to raise awareness about diabetes as a critical global public health issue. We need to educate ourselves and our communities on preventive measures, diagnosis and management of diabetes.
“Diabetes and well-being,” the theme for World Diabetes Day 2024-26, draws light on the daily challenges millions of people with diabetes face in their lives. 63% of people with diabetes say that the fear of developing diabetes-related complications affects their well-being. There are no days off – they must be resilient, organised, and responsible in the choices they make every day for their well-being.
Heart disease, stroke, kidney failure and blindness are all consequences of uncontrolled diabetes that can significantly affect your quality of life and life expectancy. To address this crisis in India, we need to have regular health screenings to detect diabetes early on, make healthcare more accessible and educate the public about its symptoms.
While there’s no cure for diabetes, it can be managed effectively.
Thanks to insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems and smartphone apps, we have more control over our blood sugar levels, making it easier to manage diabetes. However, what’s even easier is to make changes to your lifestyle. Follow a healthy diet, keep yourself active with regular physical activity, and manage your weight to prevent and manage diabetes.

Fluctuations in blood sugar levels also impact the immune system, making people with diabetes more susceptible to infections. While high blood sugar can reduce blood flow and increase inflammation, low blood sugar weakens your body’s ability to fight off infections and contributes to stress.
