Background: India is one of the world's epicenters of the diabetes pandemic. The increased sensitivity of Indians has resulted in a massive increase in diabetes mellitus prevalence in India. Diabetes mellitus type 2 is significantly more frequent than diabetes mellitus type 1. In India, most of those affected are affluent and educated urbanites rather than uneducated or underprivileged rural dwellers. The change in lifestyle choices, urbanization, and various other factors have led to this.
Conclusion: The mushrooming weight of diabetes is an actual threat in India. The health system has conventionally been designed to cater to acute illness and maternal and child health apprehensions in India. This emphasizes the need for a multi-protracted strategy to minimalize the burden of diabetes and its complications. Main gaps exist in laborers to comprehend the load nationally and globally, specifically in developing nations, due to an absence of accurate data for monitoring and observation.
