What is the seriousness of diabetes in India?<\/b><\/p>\n

Diabetes is a health challenge that slowly is taking form of an epidemic. This is very much true for third world countries like India. We rank at number 2 spot with 74 million patients with diabetes: according to a report for International Diabetic Federation (IDF). China takes the number one spot with 141 million.<\/span><\/p>\n

The report also adds that more than 40 million people in India have impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) which means they are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes.  By 2030, the number of diabetics is expected to reach 100 million. <\/span><\/p>\n

The prevalence of diabetes between the age of 20-79 years in India (IDF 2019 data) is 8.9 %.<\/span><\/p>\n

 This data clearly reflects the impending implosion waiting to happen as long-term effects of diabetes involves multiple organs and treatment cost increases do tend to increase with time.<\/span><\/p>\n

How ready or unprepared is India’s healthcare infrastructure to deal with this challenge?<\/b><\/p>\n

The Diabetes \u201cepidemic\u201d in India has a potential to have long-lasting side effects on a health and economy. In India there are several socioeconomic and political factors that hinder in the management of diabetes. <\/span><\/p>\n

Lack of proper awareness about diabetes as a disease, absence of healthcare infrastructure more so in rural areas. A poor post covid economy, nonadherence to treatment and many local cultural factors are a few of the challenges in diabetes care in India. <\/span><\/p>\n

The high cost incurred at various steps of screening, diagnosis, monitoring, and management hinders effective management of this disease. <\/span><\/p>\n

On another note, the <\/span>diabetes<\/span><\/a> care market in <\/span>India<\/span><\/a> is expected to reach about $60 billion in the next 10 years, from approximately $17 billion in FY2021.<\/span><\/p>\n

What should India do to deal with the diabetes challenge?<\/b><\/p>\n

India should implement strong and effective programs that has ease of accessibility especially so for the rural population.<\/span><\/p>\n

There should be incentives for people who come forward and get tested and subsidised\/ free clinics for the patients as is present with other infectious diseases.<\/span><\/p>\n

Health professional play a pro active role in diagnosis and compliance; they need keep themselves updated and educate patients.<\/span><\/p>\n
