In 2019, almost every fifth person (aged 45 years and above) in India had diabetes. This serious health problem is now increasing rapidly and more than 5 crore people are affected by it. This information is based on a large -scale national study, Longitudinal aging Study in India (LASI) data, which has been published in The Lancet Global Health. This study was done on about 60,000 adults between 2017 and 2019, which found that men and women have the same rate of diabetes, but in urban areas it has the same dioplasy. Went. The prevalence of diabetes in economically developed states is even more, where about one -third or more people have this problem. The interesting thing is that about 40% of people suffering from diabetes are unaware of their condition, ie they do not even know that they are victims of diabetes. Of the people who know diabetes, about 46% have kept their blood sugar level under control. Apart from this, about 60% of people are able to control their blood pressure, while only 6-7% of people are consuming lipid-loaring drugs to reduce the risk of heart disease. This study also throws light on the fact that the problem of diabetes in India can increase further in future because the country’s population is growing rapidly, and this situation is becoming more serious in the middle age and aged and the crisis is becoming serious. Increasing the necessary steps to deal: People should check their health regularly, especially people above 45 years of age. Diagnosis: It is necessary to start treatment and improve lifestyle when it is aware. Extension of health services: better screening, treatment and care facilities will have to be provided. Management. Equal attention in urban and rural areas: Because the spread of diabetes is more in urban areas, special efforts are necessary here. Effect and Chintaya study indicates that the cases of diabetes in India are not only increasing in number, but still lacks widespread efforts to prevent and control it. Diabetes also increases heart disease, kidney disease and other serious health problems, so the health crisis will increase further if there is no initiative in time.
