India has acquired the dubious distinction of having the largest number of diabetes patients in the world It has been estimated that the numbers in India would far surpass those in China by 2025 The number of diabetics in China was exshypected to double and reach an estimated 35-million mark by 2025 In contrast India would have 57 million diabetics three times its currently estimated number It has also been found that diabetics are more prone to developing coronary artery disease Women with diabetes are also seen to develop heart disease at an earlier age

India has acquired the dubious distinction of having the largest number of diabetes patients in the world It has been estimated that the numbers in India would far surpass those in China by 2025 The number of diabetics in China was exshypected to double and reach an estimated 35-million mark by 2025 In contrast India would have 57 million diabetics three times its currently estimated number It has also been found that diabetics are more prone to developing coronary artery disease Women with diabetes are also seen to develop heart disease at an earlier age

Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness renal failure and cardiovascular diseases The reason for predisposition of Indians to the disease may be both due to genetic factors as well as central obesity in middle-aged people Studies have shown a three-to-four-fold difference between urban and rural

areas suggesting lifestyle factors Central obesity in urban population is higher In developing countries majority of people with diabetes will be in the age group of 45 to 64 But in developed countries diabetes will affect people who are above 65 years Experts here have stressed the need to start preventive measures For this steps should be taken that encourage physical activity 186 The country which tops in the world in diabetes cases

has 19 million patients of diabetes 187 Cases of blindness renal failure and cardiovascular

diseases in India are the highest in the world 188 To reduce the number of diabetes cases India has neither

the required potential nor any comprehensive plan 189 India is a developed country 190 Cases of diabetes in rural areas of India are lower than

those in urban areas 191 If Kmeans x H means+Mmeans + andNmeans-then
