India is second largest country, which has Diabetes prevalence of over greater than 6 million people. According to Indian Diabetes Risk Survey, Type 2 Diabetes has been increasing by 8% every year in India. “Diabetes is a silent killer if not diagnosed and managed effectively. A lot of them do not get timely diagnosis and some do not get access to diabetes care. The diabetes care generally includes maintaining good glycemic control, eye care and foot care, and in some cases renal care. Since Diabetes affects other organs in the body it is important to have regular health checkups in order to lead a better quality of life,” says Dr K Baraneedharan, Senior Consultant, Diabetologist, Kauvery Hospital Chennai.
Managing diabetes also includes proper diet and exercise such as workouts and yoga. “This year we have introduced yoga and Zumba sessions as part of the one day expo. We believe this expo will benefit people at large,” he adds.
