Diabetology
According to the National Diabetes Survey Report released in 2019, the prevalence of diabetes in the Indian population is around 12 per cent.
Among these, the highest prevalence is seen in senior citizens within the age group of 70-79 years.
But, younger populations are also prone to developing diabetes because of sedentary lifestyle, poor diet and lack of exercise.
The more common form of diabetes is called Type 2 diabetes, which is caused because of lifestyle reasons such as obesity, high blood pressure and lack of exercise.
In Type 1 diabetes, sometimes called childhood-onset diabetes, the body is not able to produce insulin, so the patient has to take insulin every day.
