It covered the appropriate age groups and regions.
The key findings of the survey relate to the burden of diabetes and its primary causes or risk factors which lead to its rise and increasing spread in the country.
The survey’s key findings concern the prevalence of diabetes in India and the primary risk factors that contribute to its growth and spread.According to the report, the prevalence of diabetes cases in India almost doubled from 42.6 million cases in 2005 to 85.4 cases in 2019.The report shows that India’s prevalence of diabetes has almost doubled, from 42.6 Million cases in 2005 to 85.4 million cases in 2019.
Globally, on the other hand, the prevalence of diabetes increased from 273.4 cases in 2005 to 460 million cases in 2019.Globally, however, diabetes prevalence increased from 273.4 million cases in 2005 to 460 millions cases in 2019.Small wonder then that India has the dubious distinction of becoming the global hub for diabetes cases with prevalence of cases increasing from 15.6 per cent to 18.6 per cent cases in the same interval.It is no surprise that India has been dubbed the “global hub” for diabetes cases, with the prevalence of cases rising from 15.6 to 18.6 percent in the same period.
Globally, diabetes accounts for 70.9 million DALYs (Disability-Adjusted Life Years) and 36.7 YLDs (Years Lived with Disability) in 2019.Globally, diabetes is responsible for 70.9 million Disability-Adjusted Living Years (DALYs) and 36.7 Years Lived With Disability (YLDs) in 2019.In India, diabetes accounts for 12.8 million DALYs, 6.7 million YLDs and 0.3 million deaths during the same time-period.India has 12.8 million DALYs (Disability-Adjusted Life Years) and 6.7 million YLDs (Years Lived with Disability).There have also been 0.3 million deaths in the same time period.
In terms of risk factors for diabetes, dietary habits related to high intake of junk / fried foods, most common in younger people today, has highest relative risk of 47 per cent.The highest relative risk for diabetes is 47 percent in those who eat a lot of junk food and fried foods.This is most prevalent among younger people.The next highest risk factors as elicited by the survey report relate to low physical activity (38 per cent), low intake of fruits and vegetables (28 per cent), and other causes such as stress, pollution, and high consumption of alcohol and carbonated/ sugary drinks.
Low physical activity (38%), low fruit and vegetable intake (28%), stress, pollution, high alcohol consumption, and carbonated/ sugary drinks are the next most risk factors.
Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces.
Diabetes is a chronic condition that results when insulin production stops or the body can’t use it effectively.Over the time, uncontrolled diabetes leads to serious body’s systems damage, especially the nerves and blood vessels.
Uncontrolled diabetes can cause serious damage to the body’s systems, including the nerves, blood vessels, and brain.There are ample studies conducted by RSSDI (Research Society for the Study of Diabetes in India) which emphatically depict and highlights that diabetes is a major cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, stroke, and lower limb amputation.
RSSDI (Research Society for the Study of Diabetes India) has conducted numerous studies that clearly show and highlight the fact that diabetes is a major reason for blindness, kidney disease, stroke, heart attacks, stroke and lower limb loss.
The survey outlines the prevalence landscape of diabetes in that it accounts for 25 per cent of all NCDs in India at a rate of 2.9 percent.This survey shows that diabetes is a leading cause of death in India, accounting for 25% of all NCDs at a rate of 2.9%.The disease incidence increases significantly in individuals above 35 years of age and affects men more than women.Diabetes incidence is higher in people over 35 years old and more common in men than women.
The report also finds that about 16.8 per cent of the male adult population (15 years) and 14.6 per cent of the female adult population (15 years) on average are estimated to be diabetic.According to the report, 16.8% of male adults (15 years old) and 14.6 percent of females (15 years old) are diagnosed with diabetes.Prevalence of diabetes is highest in southern states including Puducherry, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana and lowest in Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan.

In terms of sufferers seeking treatment for diabetes, the survey presented some important insights in this regard too.The survey also provided important insight into the needs of diabetes sufferers who are seeking treatment.About 7 per cent of the respondents who were suffering from diabetes stated that they were not seeking any treatment at all.About 7 percent of those with diabetes said they didn’t seek any treatment.However, more than 56 per cent of the respondents stated that they are seeking treatment for more than one year, a fact testifying to the indisputable and inevitable morbidity of this disease.
However, over 56 percent of respondents said they were seeking treatment for diabetes for at least one year.This is a testimony to the inevitable morbidity of this condition.
Diabetes is proven through studies to be associated with a high risk of cardiac arrest and there have been substantial increases in new cases of diabetes during the Covid-19 pandemic due to various reasons.Studies have shown that diabetes is associated with high rates of cardiac arrest.
There has also been an increase in cases of diabetes since the Covid-19 pandemic.In the current situation, diabetes has become a serious health concern since large numbers of patients are already vulnerable to the coronavirus.
