The most common non-communicable disease affecting India today is Diabetes Mellitus. It is a metabolic disorder, in which an individual has an increased level of blood sugar.
As per research, it currently affects an estimated 143 million people worldwide and the number is growing rapidly.
In India, about 5 percent of the population suffers from diabetes. Diabetes can be regarded as a potential epidemic in India with more than 62 million diabetic individuals currently diagnosed with the disease.
Diabetes Mellitus describes a group of metabolic diseases in which the person has high blood glucose (blood sugar), either because pancreatic hormones production is inadequate, or because the body’s cells do not respond properly to blood glucose hormone or both.
Patients with high blood sugar will typically experience frequent urination, they will become increasingly thirsty and hungry.
