Type 2 Diabetes, previously common only among adults, now affects youth worldwide, with India’s cases particularly alarming. Dr. Bellary, at a Practo Webinar, highlighted the urgent need for global collaboration, early detection, and tailored prevention strategies to combat this growing epidemic.
leading digital healthcare company, Practo, conducted a survey revealing that 70% of diabetic and pre-diabetic patients are eager to improve their lifestyles for better health. However, the study also highlighted a disparity between patients’ intentions and actions, with nearly 40% not regularly consulting their doctors. Despite concerns about lifelong medication usage and potential complications, a significant number of patients were inactive and had not consulted a nutritionist or dietitian. Practo’s digital program, Transform, has successfully helped numerous patients manage diabetes through lifestyle changes.
