The rising cases of diabetes in India have become a major health concern, driven by sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy diets, and genetic predisposition. Increased consumption of processed foods, high sugar intake, and lack of physical activity contribute to insulin resistance and obesity, major risk factors for type 2 diabetes. Stress, irregular sleep patterns, and environmental factors also play a role. Urbanization has led to decreased physical movement, worsening the issue. Preventive measures such as balanced diets, regular exercise, weight management, and routine health check-ups are essential to control this growing epidemic. Early detection and lifestyle modifications can help manage diabetes effectively.
