How big is the pre-diabetic pandemic among the Indian population?
The prevalence of prediabetes in India is often under-estimated. Based on the research studies done in India, among the population that has been tested, the prevalence of prediabetes in India is estimated to be around 15%. Given that almost one in six of Indian adults have prediabetes, no wonder it is considered as an epidemic.
Is prediabetes reversible?
Yes, absolutely. Prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus are lifestyle-related diseases and, therefore, dietary changes, adequate physical activity and a moderate amount of weight loss can prevent and reverse prediabetes. Regular physical activity of 150 minutes of walking is considered adequate. A moderate weight loss of about 6 to 10% can achieve reversal of prediabetes.
