Default Lessons from the Diabetic Capital of the World

Lessons from the Diabetic Capital of the World
Central Chronicle has said India is the, “diabetic capital of the world with 50.8 million (7.1%) of its people suffering from diabetes.” Why is diabetes so prevalent in this country and what can the rest of the world learn from this pandemic?

The U.S. government has been quoted as saying that roughly 8% of the U.S. population has developed diabetes. The most current figure for total diabetes cases in the U.S. is around 24 million. This should put into perspective the total number of people who live in India.
