Indore, Madhya Pradesh: Diabetes has transcended its role as elevated blood sugar, emerging as a multi-organ disease, warned medical experts during an IMA-organized workshop. Nearly 30% of India's population now grapples with the condition or pre-diabetes, with experts attributing the surge to excess body fat, which induces insulin resistance.
The panel emphasized diabetes as a "silent killer," noting that complications often manifest insidiously, with 40% of patients at risk of severe kidney-related issues. The dangers extend to the heart, lungs, eyes, and vessels, with nine out of ten patients ignorant of the disease's severity. Renowned specialists including Dr. Atul Shende, Dr. Sandeep Julka, Dr. Alkesh Jain, and Dr. Rajesh Bharani addressed the gathering, stressing the need for early detection, lifestyle changes, and long-term management. The event concluded with a consensus to intensify public awareness.
