7.42 crore people suffer from diabetes in India, the proportion increased among people below 40 years of age

India, the world's epicenter of diabetes with 11 percent of the population suffering from diabetes, has seen a 50-fold increase in the proportion of people under the age of 40 in recent years, experts said. Currently, about 7.42 crore people in India suffer from insulin deficiency, which is required to maintain blood sugar levels in the body.

11 percent of India's population is affected by diabetes

Speaking at a health conference held in Mumbai, Hema Venkataram, an endocrinologist of the United Kingdom's National Health Service, said that 11 percent of India's population has suffered from diabetes so far, but now the disease is not limited to the elderly. Between 2002 and 2016, there has been a 50 percent increase in type 2 diabetes among people under the age of 35, he said. Type 2 diabetes is a type of diabetes in which the body does not produce insulin or the body is resistant to insulin.

Diabetes affects 39 percent of India's adults

Another private company involved in lab testing said in the research that 39 percent of India's adults have diabetes and about 40.3 percent are close to diabetes or at risk of diabetes. Hema Venkataram further said that people over the age of 20 have a 50% risk of developing diabetes for the rest of their lives. This risk may increase with increasing age and weight. The risk is higher in men than in women.

Being unaware of one's health can be overwhelming.

Apart from this, patients do not know whether they have diabetes or not, as they are unaware of their health. Hence heart, kidney and liver diseases increase after diabetes. According to a study by the International Diabetes Federation, 7 out of 10 patients are diagnosed with diabetes while being treated for another disease. According to another study, 25 to 30 percent of people under the age of 40 are diagnosed with diabetes after a lab test.

Not only O, scientists also made A blood group a universal donor, blood shortage will come to an end

Image
- Scientists succeed in turning A blood group into a universal donor with the help of enzymes in the gut New delhi date. Thursday, April 8, 2021 The O blood group is no longer the only universal donor in the world. Canadian scientists have also made blood group A a universal donor using a special type of bacterial enzyme. This will result in fewer deaths due to blood shortage in hospitals now and more and more patients ’blood needs can be met. The United States alone requires 16,500 liters of blood per day for emergency surgery, scheduled operations, and routine transfusions. But no blood of any group can be transfused to the patient. Successful transfusion requires that the donor's blood type match the patient's blood type. Scientists have discovered microbes in the human gut that secrete two types of enzymes. With the help of this enzyme, scientists have turned type-A i.e. A blood group into a universal donor. If this process is successful on a large scale, there will be...

Image
New Delhi, May 16, 2021, Wednesday The country seems to be relieved by the declining coronavirus infection but millions of patients admitted to hospitals when the second wave was at its peak are undergoing treatment in hospitals.

According to the information received, he claimed that experimental drugs, plasma therapy or remedivir are all likely to be excluded from the treatment of corona as there is no evidence of effective results. Referring to the removal of plasma therapy from the treatment protocol of corona under the advice of the Indian Council of Medical Research, he said that plasma therapy gives us pre-forward antibodies to someone who has already been infected so that they fight the antibody virus.
