Diabetes Affects One in Five Adults Over 45 in India

Imagine a lot of people in India, especially those over 45, like one in five, have a sickness called diabetes.

This means their bodies have trouble using sugar properly.

The study found more cases in cities than in the countryside.

Many people with diabetes don't even know they have it!

Although some can manage it well, the number of people with diabetes is still expected to grow.

People in richer states seem to have diabetes more often, and as more people get older, there might be even more cases.
