An initiative called 'Diabetes on Wheels' conducted by Kauvery Hospital in Chennai reveals a surge in undiagnosed diabetes cases.
2 in every 10 apparently healthy individuals in Chennai are found to already have diabetes, and 12 out of every 10 individuals, including pre-diabetics, are at high risk.
The study highlights the need for routine screening and lifestyle changes to combat the growing threat of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Factors like lack of awareness, sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy eating habits, and obesity contribute to the diabetes crisis.
