A diabetes free India by 2030

Journal Title: Journal of the Indian Medical Association - Year 2018, Vol 116, Issue 8

Abstract

Small steps make a journey, and the earlier we begin, the sooner we will reach our destination. To prevent diabetes in future, we need to ensure that our children are born with a salutogenic phenotype, and are able to live in a salutogenic environment. A comprehensive health promotive movement, coupled with awareness of the dangers of uncontrolled diabetes, and the relative ease of preventing it, will help us achieve our goal of a diabetes-free India.
