There are 35 million Diabetics In India, the Diabetic Capital of the World! It is growing at an alarming rate and expected to hit 75 million by 2025. By that time and probably much earlier it is going to hit not only the shores, but hinterland too like no other Tsunami, including the recent one that hit the Esastern shores on India.
Scientists trying to be able to predict the other Tsunami; but they cannot prevent! But this Diabetic Tsunami has been predicted with fair degree of certainty; but the saving grace is it is possible to prevent it; if only we make an effort!
The Syndrome X:
The present 'wired generation' of youngsters addicted to the breath taking technologies and wonderful gizmos have a completely new life style. This has made them easy targets to the deceptive "Syndrome X". These youngsters look healthy, in fact a little too well fed and chubby or even obese. A good proportion of them have this additional hidden disease - the "Syndrome X".
The syndrome X youngsters have slightly higher B.P, an altered lipid profile, increased blood coagulability and significant excess weight, mainly around the middle of the trunk. They also have abnormal glucose tolerance, indicating "Prediabetic State"; sometimes they may even have frank diabetes too.
In its earlier stages this syndrome X is completely reversible and occurence of Diabetes can be prevented!
It is for Parents, Doctors, Physicians and also Diabetologists to take immediate proactive measures to prevent Diabetes in their sons and daughters.
If we all act now this Tsunami can be prevented completely!
