Lancet Study: 4 in 10 diabetics in India dont know they have the disease

A Lancet Global Health study reveals that nearly 40% of Indian diabetics are unaware of their condition, with a 20% prevalence among adults aged 45 and above. Urban areas show double the diabetes rates compared to rural regions. The study emphasizes the urgent need for improved prevention, detection, and management strategies, especially given inadequate rural healthcare infrastructure and medicine shortages.
