Question

I hear about diabetes everywhere, it seems like everyone knows someone who has it. From a medical perspective, is diabetes considered a very common disease in India, ya globally?

Yes, diabetes is unfortunately very common now, especially Type 2. Just like PCOS, many people are being diagnosed with it. It's a reminder to stay proactive about health, regular check-ups are key.

Meera Sharma · Answer

It's totally understandable to ask, especially with so much health info everywhere. Yes, diabetes, particularly Type 2, has become incredibly common in India and worldwide. So many people are affected, which makes it even more important to be aware and get regular check-ups.

Yes, it is very common, sadly. I know so many parents whose kids have Type 1, and among adults, Type 2 is almost everywhere. It highlights the need for healthier lifestyles for everyone in the family.

I feel like everywhere I go, someone is talking about diabetes. Is it really becoming so widespread? It makes me a bit anxious about my own health. Does anyone else feel like it's almost unavoidable now?

Haan, beta, ab toh yeh bohot aam baat ho gayi hai. Humare zamane mein kam sunte the, par ab toh har ghar mein koi na koi hai jisko sugar ki bimari hai. Bohat dhyan rakhna padta hai khan-paan ka.

Is diabetes common? Dude, it's like a national sport now, almost everyone I know either has it or knows someone who does. It's too common! Probably because we're all too tired to cook healthy. Haha.

Priya Das · Answer

Oh, really? I always thought it was a serious but not super common disease. So it's very widespread? That's quite concerning. Does this mean more and more young people are getting it too?
