As per the latest data from the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), diabetes is seen\u00a0one in every four people under the age of 25 in India.\u00a0<\/strong>The rising trend of diabetes in youth is due to the hereditary factors, sedentary lifestyle, lack of exercise and unhealthy dietary habits.<\/p>\n

Type 2 diabetes striking the young\u2014much harder!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Youth-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D) is becoming very common these days. Here are some disturbing facts that highlight why it should not be ignored:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Indian research has shown that T2D is\u00a0more damaging in the young<\/strong>\u00a0compared to older adults.<\/li>\n
  2. The people under the age of 25 with T2D are at\u00a0greater risk of life-threatening complications<\/strong>\u00a0like kidney failure, heart disease compared to people with insulin-dependent diabetes.<\/li>\n
  3. The\u00a0risk of diabetes-related complications is 2-3 times higher in young people<\/strong>\u00a0with type 2 diabetes than type 1 diabetes.<\/li>\n
  4. T2D, which was an \u2018adult-onset\u2019 disease in the past, is now well\u00a0documented in children and adolescents,<\/strong>\u00a0in parallel with the rising trends of obesity in pediatric patients.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The dire need to manage diabetes among youth | Where lies the solution?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    There is irreparable damage caused by youth-onset diabetes. It includes:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. For kids and adolescents, it can impact their day-to-day life, including, their independence, self-esteem, employment, sleep, delay their mental and physical growth and much more.<\/li>\n
    2. For young people, it would mean a loss of productivity hampering their career growth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      And for a developing economy like India, if this lifestyle-related disorder negatively impacts 25% of the youth, immediate action is required.<\/p>\n

      With the help of the latest health technologies, youth-onset diabetes can be managed, prevented and even reversed\u2014not only for one but for many!<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Since diabetes is caused mainly due to \u2018unhealthy lifestyle\u2019 so by making a few positive lifestyle choices things can change in your favour, these include\u2014 reducing high-fat high-calorie foods, increasing physical activity, adequate sleep and other lifestyle modifications under expert guidance.<\/p>\n

      Although, all doctors recommend lifestyle intervention in managing youth-onset diabetes, adhering to this therapy is a major challenge in itself. It is even more difficult to achieve among children and adolescents.<\/p>\n
