The number of people with diabetes is increasing due to population growth, aging, urbanization, and increasing prevalence of obesity and physical inactivity. Quantifying the prevalence of diabetes and the number of people affected by diabetes, now and in the future, is important to allow rational planning and allocation of resources. Latest reports of World Health Organization (WHO) predicts that, diabetes population will increase by 122% in 2025; in developing countries, the number of patients has increased from 84 million to 228 million people which shows a 170% increase.[1]
All polyuric diseases in Ayurveda are described under “Prameha,” and Madhumeha is one amongst them, equated to type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Apathya Ahara (dietetic incompatibilities) and Apathya Vihara (lifestyle incompatibilities) both are the major risk factors for Madhumeha.[2]
The rising trend of type 2 DM in developing country likes India presumably is due to (i) Changes in health status of demographic structure; (ii) Changes in life style and food habit; (iii) Change in environment (including air, water, habit, occupation etc.,) and soar in variety of stresses following industrialization and urbanization. Indian population is complex in nature involving different sociocultural, geographical, environment, rural-urban, vegetarian-non-vegetarian food habit. The prevalence and incidence with risk group etc., is not yet known. Type 2 diabetes is a largely preventable disease and intensive lifestyle interventions are not only highly effective but cost-effective too.
High incidences of diabetes has been observed at outpatient department level in IPGT and RA, Jamnagar; based on which necessity of a well-planned regional study was sensed; which could provide certain leads towards prevalence, role of life-style and dietary factors in the manifestation of disease. Obtained results and observations may also provide leads for policy makers to take firm decisions in maintaining the health of the region.
