It covered the appropriate age groups and regions.The key findings of the survey relate to the burden of diabetes and its primary causes or risk factors which lead to its rise and increasing spread in the country.

The surveys key findings concern the prevalence of diabetes in India and the primary risk factors that contribute to its growth and spread.According to the report, the prevalence of diabetes cases in India almost doubled from 42.6 million cases in 2005 to 85.4 cases in 2019.The report shows that Indias prevalence of diabetes has almost doubled, from 42.6 Million cases in 2005 to 85.4 million cases in 2019.Globally, on the other hand, the prevalence of diabetes increased from 273.4 cases in 2005 to 460 million cases in 2019.Globally, however, diabetes prevalence increased from 273.4 million cases in 2005 to 460 millions cases in 2019.Small wonder then that India has the dubious distinction of becoming the global hub for diabetes cases with prevalence of cases increasing from 15.6 per cent to 18.6 per cent cases in the same interval.It is no surprise that India has been dubbed the "global hub" for diabetes cases, with the prevalence of cases rising from 15.6 to 18.6 percent in the same period.Globally, diabetes accounts for 70.9 million DALYs (Disability-Adjusted Life Years) and 36.7 YLDs (Years Lived with Disability) in 2019.Globally, diabetes is responsible for 70.9 million Disability-Adjusted Living Years (DALYs) and 36.7 Years Lived With Disability (YLDs) in 2019.In India, diabetes accounts for 12.8 million DALYs, 6.7 million YLDs and 0.3 million deaths during the same time-period.India has 12.8 million DALYs (Disability-Adjusted Life Years) and 6.7 million YLDs (Years Lived with Disability).There have also been 0.3 million deaths in the same time period.In terms of risk factors for diabetes, dietary habits related to high intake of junk / fried foods, most common in younger people today, has highest relative risk of 47 per cent.

The highest relative risk for diabetes is 47 percent in those who eat a lot of junk food and fried foods.This is most prevalent among younger people.

The next highest risk factors as elicited by the survey report relate to low physical activity (38 per cent), low intake of fruits and vegetables (28 per cent), and other causes such as stress, pollution, and high consumption of alcohol and carbonated/ sugary drinks.Low physical activity (38%), low fruit and vegetable intake (28%), stress, pollution, high alcohol consumption, and carbonated/ sugary drinks are the next most risk factors.

However, over 56 percent of respondents said they were seeking treatment for diabetes for at least one year.This is a testimony to the inevitable morbidity of this condition.

Diabetes is proven through studies to be associated with a high risk of cardiac arrest and there have been substantial increases in new cases of diabetes during the Covid-19 pandemic due to various reasons.Studies have shown that diabetes is associated with high rates of cardiac arrest.

There has also been an increase in cases of diabetes since the Covid-19 pandemic.In the current situation, diabetes has become a serious health concern since large numbers of patients are already vulnerable to the coronavirus.
