According to Dr. Honey Evangaline, Consultant Diabetologist at Dr. Mohan’s Diabetes Specialities Centre (DMDSC), modern urban lifestyles are creating the perfect conditions for diabetes to thrive. India, often called the diabetes capital of the world, is witnessing a worrying rise in diabetes cases, particularly among younger adults living in cities. “Advancements in communication, education, health care, and jobs have improved the quality of life. But along with these benefits, city life has also made people more sedentary and practice unhealthier lifestyle practices that can increase the risk of diabetes,” Dr. Honey told Times Now Health.
