The need for reaching out stems from a strong engagement between the patients and physicians. Usually, physicians are one of the first to diagnose diabetes and can play a key role in improving patients' diabetes related literacy.
According to IDF Atlas 8th edition, 72.9 million people have diabetes in India and over 58% people have undiagnosed diabetes.
In his opening address at the symposium, Anil Kumble said: "Diabetes in India is on the rise. I am glad that I have the opportunity to be a part of the Changing Diabetes® mission spearheaded by Novo Nordisk India. To manage diabetes, it is essential that one gets timely diagnosis and early initiation of treatment combined with simple lifestyle modifications. As physicians, I urge you to motivate people to recognize the need to know their risk at the earliest for managing diabetes better."
