Research published in 'The Lancet' revealed that in the coming 30 years, the diabetes rate is not going to decrease in any country.
Digital Desk: By 2050, the number of diabetes patients in the world will be more than double. According to a research, by 2050 there will be 130 crore diabetes patients in the world. This number was 52.90 crores in 2021.
Research published in 'The Lancet' revealed that in the coming 30 years, the diabetes rate is not going to decrease in any country. The United Nations (UN) estimates that by 2050, the number of diabetes patients will increase to 980 crores. That means one out of every 7 people will have diabetes.
It was also said in the research that the Covid-19 pandemic spread more in those places than in developed countries, where people do not get adequate treatment and nutrition. In such areas, the death rate of diabetic patients is twice as high as that of non-diabetic people.
Covid-19 infects insulin-producing beta tissue
The Lancet report states that the coronavirus adversely affects the function of the tissues and organs that manage glucose in the body – the pancreas, small intestine, liver and kidney.
It directly infects the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. When beta cells are damaged, the capacity to produce insulin decreases in patients. In such a situation, new diabetes develops even in those who are healthy.
Diabetics are also increasing due to obesity - said in the research
According to research, diabetes patients are also increasing due to obesity. It also said that because the number of patients is increasing, the disease and death rate is also increasing worldwide.
Diabetes patients have increased thirst
When the blood sugar level of patients in diabetes becomes high. Its patients get tired quickly. The reason for this is the lack of energy in their body.
Diabetes patients have frequent urination. This is because when your blood sugar level is high, then the kidney tries to filter more sugar from the blood.
Due to excessive urination, the body needs more water. That's why the thirst of patients increases. In many cases, this leads to water scarcity among the people.
That's why diabetic people are more at risk of infection
In patients with diabetes, the efficiency of the cells of the immune system (lymphocytes, neutrophils) decreases. Because of this, less antibodies are produced in the body. Due to less power to fight the disease, it is not able to destroy the external things (viruses, bacteria) as a result, the risk of death increases.
11 percent of the population in India is vulnerable A research by the Indian
Council of Medical Research revealed that 11% of the population in India i.e. 77 million people are suffering from diabetes. What is more worrying is that more than 15% are pre-diabetic. That means these people may have diabetes in future. If people do not become aware, then more than a quarter of India's population can be diabetic. Pre-diabetes is a condition in which a person's body cannot easily convert glucose into energy.
This increases the level of sugar, but it is not so much that it is called diabetes. However, this condition later turns into a disease.
India ranks second in the population of diabetes patients
According to ICMR, India has the second largest population of diabetes patients in the world. Here every sixth person has this disease. In the last 30 years, the number of diabetes patients in the country has increased by 150%. Every fifth child or adolescent in the world suffering from type-1 diabetes is an Indian. Apart from this, youth are becoming Type-2 diabetes patients at an early age.
It is being seen more in people of 25 to 34 years of age in urban and rural areas.
