(B) Read the following report and write an analytical paragraph based on it: Recent studies have shown a rapid conversion of impaired glucose tolerance to diabetes in the Southern states of India, where the prevalence of diabetes among adults has reached approximately 20% in urban populations and approximately 10% in rural populations. Because of the considerable disparity in the availability and affordability of diabetes care, as well as low awareness of the disease, the glycemic outcome treated patients is far from idea.
Answers
Explanation:
The paragraph focusses on the growing concern of diabetes, its growth and harmful effects on people in India.
India, is undergoing rapid socio-economic development and urbanization, bears a large portion of the global burden of diabetes.
Studies in various parts have shown an escalating prevalence of diabetes not only in urban but also in rural populations.
There is equally elevated incidence of prediabetes. A rapid conversion of impaired glucose tolerance to diabetes in the southern states has also been foud, where the prevalence of diabetes among adults has reached about 20% in urban and around 10% in rural populations.
In diagnosed people, glycemic result is far from optimal, owing to a difference in the affordability of treatment as well as poor understanding of the disease.
Low starting age and improper glycemic regulation increase vascular complications. The economic burden and risks of managing diabetes are also significant.
The Government should launch a national diabetes treatment and prevention system and associated metabolic disorders.
Improving lifestyle is critical for prevention of primary diabetes among people. India needs primary diabetes prevention to curb the growing burden of diabetes
