Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Indians genetically more prone to diabetes?

Indians have higher visceral fat (belly fat), insulin resistance, and lower muscle mass at the same BMI as Western populations. The "thin-fat Indian" phenotype means diabetes can develop even at normal BMI (23+). India has 101 million diabetics.

Can Type 2 diabetes be prevented?

Yes, in most cases. The Indian DPP study showed 42% risk reduction with 150 minutes weekly exercise and 5–7% weight loss. Reducing refined carbs and added sugar, plus daily 30-minute walks are most effective.
