In an alarming revelation, recent studies highlight that one in four young adults is grappling with Type 2 Diabetes, shedding light on the profound impact of lifestyle choices on our health. The choices we make today can significantly escalate the risk of this chronic condition, further leading to severe complications that demand our attention.

The journey towards Type 2 Diabetes often begins with seemingly innocuous decisions – a diet rich in processed foods, sedentary habits, and a lack of physical activity. These choices trigger a domino effect, that leads to weight gain and insulin resistance. Fast-paced lives, coupled with excessive screen time and poor sleep patterns, further exacerbate the problem. The consequence they face is a higher susceptibility to Type 2 Diabetes says Dr Shyam Sundar C M, consultant - endocrinology and diabetology, SPARSH Hospital, Bangalore.
