100 million plus in India now diabetic, up 44% in 4 years: ICMR study

印度医学研究委员会的研究显示，印度现在有1亿多糖尿病患者，4年内增长44%

CHENNAI: India now has more than 101 million people living with diabetes compared to 70 million people in 2019, according to an ICMR study published in the UK medical journal ‘Lancet’. While the numbers are stabilising in some developed states, they are increasing at an alarming rate in many others, “warranting urgent state-specific interventions”, the study notes.

金奈：根据英国医学杂志《柳叶刀》发表的印度医学研究委员会（ICMR）的一项研究，印度现在有超过1.01亿人患有糖尿病，而2019年这个数字仅有7000万。该研究指出，尽管在一些发达国家糖尿病患者的数量开始企稳，但在其他许多国家，这一数字正以惊人的速度增长，“有必要采取针对性的紧急干预措施”。

At least 136 million people, or 15.3% of the population, have prediabetes.

至少有1.36亿人(占印度总人口的15.3%)患上糖尿病前期病症。

The highest prevalence of diabetes was observed in Goa (26.4%), Puducherry (26.3%) and Kerala (25.5%). The national average is 11.4%. The study, however, warns of an explosion of diabetes cases in states with lower prevalence, such as UP, MP, Bihar and Arunachal Pradesh, over the next few years.

糖尿病患病率最高的是果阿邦(26.4%)、普都切里邦(26.3%)和喀拉拉邦(25.5%)。全国平均水平为11.4%。但这份研究警告说，未来几年，目前糖尿病发病率较低的邦，如北方邦、中央邦、比哈尔邦和“阿邦”（注：即我藏南），糖尿病病例也将出现激增。

“In Goa, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Chandigarh there are fewer pre-diabetes cases compared to diabetes cases. In Puducherry and Delhi, they are nearly equal and so we can say the disease is stabilising,” said the study’s first author, Dr Ranjit Mohan Anjana, who is president of the Madras Diabetes Research Foundation. But in states with lower incidence of diabetes, scientists have recorded a greater number of people with pre-diabetes.

“在果阿邦、喀拉拉邦、泰米尔纳德邦和昌迪加尔，糖尿病前期病例较少。该研究的第一作者、马德拉斯糖尿病研究基金会主席兰吉特·莫汉·安贾纳博士说：“普都切里和德里的情况差不多，所以我们可以说这种疾病正在趋于稳定。”但在糖尿病发病率较低的邦，糖尿病前期患者人数更多了。

A pre-diabetic is a person with a higher-than-normal blood sugar level but not high enough to be considered type-2 diabetes. Without lifestyle changes, adults and children with pre-diabetes are at high risk of develo diabetes. Where there is no way to say how pre-diabetics will turn diabetic, doctors say they follow the rule of thirds. “A third of people with pre-diabetes will get diabetes in a few years and another one-third may remain pre-diabetic. The remaining may reverse the condition due to various factors, including a healthy diet, lifestyle, and exercise,” said senior diabetologist Dr V Mohan.

糖尿病前期是指血糖水平高于正常水平，但尚未达到确诊2型糖尿病的程度。如果不改变生活方式，患有糖尿病前期的成人和儿童日后确诊糖尿病的风险很高。因为无法确定糖尿病前期患者如何转变为糖尿病患者，医生们表示可以遵循三分法则。“三分之一的糖尿病前期患者会在几年内患上糖尿病，另外三分之一的人可能会一直处于糖尿病前期。剩下的人可能会因为各种因素痊愈，包括健康的饮食、生活方式和锻炼。”资深糖尿病学家V Mohan博士说。

Education is the key. There is a difference between education and literacy though. So we must educate school going children about health and long term implications. At least a small introduction would have been made. That way as enlightened citizens we would be aware of our actions and maybe control diabetes.

教育是关键。受过教育和普通识字还是有区别的。所以我们必须对在校儿童进行健康和长期影响方面的教育。起码做点介绍。这样，我们能注意我们自己的行为，也许有利于控制糖尿病。

it's surprising to see the statistics provided specially for Sikkim. though Sikkimis are consuming 100% organic foods, yet they are higher diabetic. either data provided is misleading or there is something fishy. we can't neglect the conspiracy behind this among Pharma companies and medical professionals.

看到专门为锡金进行的统计数据，我实在惊讶。虽然锡金人食用100%的有机食品，但他们的糖尿病发病率更高。由此可见，要么数据具有误，要么另有内情。制药公司和医疗人员的阴谋可不容忽视。

apart from physical exertion, the prevalent soft drinks in the market are the chief culprits. the soft drinks contain 6 times more than normal sugar . the drinks like 'charger' etc should be banned.

除了强体力活动，市面上流行的软饮料也同样是罪魁祸首。这种软饮料的含糖量是普通饮料的6倍。“charger”之类的饮料应该被禁止销售。

1. Report makes one fearful, but dont worry. ICMR , WHO and other bodies are hel business houses. Every now and then they increase the base values, making more persons in the net, scaring them, trap into pharma net. Same time, we are equally responsible, our own physical activities have reduced by less than 50%. Remember our parents, who would commute by local transports. That itself was an exercise. Now, YOu get down from your flat, and calmly sit into an AC car. Sit non stop for 8 hou ... Read More

1. 报告使人恐惧，但无需担心。印度医学研究委员会、世卫组织和其他机构都是企业的帮手。他们时不时地提高基准值，把更多人圈入网中，吓唬他们，让他们无法摆脱制药公司的巨网。同时，我们自己也有责任，我们把体育锻炼量降到了不到以前的50%。

Heavy reliance in automation and giving away physical work can be key cause . However Indian population is too high to justify that this number is high in % of rising aging population compared to earlier run,Also covid medicine should also be reviewed for side effects lke this. Maybe Indian medicine like Ayurveda need to step up to make suggestions properly for life changes for people

严重依赖自动化技术、停止体力劳动可能是主要原因。但与早期相比，印度人口太多，无法证明这个数字在不断增长的老龄化人口中所占的比例很高。此外，covid - 19药物是否有这样的副作用，也需要验证一下。也许我们要加强阿育吠陀这样的印度医学，为人们的生活改变提供适当的建议

Diabetes is NOT a disease, they become one when allopathic medicines start. Please see the eye opening video by Vaidyaraj Anil on this subject in youtube. The name of the video is "Diabetes, HBP, Thyroid, Cholesterol are NOT Diseases. They become one, when Allopathic Meds Start."

糖尿病不是一种疾病，开始使用对抗性药物时，糖尿病就成了一种疾病。大家可以再youtube上观看Vaidyaraj Anil关于这个主题的颠覆认知的视频。这个视频的名字是“糖尿病、高血压、甲状腺、胆固醇不是疾病”。但当才是进行对抗疗法时，它们就真的变成了疾病。
