According to the latest data from the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), India is home toapproximately 89.8 million adults (aged 20–79) living with diabetes — among the highest in the world.
Alarmingly, a significant proportion remain undiagnosed or are not optimally managed.
A national survey published in JAMA Network (2023) revealed that only 59.4% of diagnosed adultsreported taking medication, and just 65.5% of those treated achieved adequate blood glucose control.Moreover, the age of onset is getting younger, and diabetes-related complications are on the rise.In this context, Protinex Diabetes Care seeks to shift the national conversation from reactive care toproactive prevention; from managing symptoms to building smarter daily habits.
