Abstract	Diabetes has reached epidemic proportions in many developing economies, such as India. According to WHO, the prevalence of diabetes is growing most rapidly in low- and middle-income countries. The rapid socioeconomic change in conjunction with urbanization and industrialization are the major factors for the global increase in the diabetes epidemic, with other associated risk factors such as population growth, unhealthy eating habits, and a sedentary lifestyle also playing an important role. A major cause for concern is that Type 2 diabetes which used to be seen in older adults is increasing being seen in teenagers and younger adults. Also worrying is that more than 50 % of individuals have undiagnosed diabetes due to less developed health systems in India.
