Diabetes is gaining the status of epidemic in India and approximately 70.2 million individuals are diagnosed with this disease. It is widely considered as a genetic predisposition or lifestyle disorder. It has been revealed in various studies that in India 3 out of 5 people could be suffering from Diabetes.

Therefore, frequent check-ups and screening are key measures to identify the symptoms of disease and preventing it in early stage.

Few reasons behind its exponential growth are:

• Sedentary lifestyle
