India is known as the diabetic capital of the world and over 40 million people in India are affected by diabetes. "Diabetes Mellitus" has assumed pandemic proportions and refers to too much sugar in the blood, which in turn can be the cause of serious health problems. In India one out of every five people is a diabetic.

          Uncontrolled diabetes is linked with many other illnesses and their morbidity, including retinopathy, kidney failure, heart disease, stroke, gangrene and neuropathy.
