India is the diabetic capital of the world

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), India is home to over 36 million diabetic patients, constituting 20 per cent of the world diabetic population.

What is scary about this statistic is the fact that in India you have half of the population malnourished and starving and the other half eating too much junk food and such.

While they are fighting the diseases such as heart disease and diabetes that the rest of the developed world suffer from, they are also fighting infectious diseases such as malaria, dengue, chikungunya, and diarrhoea. Huge balance needed there.

India is now coined the diabetes capital of the world all the while they have an enormous shortage of doctors and nurses and make up a sixth of the world population.
