India is going to become or has become the world capital for diabetes. A country which has a high value for traditional medicine and the seat for Yoga has suddenly seen itself as the world capital of Diabetes and heart disease.
Most blame it on life style but even a short look back into the lives of Indians in the past the Family values were high and had a joint family.
But today the nuclear family itself is unable to withstand the stress of family and as a result has seen more conflicts within the family.
Very easy to say Im a diabetic but its also sad to see families after families succumbing to the gene of diabetes.
who will end the chain?
There are many reason for high incidences of diabetes in India

Improper guidelines and regulations, violation of regulations with regards to food and drugs can also result in usage of synthetic appetizers and stabilizers which contribute to higher in take of synthetic sugars, which may lead to diabetes. Our markets are flooded with imported goods which have not been regulated or tested by the FDA and are being sold on the streets at half the price as compared to the super markets. This lack of control maybe an internal cause of such disorders in the country.
There are lots of reason for high incidence of diabetes in India but major cause is unhealthy food habit like packed food, western culture and habits adopted by Indian public, lack of exercise, tension,increase in the vehicles..
how does Ayurveda understand the cause of diabetes when most of the reasons that you have mentioned is from standard text book of medicine.

In my trips and time in India I found the sweets impossible to eat, the taste overwhelming. After eating one, I felt I'd experienced a chemical shock that made my body shudder. Any link?
sweets in India have a massive stock of sugar in them. they will be classified as just sweet, mildly sugarry,very sugarry,and extreme sugary.
some sweets are soaked in suagr syrups, any way an average suagr sweet will require about 100 to 200 gms of sugar for a 500 gms of sweet
Physical inactivity, dietary alterations, obesity, stress and stronger genetic factors in Indians are some of the reasons behind high incidence of diabetes in India.
I agree with the most contributions of my colleagues. I think that pollution of air water and soil can be an essential cause of diabetes.
