Facts about Diabetes!

In a significant breakthrough that is expected to radically change the line of diabetes treatment, Pune-based diabetologist CS Yajnik and evolutionary ecologist Milind Watve have linked onset of diabetes to high population density, highly competitive social environment, greater rich-poor divide, sedentary life and reducing immune challenges to the body besides diet and lack of exercise.

They have prepared a behavioural therapy and are finalising a treatment protocol, clinical trials of which will commence in Pune within six months.
