In Context<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • India is grappling with a burgeoning diabetes epidemic, with over 212 million individuals affected<\/strong>\u2014a significant share of the global diabetes burden. To address this challenge, the “PPP plus PPP” model<\/strong> was introduced on World Diabetes Day (14th November).\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    “PPP plus PPP” model<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The “PPP plus PPP” model <\/strong>is particularly relevant in addressing this crisis:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Domestic PPPs in Diabetes Management<\/strong>\n
        \n
      • Collaborating with pharmaceutical firms to manufacture affordable recombinant insulin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Engaging private hospitals and NGOs to conduct awareness campaigns and mass screenings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Establishing diabetes clinics in rural and semi-urban areas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • International Collaborations<\/strong>\n
          \n
        • Partnering with organizations like WHO and the International Diabetes Federation to refine care protocols.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Leveraging AI and machine learning for predictive analytics and personalized treatment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Attracting investments for research and large-scale intervention programs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          About Diabetes or Diabetes Mellitus (DM)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Brief:<\/strong>\n
              \n
            • It is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels. This condition arises when the body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or becomes resistant to the insulin it does produce.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Types of Diabetes:\u00a0<\/strong>\n
                \n
              • Type 1 Diabetes: <\/strong>An autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system attacks the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Type 2 Diabetes:<\/strong> The most common type, often associated with lifestyle factors like obesity and sedentary lifestyle. The body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn’t produce enough.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Gestational Diabetes: <\/strong>Develops during pregnancy and usually resolves after childbirth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Symptoms:<\/strong> Frequent urination, Increased thirst, Excessive hunger, Blurred vision and Fatigue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Complications of Diabetes: <\/strong>Heart Disease, Stroke, Kidney Disease, Nerve Damage, Eye Damage (Retinopathy<\/strong>) etc<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Prevalence<\/strong>: Approximately 830 million people worldwide have diabetes, with a significant proportion residing in low- and middle-income countries.\n
                  \n
                • India has a substantial diabetes burden, with around 212 million people affected.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • WHO’s Target: <\/strong>The World Health Organization aims to halt the rise in diabetes and obesity by 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  Insulin and role of Insulin in controlling diabetes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  • Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas<\/strong>, plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels. It acts like a key, unlocking cells to allow glucose (sugar) from the bloodstream to enter<\/strong>. This glucose is then used as energy for the body’s cells.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • In diabetes, either the body doesn’t produce enough insulin (type 1 diabetes)<\/strong> or the body’s cells don’t respond effectively to insulin (type 2 diabetes)<\/strong>. As a result, glucose builds up in the bloodstream, leading to high blood sugar levels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                    Government Initiatives to Combat Diabetes in India<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                      \n
                    • National Program for Prevention and Control of Cancer, Diabetes, Cardiovascular Diseases, and Stroke (NPCDCS): <\/strong>This program focuses on early detection, prevention, and management of these non-communicable diseases, including diabetes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • National Health Mission (NHM): <\/strong>This mission includes components for screening, early diagnosis, and treatment of diabetes. It also promotes healthy lifestyles and preventive measures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Ayushman Bharat – Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY):<\/strong> This health insurance scheme provides financial coverage for various medical treatments, including those related to diabetes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana (PMBJP)<\/strong>: This scheme provides affordable generic medicines, including insulin, to the general public.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • National Diabetes Control Program:<\/strong> This program aims to reduce the burden of diabetes through early detection, treatment, and prevention.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
