In India there are 62 million people suffering from diabetes and the economic cost of the same is estimated to be 2.1% of the GDP.
This came to light on Monday during the signing of an MoU between the Gujarat government and Novo Nordisk Education Foundation.
The MoU was signed by additional director of medical services, Dr Sunil Avashia, and managing trustee of the foundation,
Melvin Oscar D'Souza.
According to health minister Jay Narayan Vyas, "Juvenile diabetes is a growing concern in the state with medications required at regular intervals. Unfortunately, a large section of society cannot afford these medications and there is a need to attack this disease through a mission mode."
