According to data released by the International Diabetes Federation in 2024, an estimated 89 million adults in India have type 2 diabetes. When the body begins to drift toward diabetes, it doesn’t happen overnight.

But these subtle cues, if observed early, can be lifesaving. Recognising them can help take charge before blood sugar spirals out of control.
