India's diabetes-related country profile summary:

• Population: Approximately 1.31 billion individuals with a lower middle income classification.

• Mortality: Diabetes causes significant deaths, with high blood glucose attributing to many fatalities. Males have higher death rates in younger and older age groups, while females show similar or slightly higher proportions.

• Other Causes of Death: Cardiovascular diseases account for 35% of deaths, injuries at least 26%, cancers around 28%, and respiratory diseases at about 20%. Data for communicable diseases and some age groups are unavailable.

• Diabetes Prevalence: The overall prevalence is 7.8%, with key risk factors including overweight (21.4%), obesity, and physical inactivity, affecting women more than men in some categories.

• National Response: India has policies and guidelines for diabetes management, along with tools for referral and registry systems. However, no recent national risk factor survey with blood glucose measurement was conducted.

• Availability of Medicines and Technologies: Basic diabetes medications like insulin, metformin, and sulphonylurea are available in primary care. Essential diagnostics such as blood glucose and HbA1c tests are accessible, though advanced procedures like renal replacement therapy are limited.

• Uncertainty in Data: Mortality estimates have high uncertainty due to lack of national NCD data sources as per WHO 2016 report.
