India’s no. 1 Diabetes doctor on diet, prediabetes, fasting, insulin resistance | Rethink India Ep 2

Usually I make 1 minute videos, so I can't go in-depth into diabetes. So this time, I got India's leading diabetes doctor, Dr. Roshani Sanghani, to share her expertise on diabetes. If you ask anyone what causes diabetes, they think it’s because of eating too much sugar. People will reduce how much sugar they add to their chai and stop eating sweets. But that unfortunately doesn’t get rid of diabetes. So what actually works? In episode 2 of Rethink India, Dr Roshani Sanghani, an endocrinologist who lives in Mumbai and works online, helps us understand what diabetes is and why so many Indians have this condition, and how to prevent it from becoming worse. India is the diabetes capital of the world. One fourth of the entire world’s population who have diabetes are Indians. 2.5 Cr Indians have prediabetes. And most people with prediabetes and diabetes don’t even know they have it. It’s time to make India the health capital of the world instead of the diabetes capital of the world!
