India is infamously called the diabetic capital on the world with nearly 42% of patients having type 2 diabetes. Lifestyle disease is on the rise and diabetes is a major public health problem both in high and low income groups. Although sedentary lifestyle and poor food choices are the main reasons for the disease, lack of awareness on the disease is also a major cause for the exorbitant rise in numbers. Poor screening and tracking on the disease among low socio-economic background leading to uncontrolled type 2 diabetes.

Our rural clinic acts as a primary health care centre in monitoring and controlling the disease by providing care and keeping track of the glucose levels by periodically checking our patients’ blood glucose levels using simple portable glucometer which gives a reliable assumptions on the actual values.
