Millennium Fellowship Project: Project Thrive
People with well-managed diabetes live long, healthy lives. However, in India, more than half of the diabetic population develops debilitating complications of the disease. More than 100,000 legs are amputated due to diabetes annually in India.
There are two reasons behind this problem. One, due to the prevalence of poverty in India, people don't seek medical help unless it is an emergency, leaving the disease to progress undiagnosed.
Two, patients diagnosed with diabetes are unaware of the potential complications, and how they are prevented through timely medication, diet, and lifestyle modifications.
To tackle this problem, we conducted sessions in outpatient departments and surgery wards. Diabetics were counselled on the debilitating complications of the disease, emphasizing the importance of medication and diet in their prevention.
