Amdavadis in their 30s to 50s are most vulnerable to diabetes and hypertension due to sedentary lifestyles and stressful lives. OPDs see a surge of over 50% in these cases post-Diwali.

While doctors believe that most elderly and diagnosed diabetes and hypertension patients are aware of their condition and take extra care of their health, those on the borderline or prone to these conditions are often careless.

This neglect, according to doctors, escalates their health conditions, often worsening due to a lack of timely treatment.
