A huge boon for marital prospects.
Yupsters and youngsters among India’s 70 million down-hearted diabetics longing for a life partner can now heave a sigh of relief. Ahmedabad, Gujarat's largest city that is fast turning into a medical tourism hub, boasts of the country’s first marriage bureau dedicated to twenty-somethings suffering from the incurable metabolic disorders.
Award-winning diabetologist Dr Mayur Patel's help centre called 'Make My Life' will be a boon for thousands of youths of marriageable age with high blood sugar levels that trigger excessive urination and persistent thirst.
Indeed, Dr Patel, who is also the chairman of the All-India lnstitute of Diabetes and Research, has launched the novel marriage bureau with the help of well-known matchmaker Sangita Patel to change the mindset of people towards the chronic condition.
According to him, families in India, nicknamed the world’s diabetes capital, are opposed to marriage with a person who has to take multiple injections of insulin, be careful of the diet and lifestyle daily to manage fluctuating sugar levels, and run the risk of developing complications.
“Type 1 diabetic youngsters, especially girls, are severely discriminated against when it comes to marriage. But all the problems faced by them are easily manageable," says Dr Patel, who has been doing a yeoman's service for hapless diabetics for the past 30 years having treated some 250,000 patients.
