Controlling the blood sugar and lipid levels is essential
Diabetes awareness is low in India. Good control of blood sugar and lipid is essential. Controlling diabetes in the initial phase may help prevent or delay diabetes-related complications such as blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, stroke, and lower limb amputation. Improving one's lifestyle like maintaining optimal weight, exercising regularly, and adopting a healthy diet are important to prevent diabetes.

Individuals with diabetes family history or hypertension, smoking habits, excessive alcohol consumption, dyslipidemia, lack of physical activity, stress, and all individuals above the age of 35 should take PRS test.
