  Diabetes currently affects more than 194 million people
  worldwide and is expected to reach 333 million by 2025,
  with the maximum burdens falling upon developing
  countries. India considered as “Diabetic capital of the
  world”, alone currently counts over 35 million people
  harbouring diabetes[1]. This is estimated to touch 73.5
  million by 2025 as a consequence of longer life expectancy,
  sedentary lifestyle and changing dietary patterns[
