Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) poses a significant public health challenge in India, with projections indicating an increase from 77 million cases in 2019 to 134 million by 2045. This review article examines recent advancements in T2DM management, guided by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and International Diabetes Federation (IDF) guidelines, while also highlighting the contributions of Indian diabetologists. The ICMR has established a comprehensive framework emphasizing early diagnosis, lifestyle modifications, and proactive management of complications tailored to the Indian population’s unique needs. Key recommendations include regular screening of high-risk individuals, a balanced diet rich in fiber and lean proteins, and regular physical activity, including yoga. Pharmacological treatments range from metformin to newer agents like SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists. Continuous monitoring for diabetes-related complications is crucial for reducing morbidity and mortality associated with T2DM.The IDF guidelines adapt to the Indian context by focusing on cost-effective strategies and culturally relevant lifestyle interventions. These guidelines advocate for personalized treatment plans and the integration of technological advancements such as continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to enhance patient engagement. Contributions from Indian diabetologists emphasize culturally appropriate dietary guidelines, the role of yoga in managing diabetes, and community-based approaches that address social determinants of health. Moreover, traditional practices rooted in Ayurveda and holistic approaches continue to play a vital role in diabetes management. This review underscores the importance of combining modern medical practices with traditional methods to provide a comprehensive strategy for T2DM management in India. Future directions include a focus on personalized medicine and digital health technologies, which promise to enhance patient outcomes through tailored interventions.
