leaves people disabled or proves to be fatal disorders,'' says Dr Devi Shetty, Chairman, Narayana Hrudayalaya.

The rapid changing lifestyle -lack of adequate exercise and balanced diet – is an oft-quoted reason. And to justify this, the incidence of the disease has doubled with the launch of junk food and aerated drinks, according to consultant physician Dr Ramana Rao.

At the same time, doctors do not ignore the genetic ingredients. Studies show Indians carry certain genes that increase susceptibility to diabetes and lack genes that provide protection. According to a research by Chennai-based Dr V Mohan, director of the Madras Diabetes Research Foundation, the polymorphism of the PPAR gamma gene Pro12 ala, which protects Europeans from the disorder is missing in Indians, while another polymorphism of the same gene Thr Threonine, which triggers the disease, is present in Indians.

There are other studies that show that low fetal nutrition could also cause the problems. ``Most pregnant women probably did not have a balanced nutrition. This is probably one reason why thin people, both a mother and her child, have diabetes,'' says Dr Mohan.
