Have you noticed how diabetes is no longer limited to older adults? Across India, an increasing number of people in their 20s and 30s are being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes—a condition once associated mostly with aging. The shift is alarming, and it raises an important question: Why are young adults developing diabetes so early in life?
The truth is, our everyday choices are playing a major role. Traditional, wholesome meals have been replaced by fast, processed foods packed with sugar and unhealthy fats. Physical activity has taken a back seat as many of us spend long hours sitting—at desks, on couches, or in front of screens. Add in constant stress, poor sleep, and hormonal imbalances like PCOS in young girls, and we have a dangerous mix.

Worse, many don’t recognize the early signs. Diabetes often goes undetected in young people until serious symptoms appear, making it harder to manage later on.
The silver lining? It’s not too late. Type 2 diabetes can be delayed—even reversed—with early lifestyle changes. Prioritizing real food, staying active, managing stress, and getting regular check-ups can go a long way.
Now’s the time to step up. Take charge, take action—and protect your future health.
