Although the nation has seen substantial progress in improving the health of mothers and children as well as lowering infectious diseases like HIV, polio, and malaria, NCDs continue to pose a serious threat to public health, with many individuals suffering from undetected illnesses. About 30–40% of individuals with diabetes or hypertension do not receive treatment.

The establishment of global targets for diabetes was initially endorsed by WHO Member States in 2022 as part of proposals to improve and track diabetes responses within national non communicable disease programs.

In order to meet or surpass these global diabetes targets for 2030, WHO/Europe and the International Diabetes Federation Europe have decided to expedite progress:

  • Eighty percent of diabetics have a valid diagnosis.
  • Eighty percent of them have good blood pressure and glycaemia control.
  • Statins are recommended for 60% of diabetics over 40.
  • Access to reasonably priced insulin and blood glucose self-monitoring should be available to all individuals with type 1 diabetes.

This program could be the cornerstone of an all-encompassing, patient-centered strategy to address the rising prevalence of type 2 diabetes in any region by incorporating lifestyle medicine into primary care settings and equipping medical professionals with the required abilities and information.

WHO also highlights the significance of continuous innovation. People utilize diabetic technology to manage their condition; nevertheless, individual needs must be taken into account if people are to live better lives. Not everyone fits into one size. It was discovered that the insulin pump occasionally lacks the aggression necessary to accommodate the entirely typical variations in many people’s insulin need at various times of the month. It is known that commercial pumps’ algorithms must be improved to make them more sensitive to various stages of life & hormonal changes.

This is significant because your blood sugar levels are influenced by numerous things, and the stress these causes produce might impact your ability to take care of yourself.

Lifestyle medicine put forward an overarching 360 degrees and holistic approach that hold forth to the key root causes of most chronic diseases, including lifestyle factors such as diet, physical activity, stress management, sleep, social connectivity, and use of tobacco and alcohol. Through behavioural interventions focused on these six key lifestyle verticals, this evidence-based approach try to find to prevent, manage, and treat chronic diseases like Diabetes Mellitus II, to ultimately improve overall health and well-being.

The lifestyle medicine program incorporated behaviour change techniques that empowered participants to overcome barriers and embrace healthier habits. This personalized approach provided individuals with the gadgets and master plans needed to negotiate the disputes of executing lasting lifestyle modifications.

WHO models like Commune Health Centres are the urgent necessity for NCDs bundle management. Commune health stations serve as the promising connection between community members and the health system. Here, everything takes place in one location, including the availability of insulin pumps, endocrinologist, nurse, and nutritionist visits, HbA1c and eye tests, and even psychological assistance.

Due to distance, older people often depend on others to get checked for illness. So they often miss their follow up visits which indirectly takes a toll on the course of their improvment etc.

If provision of Commune Health Care is followed after mingling primary health care with a wide scope of artificial intelligence, then it would be easier for them to get registered at their nearest centre with maximum facilities available under a single roof.
