Diabetes in numbers: You're never too young to get the disease

Intake of unhealthy food, not having regular meals and a sedentary lifestyle are taking a toll on today's young professionals.

According to AstraZeneca's Power over Phenotype survey, working professionals aged 30-34 are being impacted by diabetes more than those in the older age groups.

The survey also shows that occurrence of diabetes is more in working females compared to working males and some say there's a lack of corporate wellness programmes covering diabetes management.
