Mumbai, November 14, 2025:- On World Diabetes Day 2025, the theme “Diabetes and Well-being,” with a special focus on “Diabetes and the Workplace,” brings overdue attention to the need for healthier and more supportive work environments. With India now home to one of the world’s largest populations of people living with diabetes, the condition has become a national health emergency — one that is hitting the working population the hardest.
Diabetes affects more than 100 million Indians, and the number continues to climb. Sedentary office routines, long hours, poor sleep, stress, and irregular meals are pushing younger and middle-aged adults into the high-risk zone at alarming rates. Early-onset diabetes is now increasingly common, leading to long-term complications such as heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, nerve damage, and vision loss. Without timely management, diabetes can silently erode an individual’s health, productivity, and overall quality of life. This year’s World Diabetes Day campaign calls on organizations to step up and take responsibility. Regular health screenings, access to nutritious food, flexible work timings, stress-relief programs, and simple changes like promoting short activity breaks can significantly reduce diabetes risk and help employees already living with the condition manage it better.
Dr. Mayur Mehta, Endocrinologist at Apex Group of Hospitals, underlined the need for workplace-driven awareness: “Diabetes management extends far beyond medicines. It’s a balance of daily movement, mental resilience, and mindful nutrition. When workplaces support employees with practical health initiatives, they empower them to lead productive, healthier lives. A positive work culture can prevent complications long before they start.”
To mark World Diabetes Day, Apex Group of Hospitals organized awareness drives, free check-ups, and counseling sessions for employees and the community. Participants received guidance on lifestyle habits, early detection, stress management, and mental health support — all crucial pillars of long-term diabetes care.
