About the Course
Diabetes usually affects organs like Brain (stroke), Heart (heart
attack), Leg (gangrene), Kidney (kidney failure), Eye (retinopathy) and
Nerve Damage (neuropathy).
Nearly 44 lakh Indians in their most productive years — aged 20 to 79
years — aren’t aware that they are diabetic, a disease that exposes
them to heart attack, stroke, amputations, nerve damage, blindness and
kidney disease. The latest global figures on diabetes released by the
International Diabetes Federation (IDF) has raised a serious alarm for
India by saying that nearly 52% of Indians aren’t aware that they are
suffering from high blood sugar. India is presently home to 65 million
diabetics, second only to China which is home to 98.4 million diabetics.
Against this scenario, IMA eVarsity offers a schematically designed and
pedagogically-grounded course in Diabetes mellitus by incorporating
features drawn from successful on-campus and distance education.
