The challenge is increasing burden of diabetes in rural India [47% cases].The problems in rural area may have serious impact because of poor awareness, and poor accessibility to health care facilities. Poorly managed diabetes mellitus causes life-threatening complications like neuropathy (27.8%), foot ulcer (25%), coronary artery disease (21.4%), retinopathy (17.6%), peripheral vascular disease (8.6%), nephropathy (6.9%).
