There is still no awareness among people about this disease. A person above the age of thirty must undergo a diabetes test. On the other hand, Dr. Rajeev Kumar, Head of the Department of Pediatrics in Kejriwal Hospital, says that the cases of pre-diabetes have increased a lot as compared to earlier.
