India has the largest number of diabetics in the world. The world as a whole is also exploding in the occurrence of Type2 diabetes mellitus, which is the inability of the body to use its own insulin.

The low birth weight of Indian babies creates insulin resistance and adiposity in childhood. Apart from genetic and modern day lifestyle factors, the intrauterine environment may also influence the risk of Type2 diabetes mellitus.

Vegetarianism and low milk intakes contribute to low vitamin B12 status in Indians. Many studies indicate that finding novel sources of vitamin B12 acceptable to vegetarians should be a priority now.

Low vitamin B12 levels can affect the brain; increase the risk of stroke and risk of cognitive impairment. The ultimate source of the vitamin in nature is microbes and humans obtain it mainly from non-vegetarian food. While pilot studies are now underway on assessing whether vitamin B12 supplements are effective for children, the researchers say a balanced diet includes green leafy vegetables, milk and milk products and consumption of red meat once a week.

Protein in early childhood and for the pregnant mother is critical. Type2 diabetes requires preventive measures. Once detected, it is difficult to control.
