New Delhi [India], August 26: Families often change, without meaning to, how they treat a sibling after a diabetes diagnosis. Familiar foods may disappear from celebrations, portions may become smaller, and everyday gestures of affection can begin to feel different. Cura’s Raksha Bandhan campaign, “Kuch Nahi Badla” (Nothing’s Changed), encourages families to recognise this pattern and consider whether a diagnosis should change how they show up for someone they love.
The scale of diabetes in India makes this conversation especially relevant. According to the ICMR-INDIAB study, published in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology in 2023, India has an estimated 101 million people living with diagnosed diabetes and another 136 million with prediabetes. A separate 2024 global analysis by the NCD Risk Factor Collaboration and published in The Lancet, estimates that as many as 212 million Indians may be living with diabetes, the highest number in any country.
