Diabesity, a newly emerged term of medical science has taken more than one billion populations into its grip in past decade. Rising at an astounding level, diabesity has reached at an epidemic proportion. India is bracing for massive surge in diabesity with estimating number of sufferers in next 20 years at more than 100 million.
Obesity is linked with diabetes, higher than normal body weight greatly increases the risk of Diabetes. An estimated 80% of Diabetes is related to Obesity. Obesity with increased diabetes is called diabesity.
Medically it is defined as metabolic dysfunction that ranges from mild blood sugar imbalances to full-fledged type 2 diabetes. Obesity is considered a major risk factor for diabetes, as it makes cells less able to use insulin to bring sugar in from the bloodstream. When you are already insulin resistant (diabetic or pre-diabetic) then it can be even harder to lose weight.

More than 50 years after surgery for mental illness fell into disrepute, guidelines have been drawn up for the first time to operate on patients with major depression and obsessive compulsive disorders (OCD).
The World Society for Stereotactic & Functional Neurosurgery last month published guidelines to ensure that surgery is not misused against patients with psychiatric illnesses. The guidelines were published in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry.
Surgery is still the last option for patients with mental illnesses such as depression or OCD. .....
As per the new guidelines, surgery can be done only after clearance from the ethics committee of the hospital where it is to be done. "Prior to this, an independent three-member team of neurosurgeons and psychiatrists is needed to agree that the patient has no other medical option but surgery,"
