Over 80% Newly Diagnosed Diabetic Patients In India Have At Least One Cholesterol Abnormality: India Diabetes Study Reveals


 * Lipid abnormalities were determined basis the mentioned cut-offs recommended by LAI (Lipid Association of India): HDL (High-density lipoprotein) < 40 mg/dL for males HDL<50 mg/dL for females, LDL (Low-density lipoprotein) ?130 mg/dL, total cholesterol ?200 mg/dL, TG (Triglycerides) ?150 m/dL

* The findings of this first-of-its-kind study support the fact that further extension of nationwide cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk identification programs and prevention strategies to reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases are warranted

India Diabetes Study (I.D.S.) revealed that over 55% of newly diagnosed1 Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients in India have low HDL-C (High Density Lipid – Cholesterol) values, indicating that they are at higher risk of developing some form of cardiovascular disease in their lifetime. The study also suggested that 42% of all T2DM patients are at a high risk of hypertension. Mean BMI of the patients was recorded to be 27.2 – classified as overweight as per the Indian Consensus Group guidelines.

The one-of-its-kind nation-wide study supported by Eris Lifesciences and co-authored by 16 doctors between 2020- 2021, was conducted in partnership with over 1900 physicians and had a sample size of 5080 patients with mean age of 48 years, from across 27 states in India. It has been published in the Public Library of Science (PLOS) journal.

Following the recent recommendations from the LAI and QRISK3 score2, the study aimed at investigating the extent of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in newly diagnosed T2DM patients in India. It also highlighted some ways to manage dyslipidaemia – high cholesterol (fats) – in newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetes patients.

Other key findings from this study, with respect to newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus patients include:

92.5% and 83.5% of the total patients are not on any cholesterol lowering and anti-hypertension treatment

Low HDL-C value was the most frequent major risk (55.6%)

82.5% patients appeared to have at least one cholesterol abnormality

37.3% patients were hypertensive and younger than 65 years of age

According to the QRISK3 calculation the obese patients in the current population had 17.1% risk of CVD as compared to 14.8% for those with lower BMI

11.2% patients had Target Organ Damage – a chronic kidney disease in the 3b or higher stage

Dr A. G. Unnikrishnan, CEO and Chief of Endocrinology at Chellaram Diabetes Institute, Pune, and the Principal Investigator of IDS, said, “India Diabetes Study focused on highlighting the cardiovascular risk factors in newly diagnosed diabetes patients across India. While treatment should focus on dietary changes, physical activity and glucose control, additionally addressing cardiovascular risk by strategies like blood pressure control and lipid  management offer a more holistic way of management– as also suggested in the India Diabetes Study.”

Dr R. K. Sahay, Department of Endocrinology, Osmania Medical College, Osmania General Hospital, Hyderabad, President of Endocrinology Society of India and the co-author of the study said, “Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is a significant risk factor in diabetic patients. Along with glucose control, it is important to follow a robust regimen that is inclusive of optimum lipid lowering treatment, in order to reduce CVD risk. Another important finding that emerged from the study is the increased average BMI (Body Mass Index) of Indians. Physical activity and diet control are crucial to managing diabetes effectively. ”

Mr Manish Kapoor, Vice President at Eris Lifesciences said, “Eris has been at the forefront of generating actionable medical evidence through India-centric studies on chronic ailments. On the back of the India Heart Study conducted in the year 2019, the India Diabetes Study marks another step in this direction. This study was designed to understand the CVD risk factors observed in a population of newly-diagnosed T2DM patients in India. We strongly believe that these insights will guide medical experts in the diagnosis and management of type 2 diabetes in India.”

He also mentioned how during one of their shots, there were multiple cameras placed at different angles and Ajay Devgn would check every camera after the shot to ensure it was captured perfectly. 

The other co-star, Rakul Preet Singh who has worked with Ajay Devgn in the past was surprised looking at the other side of the actor. She was amazed at how he was able to multitask between acting and directing while keeping a steady flow of thought. She added, “So Ajay sir would set up the entire shot and then he is in his casual set up…then he would immediately get into his uniform, and then action, and he would shoot, and then say ‘dikhao’. So, I was like how do you compartmentalise? How do you cut in and out?”

Ajay Devgn shared some insights on how he started the preparations for the movie, laid the groundwork during the pandemic and was able to hit the ground as soon as the lockdown ended in December. All the actors on set shared the same enthusiasm and to quote Amitabh Bachchan, he said, “I applaud him and want to congratulate him on how he has performed perfectly in all his tasks and the audience will see the results of this work in Runway 34”.

‘Policy transformations Can Catalyze Public And Private Sector Participation To Support MedTech Companies In India


Deep diving into the role that small and medium enterprises(SMEs) can play in advancing the Indian MedTech industry, Wadhwani Foundation, Cyient, and Xynteo’s Vikaasa  partnership published its latest report titled “Accelerating Innovation and scale-up of SMEs in MedTech”. The report highlights two separate strands of analysis: firstly, understanding the challenges and opportunities; secondly, a proposal for recommendations and the way forward to accelerate the adoption of MedTech innovations in public health.

In September 2021, Wadhwani Foundation, Cyient, and Xynteo’s Vikaasa announced a partnership to support and accelerate the growth of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the healthcare sector. Marking a step in the right direction, the position paper aims to capture SMEs' need for collaborative platforms and policy transformations to enhance the domestic manufacturing of medical devices and reduce import dependence.

Commenting on the report, Samir Sathe, EVP, Wadhwani Advantage said “Wadhwani Foundation is excited to partner with Xynteo’s Vikaasa and Cyient to provide a pathway to create an evolved domestic medical devices industry. With the right support from Government, both at the Central and State level, Healthcare SMEs can leverage the Atmanirbhar campaign to become the leader in the MedTech space by leveraging technology and developing a collaborative mindset.”   

The paper brings to the fore impact of unclear regulations as one of the biggest impediments to the success of the Medtech industry in India as well as identifies critical gaps as articulated by varied stakeholders around regulations and standards, expanding scale, and adoption of innovations and talent development. Interestingly, the study revealed that only 37 types of medical equipment are regulated in India. At the same time, the market remains flooded with low-cost imports with very high trading margins and long credit periods. Impacting the Indian market, thus reducing the competitiveness of Indian medical devices companies and increasing instances of counterfeit.

Krishna Bodanapu, Managing Director & CEO at Cyient, said, “With its skilled workforce, innovative mindset, and real-world experience, India is poised to become a global player in MedTech. SMEs are future growth engines and are large contributors to employment generation. Supporting the SMEs and enabling them with a go-to-market strategy will enhance the nation’s economic prospects. We are proud to be a partner and look forward to enhanced collaboration with multiple stakeholders enabling India to become a MedTech hub for the world.”

Today, Medtech SMEs account for 60-70 percent of the Indian medical device industry, with an estimated 750-800 MedTech SMEs actively operating in this field. To become a $5 Trillion economy by 2024-25, the study highlights the critical roles of the Central and State governments in building a collaborative mindset across the industry. The paper suggests some policy recommendations including a scheme for the creation of medical devices park, production-linked incentives plans for medical technology and diagnostics, a regulatory roadmap for bringing in all medical devices under the ambit of regulation as well as industry-agnostic support measures for small and medium enterprises to support the growth of the medical devices industry.

The paper highlights the need for Indian medical technology companies to generate enough clinical evidence about their products coupled with peer-reviewed journals, in absence of which, hospitals are unlikely to procure the same for use in their facilities. Indian companies need to invest more in the training of their employees – in sales, marketing, demonstrations, clinical support, hardware repairs, software troubleshooting, regulatory pathways, etc. Initiatives like the International Biomedical Skills Consortium help Indian companies enhance the skills of their employees coupled with Government support through the Health Sector Skills Development Council which can help Indian companies enhance the skills of their employees.

Additionally, there is a need to support market access and scale-up in the form of concessions/ preferential uptake for innovative products and solutions of Indian MedTech companies during procurement, promote mandate digitizing hospital infrastructure and systems so that data from public hospitals can be made available to stakeholders and strengthen infrastructure. 

Vipul Kumar, Director, Xynteo’s Vikaasa, said, “As MedTech companies look to the future, they must now fundamentally reimagine their systems, patient journeys, interfaces, and relationships with healthcare providers. This report is a step forward in establishing that with partnerships geared toward speed and efficiency, a systems change approach, and scaling innovations to deliver meaningful changes, the Medtech SMEs can accomplish India's vision of an Atma Nirbhar Bharat.”

To develop the most promising and impactful deployments for the last mile, the industry will have to build new growth models that focus on partnerships between companies, governments, and researchers and transform regulatory paths and policy support to boost the MedTech industry's growth in India.
