Abstract

The guidelines established by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) provide a thorough framework for prevention, early diagnosis, and management.From a public health standpoint, these guidelines are essential for tackling the increasing diabetes epidemic in India, especially considering the diverse demographics and differing levels of healthcare access.The ICMR guidelines highlight the importance of early detection, lifestyle changes, and a comprehensive approach to the care of T2DM.
