The city never stops, so do the people. Citizens in Kolkata know how to fight, as they have been doing for centuries. So, when diabetes rates climb, so do the urban citizens.

While once one could say that “I am too young to get diabetes”, it has completely become a myth in this century, as more people in their teens, 20s, and early 30s are being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes than ever before. In India, most people believe that diabetes is something to happen in their later life, so they continue to live recklessly. Time changes, as well as lifestyle.

Bengal foods are not just nourishment; it is soul food that is made of love, celebration, and identity. It is a process of creating several dishes to eat with rice/roti.

Every corner of the city is filled with the smells of spice, sweetness, and nostalgia, which live through every Kolkata citizen. Street food here is not just food, it is culture and emotion, and a source of connection with just a cup of chaa in hand (BANERJI &#38; PAN, 2022).

Yes, while it is true, it can also be controlled with a few changes. Change does not mean that you have to flip your life upside down, but a tiny regular habit can slowly make the change without your awareness. Scientists suggest that small lifestyle changes can lower the chance of developing Type 2 diabetes by 58% compared to individuals who took a placebo (NIH, 2021).

Then, do not ignore them; they can be early signs of diabetes, while diabetes can be managed to prevent it from turning into Type 2 (NIDDK, 2020).
