In past few decades, although, we have witnessed an upsurge of innovative techniques and new discoveries in diabetes and endocrinology, outcomes have still failed to improve and the occurrence of the disease is on a rise. In spite of newer guidelines, there exists an unmet need to fill in the huge existent gap between translation of these guidelines for prevention and treatment of diabetes and its potential complications into clinical practice. Though we have enough evidence to form guidelines, translational evidence for conversion of these into practice is far from real. Also, the prevalence of non-adherence and non-compliance to therapy and lifestyle interventions needs due attention given the inability of HCPs to assess and modify the behaviour of the diabetic patients secondary to lack of implementation of mind health strategies.
In the post-COVID world, there is wide recognition of the urgent need to improve the control, reduce complications, and enhance Quality of Life of millions suffering from Diabetes. These persons have been proven to be the most vulnerable, contribute maximally to the health burden and there is call from global health leaders to work towards reducing their vulnerability and enhancing their resilience by improving mind health strategies.
Pre-diabetes and diabetes can be considered as the mother of all NCDS: Scientific advancement informs that diabetes is not just a complex polyendocrine disorder but main determinant of cardiac morbidity & mortality and nephropathy which are driven by the autonomic dysfunction (researched by the emerging field of neurocardiology). Diabetes also overlaps with several other NCDs involving the gastroenteric system, immune system, neoplasia and neuropsychiatric syndromes involving cognition, sleep, mood disturbance like depression, and sexual dysfunction, etc. Diabetes is also associated with variety of biomechanical issues of both musculoskeletal and neurological origin. This calls for a multi-pronged approach to cover the extensive comorbidity
and influence the outcome and QoL, and includes fortification of pharmacotherapy with evidence proven non-pharmacological Mind – Body interventions to comprehensively address the PNIE etiopathogenic mechanisms.
Additionally, the pre-diabetic conditions including obesity, PCOS, gestational diabetes and as per the latest research autonomic
dysfunction provide the window of opportunity for arresting the progression, through judicious application of MBM.
