Diabetes is a chronic condition requiring lifelong management, undetected and uncontrolled, it can result in heart, kidney, eye, and foot complications resulting in unnecessary deaths that can be prevented through a proper treatment approach. India is home to 75 million certified diabetics, and many of them remain untreated for years, and there are 25 million Pre-diabetics who are unaware of their condition. Early screening and identification of pre-diabetes can help people be informed about their health condition and start on a self-management journey to prolong the onset of diabetes. Apollo Sugar was established in 2015 with a vision to help people manage diabetes in the best possible way. It is a collaboration between Apollo Health & Lifestyle (part of Apollo Hospitals Group) and Sanofi, a model recognizing the epidemic scale and complications of non-communicable diseases, specifically diabetes in the country.
