People living with diabetes or undiagnosed diabetes, and even with prediabetes were at 2 to 6 times higher risk of severe infections, hospitalization, and death. Realizing the urgent need for diagnosing the undiagnosed, tracking, and treating those who have diabetes, the Research Society for Study of Diabetes in India (RSSDI) launched the Defeat Diabetes Campaign with the objective of reaching 100 million people in 100 days with the message - Test, Track and Treat.

The “One Nation One Day One Million Blood Sugar Tests” campaign was
conducted on 29th September, 2021 (World Heart Day). The campaign was
inaugurated by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Founder Art of Living on 28th
September, 2021 in a virtual ceremony. Pujya Gurudev spoke on the importance of
blood sugar monitoring and a well-balanced life with appropriate diet, exercise,
stress relief, and meditation for managing diabetes.
The RSSDI National President, Dr. Banshi Saboo, reiterated that “the mission of
RSSDI was to reach every village in India and make India, free of diabetes
complications while reducing the burden of diabetes itself.” Dr. Balkrishna
Inamdar, Advisor to Rotary India Medical Projects, and Mr. Shekhar Mehta,
President Rotary International also stressed upon the significance of blood sugar
testing as India was the diabetes capital of the world and remarked that Rotary India
was happy to collaborate with RSSDI for this endeavor.
With luminaries lighting up the screen, the history-creating event towards the world
record to conduct the maximum number of blood sugar tests in a single day across
10,000 sites in India was applauded by all dignitaries, guests of honour, and special
invitees from RSSDI, International Diabetes Federation, Indian Medical Association,
Rotary International, Rotary India, Public Health Foundation of India, C-DOC, Beat
O collaborators and the Defeat Diabetes Task Force and emphasized as the need of
the hour. The increasing burden of diabetes in India and the close association of
diabetes with cardiovascular disease, importantly poor outcomes with diabetes and
COVID-19 infection and increased death, have been recognized as a massive public
health burden. A large proportion of the Indian population, nearly 57%, remained
undiagnosed as per the experts addressing the audience, making it essential to screen
the India population, inherently vulnerable to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Techsyn created a zero error cloud platform to seamlessly collect, organize and manage data across all sites through cloud services. We created a robust solution to automate most of the tasks from organizing the data to sending the results of tests.
