Democracy in Diabetes Care: Acting Upon the Three A’s – Accessibility, Affordability and Awareness

Abstract

Diabetes care is the right of every individual living with diabetes. In this communication, we describe the epidemiology of diabetes in India, draw parallels between democracy and diabetes, and call for the democratization of diabetes care. We highlight the three A’s – Accessibility, Affordability and Awareness—that are essential for democratic diabetes care and share best practices towards this end.
