India faces a growing metabolic health crisis with rising diabetes and obesity rates linked to dietary habits. Experts debate the effectiveness of traditional vegetarian diets, with some highlighting their benefits and others pointing to high carbohydrate intake as a driver of insulin resistance.

Calls for policy focus emphasize prevention through public awareness, regulation, and grassroots interventions to support national health and economic development goals.
