Minister of MSME and NRI Affairs Kondapalli Srinivas on Saturday (November 14, 2026) said that thousands of people at an early age are being diagnosed with diabetes due to changes in their food habits and a sedentary lifestyle. Elegance Diabetic Foot and Ulcer Clinic founder and senior plastic surgeon Muddada Sravani, along with other doctors, organised a rally in Vizianagaram on the occasion of World Diabetes Day.
The Minister, along with TDP MLA Aditii Vijaya Lakshmi, took part in the rally and urged the people to change their lifestyle and overcome the side effects of diabetes.
Dr. Sravani said that there was no need for removal of body parts affected by diabetes with the new technology that protects limbs from the dreaded disease. She said that regular walking, exercises, and periodical health checkups would make everyone lead normal and happy life. The clinic organised an awareness and free medical camp at Ring Road junction and provided medicines for patients at free of cost.
Meanwhile, Apitoria Pharma Limited and Care Hospitals jointly organised a rally at Pydibhimavaram in Srikakulam district to raise awareness among people about the effects of uncontrolled diabetes on the human body. The hospital’s Consultant in Endocrinology, Pydi Venu Madhavi, said that diabetes can lead to many health complications in the body, including the kidneys, eyes, and nerves, if proper medical care is not taken to control the disease at an early stage. A medical camp was organised on the company premises for employees who attended for sugar, blood pressure, and other tests.
