In general, Policemen do not have a regular time schedule. They have to work more than the normal hours every day which leads to irregular and unhealthy eating habits. After the age of 40, we see most of the people being diagnosed with diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol, and lifestyle diseases. The primary reasons for the rise in complications are delay in diagnosis and lack of regular follow-ups.” Said Dr GSK Velu, Chairman and Managing Director of Neuberg Diagnostics.
