Why Pune needs a diabetes-first meal plan
Pune has an accidental advantage over many Indian cities — jowar and bajra bhakri are still weekday normal, not special-occasion food. The problem is the city's tech transplant diet: pav, parathas, and 11pm Swiggy. Our Pune plans lean into desi Marathi grains (jowar, bajra, nachni) and make sure Sunday puran poli is the exception, not the trigger.
State-level adult T2D prevalence: ~11.9%. Pune's IT workforce shows an especially high pre-diabetes rate among 25-35 age group.India is home to approximately 101 million adults living with Type 2 diabetes (ICMR-INDIAB, 2023) — one of the world's largest at-risk populations.
