All school going children could have to undergo tests for diabetes if a new proposal put forward by the Indian Health Ministry goes through.

An official from the health ministry said that the data from the six districts will then be analyzed before expanding the testing to the rest of the nation.
“Studies indicate that the prevalence would be in the range of about four to 22 diabetic per lakh children in the age-group up to 15 years”, the official added.
