In November 2011, Bangalore set a world record in the number of people who had their blood sugar levels tested as part of a diabetes awareness campaign. Unfortunately half of those tested showed high blood sugar levels.
Diabetes is very common among Bangaloreans, especially after age 45. This is mostly due to diet and a sedimentary lifestyle. The typical diet is rich in oil, rice and flatbreads. Tea with milk and sugar is served a few times each day. All of this adds to a growing health problem for Bangaloreans.
Pray that God would use this disease to make Bangaloreans mindful of their humanity. Pray that Christian doctors would take every opportunity to share the Gospel with their patients. Ask God to help Bangaloreans to trade their love of bread and rice for a desire for the Bread of Life who will bring deep soul satisfaction.
