In past few decades, although, we have witnessed an upsurge of innovative techniques and new discoveries in diabetes and endocrinology, outcomes have still failed to improve and the occurrence of the disease is on a rise. 

In spite of newer guidelines, there exists an unmet need to fill in the huge existent gap between translation of these guidelines for prevention and treatment of diabetes and its potential complications into clinical practice. Though we have enough evidence to form guidelines, translational evidence for conversion of these into practice is far from real. 

Also, the prevalence of nonadherence and non-compliance to therapy and lifestyle interventions needs due attention given the inability of HCPs to assess and modify the behaviour of the diabetic patients secondary to lack of implementation of mind health strategies.
