Plus, most people are inert and have absolutely no exercise in their daily routine. Apart from the lifestyle, there are reasons beyond human control as well, contributing to making India a country of obese people. Goel has performed surgery across different lifestyle strata. There is a 2.5% of childhood obesity in India which has taken its toll in the urban children, Dr Goel has been working with these obese children where they have acquired through excessive consumption of caloriedense food, frequent eating out and lack of physical activity are the main reasons for severe obesity in young children.  62 million people suffering from diabetes reside in India. There is a rising demand for insulin in the country, there is a pressing need for the government and the regulator to bring the prices down. Insulin which is used within the body in a constant proportion to remove excess glucose from the blood, which otherwise would be toxic, this helps in controlling the disease. Goel, highlights the metabolic surgery which was primarily for weight loss in significantly obese people was seen to result in diabetes control in most of the patients. While bariatric surgeries essentially lead to weight loss, the procedure helps in controlling of diabetes and hypertension. These surgeries were initially recommended for morbidly obese people, but in the last five years they are being offered to diabetic patients who are not obese. Goel has been a supporter for insurance companies to insure and cover the weight loss surgery. Goel R, Amin P, Goel M, Marik S.
