Dr Amir Mahmood interviews Dr Wasif Iqbal, a top Endocrinologist & Diabetes Expert of DG Khan

In Pakistan, diabetes has become a silent epidemic affecting over 33 million adults, or roughly one in three people, marking one of the highest rates in the world! Sadly, myths make things harder in our communities: folks believe eating too much sugar alone causes it, but it's really a mix of lifestyle, weight gain, and genes, not just sweets; some think it's catchy like a cold, but it's not spread from person to person; others say honey or natural sweeteners are safe because they're "healthy," yet they still spike blood sugar just like regular sugar; there's a big fear that starting injections for treatment leads to addiction or harms like blindness and infertility, but these are safe tools that save lives when used right, not a last resort; and many downplay it as "just a bit of sugar," ignoring how it can quietly damage the body over time without proper care. The good news is simple steps like walking daily, choosing veggies and whole grains over fried snacks, keeping weight in check, and regular doctor visits for blood checks can control it, prevent serious problems, and help folks stay strong for their loved ones—yet over half go undiagnosed or unmanaged due to lack of info and access in rural areas. Spreading the truth can turn this around for a healthier nation. #DiabetesAwareness #PakistanHealth #DebunkDiabetesMyths #HealthyLivingPK #FightDiabetes #PublicHealthPakistan
