Assistant Prof Dr B M R Rathor, a leading diabetologist talking to a private news channel, said the skyrocketing number of diabetic patients is a ticking time bomb and immediate action is required to avert a national health crisis. \u201cThe rising prevalence of diabetes is attributed to a combination of factors, including sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy diets, and genetic predisposition,\u201d Dr Rathor added. He stressed the importance of awareness and education in preventing and managing diabetes. \u201cWe need to encourage people to adopt healthy lifestyles,\u201d said Dr Rathor. \u201cThe government, healthcare providers and civil society must work together to combat this growing health crisis,\u201d he added. Expert further revealed that the prevalence of diabetes in Pakistan has been on a relentless upward trajectory over the past 30 years, with the number of patients ballooning at an alarming rate. Consuming high-carbohydrate foods such as wheat flour chapatti and rice can lead to a sudden surge in blood sugar levels, significantly increasing the risk of developing insulin resistance and diabetes, experts warned. To prevent diabetes, the health expert recommended maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet rich in whole foods, incorporating regular physical activity, staying hydrated, limiting sugary drinks and foods, choosing complex carbohydrates, getting enough sleep and managing stress through relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation.
