Karachi : The Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) organized a public awareness session to mark World Diabetes Day, offering valuable information and resources to help manage and prevent diabetes. The three-hour session featured expert talks, interactive activities, demonstrations, and a Q&A with AKUH specialists. The panel emphasised the critical role of exercise, a balanced diet, and routine check-ups in managing diabetes—a condition that increases the risk of several serious health complications. They highlighted how regular consultations and tests can aid in early detection and treatment. Guests availed themselves of free health screenings, including blood glucose, cholesterol, HbA1c, blood pressure, and measurements of BMI, waist circumference, and body fat.
