Internal Medicine Dept.
Article Summary
How to manage Type 2 diabetes effectively with balanced Pakistani meals, daily walking, and regular HbA1c monitoring.
Pakistan has one of the world's highest rates of diabetes. Effective management relies on portion control rather than starvation: replace refined white flour with whole wheat (choker wali roti), limit white rice, and incorporate bitter gourd (karela), lentils, cucumbers, and salads. Engage in 30 minutes of brisk walking daily. Monitor fasting and postprandial glucose levels, and check your 3-month HbA1c test quarterly.
