[/plethora_headinggroup][vc_column_text]<strong>President of the Pakistan Endocrine Society, Dr. Ibrar Ahmed,</strong> emphasized, "Diabetes can lead to life-threatening complications. The primary means of preventing diabetes is to maintain a healthy diet and implement lifestyle modifications."

<strong>Prof. Abdul Basit, Secretary General of DAP and Director of BIDE</strong>, pointed out, "Pakistan is now ranked First in the world for diabetes prevalence. The public needs to be informed about how to prevent diabetes, those with diabetes must understand how to delay or avert distressing health complications, and other stakeholders should be sensitized to contribute to stopping diabetes."

<strong>"Osman Khalid Waheed, CEO of Ferozsons Laboratories Limited</strong>, emphasized the core objective of the <strong>STOP Diabetes</strong> campaign: to educate the general public about the health implications of diabetes and how to prevent it through the adoption of a healthy lifestyle. Throughout November, our teams will collaborate with the Pakistan Endocrine Society, leading diabetologists, and the medical community to conduct nationwide awareness initiatives.
