Diabetes in Pakistan is a major challenge for healthcare providers which calls for collaborative efforts among diabetic patients, healthcare professionals and healthcare policymakers.

This was stated by experts at a public awareness programme on diabetes held at a hotel under the auspices of the Baqai Institute of Diabetology and Endocrinology (BIDE) in collaboration with Novo Nordisk Pharma on Sunday.

Diabetes affects around 366 million people worldwide and the number is projected to rise to 566 million by 2030 with 80 percent burden in the low- and middle-income countries.
