Prof. Dr. Abdul Mannan Sarker, Coordinator & Senior Consultant, Diabetology & Endocrinology Department, said, “Regular screening is the first step in diabetes prevention. Early detection allows patients to control blood sugar through lifestyle modifications and medication, reducing the risk of serious complications such as kidney disease, heart disease, and neuropathy.”

Dr. Ahsanul Haq Amin, Senior Consultant, Diabetology & Endocrinology Department, said, “Awareness about diabetes is not just for patients but for families and communities. Education on proper diet, portion control, regular physical activity, and stress management can help prevent the onset of diabetes in high-risk individuals.”

Dr. Nazmul Islam, Senior Consultant, Diabetology & Endocrinology Department, said, “Managing diabetes requires a comprehensive approach. Alongside regular medical check-ups, patients should focus on maintaining a healthy body weight, limiting sugar intake, and understanding their blood sugar trends to make informed lifestyle choices.”

Dr. Fahmida Zabeen, Senior Consultant, Paediatrics & Neonatology Department, said, “Diabetes among children is becoming more common, mainly due to modern lifestyles and poor eating habits. It can affect anyone from infants to teenagers. So, if you notice any symptoms at any age of children, consult a specialist doctor and help raise awareness among people.”
