“Diabetes Myths lead to greater stigma, hurt and most significantly misunderstanding and misdiagnosed’.

Let’s Uncover Some Myths: -

Eating Sweets and Sugar Causes Diabetes - Consuming sugar is not a direct risk factor for type 2 diabetes, although it can have indirect effects, such as weight gain, that make the condition more likely to develop. Risk factors for type 2 diabetes include: being overweight or having a large waist circumference.

Type 2 diabetes only develops late in life - Type 2 diabetes used to be known as adult-onset diabetes, but both type 1 and type 2 diabetes can begin during childhood and adulthood. Type 2 is more common in older adults, but the increase in the number of children with obesity has led to more cases of type 2 diabetes in younger people.

People with diabetes cannot live a normal life- Not true. Although it may take a little planning and modification with diet and medicines, you should be able to do everything you did before you begin on treatment.
