Abstract :

Diabetes is now a major health issue caused by urbanization in Pakistan. Urban residents are especially affected by the significant rise in the number of people with diabetes or pre-diabetes due to rapid urbanization, as well as changes in their lifestyle and diet as a result of population growth and other demographic shifts. Urbanized locations are still experiencing high levels of undiagnosed diabetes and are at risk for many lifestyle-related diseases such as obesity, hypertension, and diabetes, which together create significant problems for their healthcare systems, including increased expenses associated with treating diabetes-related complications and issues with maintaining the ability to provide adequate diabetic healthcare services due to increased costs. This rapid increase in incidence has created a very urgent need for effective prevention measures, early detection, and enhancement in primary healthcare delivery systems.
