In interaction with media on the occasion, Dr Ali Raza said diabetes is a prevalent disease in our society which usually remains unnoticed
He said aim of this camp is to screen maximum people to detect diabetic patients who do not know about their disease. He said detecting diabetes early enables patients to control it without using medicines. Dr Ali Raza said changing one’s life style may also help control diabetes.—INP
