The speakers focused on the rising burden and upcoming challenges in diabetes therapy shared that the current treatment options for diabetes were helping thousands of patients but with the progressive nature of the disease, new treatment options were always needed to overcome the existing challenges. They said population of Pakistan was living with diabetes due to stress, lifestyles and unbalanced diet and this number was increasing rapidly.

They said a large number of the patient did not know about their disease as they had never bothered for check up. The reasons behind the rise in the disease were use of unhealthy diet, increasing trend of junk and fast food, soft drinks, smoking, overweight, physical inactivity, stress and depression, changing sleeping patterns especially among young and lack of periodic check up of blood sugar level. They also said more than 415 million people had diabetes in the world while they expected that this number would be reached to 642 million during next four years.
