Fawad Khan is not only a superstar of the Pakistani entertainment industry, but also a role model for many people who are living with diabetes. He recently opened up about his personal journey of dealing with Type 1 diabetes, a chronic condition that affects the body’s ability to produce insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels.
Fawad Khan revealed that he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when he was only 17 years old, which was a shock for him and his family. He said that he experienced symptoms such as frequent urination and dry mouth, which prompted him to seek medical attention. He also said that he tried various home remedies or “totkas” suggested by well-meaning people, but none of them worked for him.
He said that he learned to manage his condition by following his doctor’s advice, taking insulin injections, monitoring his blood sugar levels, eating a balanced diet, and exercising regularly. He also said that he faced some challenges and difficulties along the way, such as adjusting to his medication, coping with stress, and dealing with social stigma. He said that he overcame these challenges by staying positive, educating himself and others about diabetes, and seeking support from his family and friends.
Fawad Khan also shared some tips and advice for other people who are living with diabetes or who are at risk of developing it. He said that they should consult their doctor regularly, follow their treatment plan, check their blood sugar levels frequently, avoid smoking and alcohol, and maintain a healthy weight. He also said that they should not be ashamed or afraid of their condition, but rather embrace it as part of their identity.
