MYTH: Only overweight people get diabetes.
FACT: Even normal-weight or underweight people can develop diabetes.
Diabetes risk depends on many factors, not just body weight:
✔ Genetics / Family history
✔ Visceral fat (fat around organs)
✔ Insulin resistance
✔ Sedentary lifestyle
Doctors are also discussing Type 5 Diabetes — a form linked to malnutrition, often seen in lean individuals.
So remember:
Body size alone cannot determine diabetes risk.
That’s why these are important:
✔ Regular blood sugar screening
✔ Healthy diet
✔ Active lifestyle
In homoeopathy, treatment is individualized.
Medicines are selected based on a person’s overall health, symptoms, and body constitution to support better blood sugar balance and diabetes management.
