Fake Diabetes "Cures" Social Media

Kia ora koutou!

Some of you may have already seen the social media scam that is circulating using fake videos of Professor Rinki Murphy (Health NZ, University of Auckland), falsely promoting diabetes “cures” and weight loss products.

Unfortunately, as a result of this scam some patients have stopped taking their prescribed medication and paid for these fake treatments, posing serious health and financial risks.

Prof Dame Helen Stokes-Lampard, the National Chief Medical Officer, has asked us to please remind patients to:

• Never stop diabetes meds without medical advice.
• Be wary of ads claiming “5-second cures” or pills “not sold in pharmacies”.
• Report fake videos to the platform and avoid clicking links.
• Report harm or financial loss to NZ Police.

Thank you for your support in helping to raise awareness!
