I'm Fatima Mehmood - Pakistani engineer, a gold medalist, entrepreneur, career coach and mother of four. After living across Europe and other parts of the world as an overseas Pakistani, I realized Pakistani parents worldwide face the same challenges. As a mother, I know what it feels like to watch your children struggle with health issues and feel helpless. Especially as a parent of an autistic child, I understand the unique challenges we face. My background as an engineer and university professor taught me to research deeply. I spent years studying food's healing power, testing recipes, and separating myths from reality across different cultures.

Here's the shocking truth about diabetes in Pakistan:

We are facing a national health crisis, with over 50% of our population, including children, either diabetic or pre-diabetic. The average age of diagnosis is plummeting, affecting productivity, quality of life, and the future of our nation.

The hidden reasons behind Pakistan's diabetes epidemic:

Processed Foods & Sugar Addiction: Our daily diet is saturated with refined sugars and highly processed foods, leading to insulin resistance from an early age.
Lack of Awareness: Many families are unaware of the long-term impact of their dietary choices and traditional cooking methods.
Sedentary Lifestyles: Increased screen time and decreased physical activity contribute to weight gain and metabolic disorders.
Cultural Food Habits: Sweets, fried foods, and refined grains are deeply embedded in our culture, making healthy eating a challenge.
