Pakistanis Are Dying? (The Emergency Nobody Is Talking About)

Why is Pakistan now number one in the world for diabetes, and how did a disease we once linked only with old age reach our children? In this Raftar documentary, we look at how one in three adult Pakistanis came to live with diabetes, and why so many of them don’t even know it. What really happens inside the body when sugar has nowhere to go, and why do thirst and frequent trips to the bathroom matter so much? We hear from patients and doctors about what this disease does to the heart, kidneys, eyes and feet, and ask why sugary drinks, fast food and the way we eat today are pushing more Pakistanis toward it every year. Can diabetes be controlled, or even reversed, just by changing what we eat and how we live? And if our body was given to us brand new and completely free, why are we treating it so carelessly?
