Support our theme of world diabetes day- Access to healthy food for diabetics.Lack of access to healthy food leads to food insecurity.Diabetes is one of the leading cause of mortality among LMICs like Pakistan.Lack of access to healthy food lead towards food insecurity.For Diabetics we need to create policies so that people can have options for better life.For Diabetics healthy diet is important part of treatment and healthy food should be accessible to everyone.Mostly people fail to achieve target blood glucose levels and food accessibility is one of the reason.In current pandemic due to increase inflation basic food items are out of reach for general population and due to high price people can't afford healthy food and this is the main reason Pakistan ranked third country people have high prevalence of diabetes.Unhealthy food items are very cheap and people complain that healthy food items including fruits and vegetables are not accessible due to high prices so with limited options diabetics have poor compliance and this will leads to diabetic complications which will affect the health system.Our demand is to consider the food prices so that diabetics have diverse options.
