Rally and free glucose tests in Aftabnagar on World Diabetes Day with message 'Type-2 diabetes can get better'
With the message 'Type-2 diabetes can get better', JK Lifestyle, the organisation of Dr Muhammad Jahangir Kabir, ran a special awareness campaign for World Diabetes Day 2026.
The organisers said the aim of the initiative was to present common ideas about diabetes, the risks of the disease and the importance of lifestyle change to the general public.
The campaign began on Saturday (14 November) at 6am with an awareness rally in Aftabnagar in the capital.
Free blood glucose tests were then arranged for the public at Addar Mor in Aftabnagar, and discount coupons were distributed for the HOMA-IR test used to detect insulin resistance.
Dr Muhammad Jahangir Kabir was present at the time and raised awareness about diabetes among the public.
As part of the campaign, a seminar titled 'Type-2 diabetes can get better' was held at JK Lifestyle's head office, where Dr Jahangir Kabir discussed the risks of diabetes, insulin resistance and different aspects of a healthy lifestyle.
He said: “Uncontrolled eating habits, physical inactivity, insufficient sleep and long-term mental stress increase the risk of type-2 diabetes. So it is essential to build habits of healthy eating, fasting or autophagy, regular exercise, adequate sleep and mental calm in daily life.”
Awareness content, videos and information were also published on online platforms as part of the campaign, in an effort to raise awareness about diabetes among people in different parts of the country.
According to JK Lifestyle, positive results in controlling type-2 diabetes are possible by making the necessary lifestyle changes on the advice of doctors and nutritionists.
