In the Times of India article, experts urge people to stop blaming sugar alone for diabetes, explaining that the condition is far more complex than just eating sweets. Dr Amit Gupta, Senior Consultant – Paediatrician and Neonatologist at Motherhood Hospitals in Noida, says diabetes in children and adults is influenced by genetics, sedentary lifestyles, screen time, and poor dietary habits rather than the occasional dessert. He highlights the importance of early awareness, recognising warning signs, and promoting physical activity and balanced nutrition. Understanding how the body processes insulin and addressing lifestyle factors are key to preventing and managing diabetes effectively.
