Health experts: Malaysia has a full-blown sugar-fuelled diabetes crisis
Diabetes is no longer a disease of the elderly as even teenagers are being afflicted with it.
Consultant endocrinologist Dr Malathi Karupiah said a survey conducted by the National Health Institute indicated that one in every five Malaysians was diabetic.
She said Type 2 diabetes, which is due to insulin resistance, was the most common in the country.
