PHO-TO: APPDozens of cyclists from across the city participated in a diabetes awareness exercise under the banner of Cycologists in Clifton on Saturday, which was organised in connection with World Diabetes Day, celebrated on November 14 every year. The cycling event was aimed to highlight the importance of cycling and other physical activities in preventing and controlling the disease. "Diabetes is a lifestyle disease which means that our sedentary lifestyle, unbalanced diet and habits are seriously affecting our health," he explained. "We want to promote this activity [cycling] as much as possible so that people can prevent themselves from developing serious health conditions like diabetes," said Zaheer. "We are trying to promote cycling among children too, as childhood obesity is on the rise in Pakistan, especially Karachi."
