Core Tip This article highlights how socioeconomic and cultural barriers such as poverty, gender norms, and mistrust undermine diabetes care in Pakistan. Economic hardship limits access, while sociocultural norms restrict health-seeking behavior, especially among women. Misinformation and distrust further exacerbate poor outcomes. Effective type 2 diabetes mellitus management demands equity-driven, culturally responsive health interventions.
