Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – March 15, 2026 – A new weekly newspaper column titled “Living Well with Diabetes” has officially launched today, offering Malaysians living with diabetes clear, actionable answers to common yet often overlooked everyday questions. Authored by Dr. Annie Tan, a Malaysian certified Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) physician, the column combines evidence-based Western medical recommendations with insights from TCM to support holistic and sustainable diabetes self-management.

The series addresses real-life challenges including daily meal planning, safe food choices, hydration, exercise, travel, stress, foot care, technology use, sleep, and long-term motivation. Each column stresses that responses vary by individual and strongly recommends consulting healthcare professionals — including qualified TCM practitioners registered under the Traditional and Complementary Medicine (T&CM) Act 2016 [Act 775] — before making any changes to diet, activity, or treatment.

“Living with diabetes goes beyond blood sugar targets alone,” said Dr. Annie Tan. “Patients frequently ask practical questions about what to eat daily, whether natural options like honey or lemon water are suitable, how to exercise safely, and how to maintain routines amid busy Malaysian lifestyles, family meals, festive periods, or travel. By blending the latest Western guidelines with TCM’s emphasis on balancing Qi, nourishing Yin, strengthening the spleen, clearing dampness or heat, and promoting preventive lifestyle harmony, we aim to empower readers with balanced, practical knowledge that respects Malaysia’s multicultural context.”
