KUALA LUMPUR – The Health Ministry (MoH) said it has never certified any product or food that can substitute medicine.

MoH posted on its Facebook page today that this included the use of insulin to treat diabetes and control blood sugar as recently claimed by a portal.

It said the claim was irresponsible and that the picture used was a modified picture from the http://myhealth.gov.my website aimed at misleading consumers.

“MoH calls on the public to not be easily deceived and influenced by statements and portals whose claims are unverified,” he said. – Bernama, November 6, 2022
