American College of Physicians (ACP) guidelines redefined diabetes, stating that an HbA1c level up to 8.4% and an after-meal blood sugar up to 250 mg/dL are normal and no longer considered diabetic.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

The review says the 2018 ACP guidance concerned treatment targets for people already diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, not diagnostic criteria: it recommended an HbA1c target of 7% to 8%. It says diabetes diagnostic standards were unchanged, with an HbA1c of 6.5% or higher indicating diabetes and a two-hour post-meal reading of 200 mg/dL or higher also indicating diabetes.

Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING

FACTLY found that the person in the video with Abhijeet Dipke was not Jharkhand Congress president Keshav Mahto Kamlesh, but Maharashtra Congress leader Babajani Durrani. The same video was posted on Durrani’s Instagram account on 4 August 2026, with a description saying they met in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra.

In dem von mehreren Accounts geteilten Videomit jeweils zehntausendenoder sogar 1,2 Millionen Viewsberichtet angeblich die Deutsche Welle, dass Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz am 10. August seinen Rücktritt bekanntgeben will. Diese Informationen sollen aus "interner Korrespondenz des CDU-Vorstands" stammen, die dem "Handelsblatt" vorliege und über die die Wirtschafts- und Finanzzeitung zuerst berichtet habe.

Publisher’s rating: DW Faktencheck: Fake. Das Video ist kein echtes Video der DW, sondern ein weiterer Fall von Media-Spoofing - dabei wird die visuelle Identität vertrauenswürdiger Medienmarken und Nachrichtenkanäle imitiert und für die Verbreitung falscher Narrative missbraucht.
