Diabetes is a chronic disorder characterized by increased
hyper glycaemia. This leads to array of complex complications.
It is not easy living
with diabetes. Considering the daily decision making in area of healthy eating,
socio-economic, psychological and physical wellbeing. This is even worse for
persons living in sub-Saharan Africa where the cost of medication and insulin
is too much and in some cases either expired or not properly kept.
As if this is not enough burden, with the current advocacy
for freedom of information, people living with diabetes are daily faced with
information on Diabetes Cure spanning from print to electronic media. This
becomes a big challenge to a person living with diabetes especially in rural
area. Many persons living with diabetes have fallen prey to this information
bombardment. Some have lost money, others have suffered damage to their kidney,
liver, eyes amongst other organs.
It is important to remind readers and authorities concerned
that until now, International Diabetes Federation (IDF), the foremost authority
in Diabetes Worldwide, assert that there is yet no cure but that Diabetes can be
managed and prevented.
There is therefore a great need to sensor this information
being passed on a daily basis in our news especially in print and electronic
media and even in buses and market places.
Those marketing food supplements or other essential vitamins
should be specific in their product detailing. This will help to prevent confusion,
lost of life and material resources.

UN SUMMIT: VIEWS FROM
THE DIABETES COMMUNITY
The most positive message that came out of the UN summit was
a commitment to ensure access to medicine for all. Other positive message
includes the fact that Diabetes epidemic is being recognized. It is alarming to
know that the current population of persons living with diabetes is 366million
far from the previous figure of 285million as revealed by the President of
International Diabetes Federation Professor Mbaya.
This figure is far
above the population of many countries put together and a quarter of this
figure are undiagnosed. It is important that world leaders set up a special
fund to fight this epidemic globally. It is sad to note that insulin a basic
requirement for persons living with type 1 diabetes which is over 100 years of
discovery is hadly available or affordable especially to those living in
sub-saharan Africa.
Many African leaders pay lip service approach to the fight
against diabetes. Persons living with diabetes find it difficult to acquire a glucose
meter, a necessity for any person with diabetes.
The Ministries of health needs to revigorate their NCD departments, paying full
attention to the challenges of Diabetes to reduce these prevalence rate of
diabetes by 2015.
