November 14, 2020, is World Diabetes Day. This year the theme is ‘Nurses: Make the Difference for Diabetes.’ This year we would like to remind the Kenyan government of their commitment to recognise and advance the role of nurses in diabetes prevention, treatment and care through:
• Quality nursing education
• Investment in the recruitment and retention of nurses
• Maximise the contribution of nurses in providing preventative and primary care
KDSG in partnership with Contour Plus is pleased to invite you to this webinar to commemorate the World Diabetes Day. Register here for the webinar.
Diabetes is a lifelong condition that develops when the body does not make enough insulin or is not able to use the insulin produced effectively or both. The Ministry of Health records indicates that between 2% to 5% of Kenyans are living with Diabetes. In Kenya, 60% of the adult population living with diabetes remain undiagnosed. The majority have type 2 diabetes, live in urban areas and are of working age.
Have your blood sugar checked regularly
If you have diabetes, you can control your blood sugar level through a healthy diet, regular physical activity, and medication.
