((((( ULTIMATE HEALTH )))) With NORTEY DUA Diabetes claims one life every eight seconds and a limb every 30 seconds according to reports from WHO and the International Diabetes Federation (IDF)!!!! The World Health Organisation (WHO) has predicted that developing countries would bear the brunt of diabetes in the 21st . Statistics indicate that more than 70 per cent of people with diabetes lived in low and middle income countries, with prevalence increasing dramatically in Africa!!! Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, a condition which could be attributed to a situation where either the body does not produce enough insulin or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced. In Ghana, more than FOUR MILLION people may be affected with DIABETES. If not addressed as a matter of urgency, diabetes, may soon threaten the economic viability of the nation. Many Ghanaians are not aware of their risk of developing Diabetes. Indeed, many are unaware that they have diabetes. Sadly, undetected, untreated or poorly controlled diabetes could result in devastating long-term complications such as blindness, amputation, kidney diseases, stroke, heart attack, erectile dysfunction and life threatening short-term complications as ketoacidosis and severe hypoglycemia. Last week, the discussion focused on the early diagnosis of DIABETES, signs & symptoms, and types of diabetes. Today we will focus on screening and effective management of diabetes.
