The Challenge We're Addressing

Diabetes in Africa: Beyond Medical Care

Living with diabetes in Africa presents unique challenges. While medical treatment is critical, the emotional and psychological aspects of managing a chronic condition are often overlooked.

1

Limited Access to Support Systems

Many people with diabetes across Africa lack access to peer support groups, counseling, or mental health resources tailored to their condition.

2

Social Stigma and Isolation

Misconceptions about diabetes lead to stigma and discrimination, causing many to hide their condition and suffer in isolation.

3

Emotional Burden and Burnout

The constant demands of diabetes management lead to diabetes distress, burnout, and mental health challenges that affect overall health outcomes.

4

Cultural and Economic Barriers

Unique cultural contexts and economic limitations create additional barriers to holistic diabetes care across different African countries.

Research shows: Emotional support significantly improves diabetes management outcomes, reducing complications and improving quality of life.
