Africa faces diabetes crisis, study finds

Diabetes is a condition in which the body struggles to turn food into energy due to insufficient insulin. Without insulin, sugar stays in the blood instead of entering cells, leading to high blood-sugar levels. Long-term complications include heart disease, kidney failure, blindness and amputations. 


The International Diabetes Federation estimated in 2021 that 24 million adults in sub-Saharan Africa were living with the condition. Researchers had projected that by 2045, about 6% of sub-Saharan Africans — over 50 million — would have diabetes. 


The new study, published this month in the medical journal The Lancet, suggested the actual percentage could be nearly double that. 


Dr. Raylton Chikwati, a study co-author from the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa, said a risk factor is living in or moving to the outskirts of cities, or “peri-urban areas.” 


“Access to health care, you know, in the rural areas is a bit less than in the urban areas,” Chikwati said, adding that increased use of processed foods in the peri-urban areas was a problem.
