 Kebbi Govt Donates 10 Hilux Vehicles to Boost Security on Sokoto–Badagry Super Highway  The Kebbi State Government has handed over 10 brand-new Hilux vehicles to the Federal Ministry of Works to strengthen security for personnel working on the Sokoto–Badagry Super Highway project.

AFRICA FACES DIABETES CRISIS, STUDY FINDS. (PHOTO).

 


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.
