Why Eye Screening Matters for Diabetic Patients Many people living with diabetes are unaware of the silent complications affecting their eyesight — including diabetic retinopathy , glaucoma , and cataracts . These conditions often develop without early symptoms, and by the time vision is affected, the damage can be irreversible.

🩺Why Early Diabetes Diagnosis Matters in Africa

Did you know that in developed countries, diabetes is mostly diagnosed in people over 60 years of age? But in Africa, including Kenya, the average age of diagnosis is between 40 to 55 years. These are relatively young people who are active in their families, careers, and communities. Unfortunately, many people in Africa are unaware they are diabetic until the condition is already advanced. ⚠ The African Reality Late Diagnosis: Many individuals live with high blood sugar levels for years without symptoms. By the time signs appear, complications such as kidney, eye, or heart damage may have occurred. Amputation of feet is 15 times and dialysis is 8 times more prevalent in Africa than in developed countries.
