Busting diabetes myths

Africa Life Clinic

Available for over a year

Diabetes in Africa is far more common than we might realise. Many people have the condition but don’t know as they never get tested. There is also a lot of denial about the disease which is most commonly associated with old age. We speak with one young man about his experience of developing diabetes when he was a teenager and how it has affected his life since. With Priscilla Ngethe and Anne Mawathe.
