Nigeria:Tackling Type 2 Diabetes in Nigeria

[Daily Trust] In a research I conducted while studying at the University of Sheffield, United Kingdom, it was discovered that Nigeria had the highest population of diabetics in Africa and it is projected to more than double by 2030. And, the Diabetes Association of Nigeria (DAN) suggests the increasing prevalence of diabetes in Nigeria also accounts for the highest mortality rates, where diabetes-related mortality from inadequate management outweighs that of HIV/AIDs, malaria and cancer in the country.
