The Aga Khan Hospital in Dar es Salaam is set to conduct a free medical checkups and counselling on diabetes at Mlimani City.
According to the Family Medicine Specialist at the hospital, Dr Liwayway Hussein, diabetes was nowadays affecting more people in the Least Developing Countries (LDC) than in the developed world.
“The rate of diabetic cases is now alarming, even people as young as 35 are presently facing the problem in the country, while just a few years the condition was only common amongst the aged,” she said.
Dr Hussein said due to the change of lifestyles among the people, excessive consumption of take-away foods, spending a lot of time in cars or sitting in the office, one was likely to develop diabtetes.
Inactivity and too much sugar anf processed foods can be the culprit of this problems, imo :)
