Busting diabetes myths
You don’t have to be old or rich to get diabetes
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.
