Question

"Understanding the influence of societal, cultural, and religious beliefs on diabetes care in low-income countries (LICs) in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is vital. Traditional beliefs can lead to misconceptions that negatively affect self-care for diabetes. It is essential to investigate these myths and misconceptions to comprehend what diabetes signifies to individuals in LICs. Additionally, there is a necessity to establish comprehensive, dedicated diabetes services within SSA healthcare systems. This includes culturally adapted Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) and specialized diabetes training for all professionals involved in diabetes care, such as nutritionists, psychologists, and nurses. It's important to adopt a 'shared language' (meaning consistent definitions, principles, and care standards) across SSA, supported by national guidelines specifically for DSMES. Lastly, the role of media and community leaders in engaging communities and supporting the broader infrastructure and implementation of DSMES programs.
