Video Summary
In this webinar, Dr. Ibrahim Aicheya and Dr. Marie-Nancy Charles-Larco discussed the management of diabetes in developing countries and resource-limited settings. They highlighted the unique aspects of childhood diabetes in Sub-Saharan Africa, where 90% of childhood diabetes is due to type 1 diabetes mellitus. They discussed the challenges faced in Sub-Saharan Africa, such as limited healthcare resources, prioritization of infectious diseases, limited research and publication, and limited access to healthcare. They also discussed the disparities in diabetes incidence, gender, and socioeconomic status in different countries in Africa. They emphasized the need for a team approach to care and the importance of insulin as the basis of treatment. They also discussed strategies to improve access to care, such as the use of pre-mixed insulin and the training of healthcare workers. They emphasized the importance of education, regular blood glucose monitoring, and exercise in diabetes management. They also discussed the challenges in providing diabetes care in Haiti, including limited access to diagnosis, limited access to care, limited qualified health professionals, lack of knowledge, and limited access to medication. They highlighted the strategies employed by the Haitian Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease Foundation (FADIMAC) including training health professionals, creating affiliated centers, developing educational materials in Creole, and providing low-cost medicines and subsidized programs. They also emphasized the need for advocacy and financial support to improve diabetes management in resource-limited settings.
