Please be a partner, let's bring this vision to limelight.
According to the international Diabetes Federation's statistics report, 425 million people have diabetes worldwide and more than 16 million people in Africa, by 2045 it will be around 41 million.
Also known as juvenile diabetes, this type occurs when the body fails to produce insulin. People with type I diabetes are insulin-dependent, which means they must take artificial insulin daily to stay alive.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder that results in hyperglycemia (high blood glucose levels). Type 2 diabetes is characterised by the body being unable to metabolise glucose (a simple sugar). This leads to high levels of blood glucose which over time may damage the organs of the body.
Gestational diabetes occurs when you have hyperglycemia (high blood glucose levels) during pregnancy. Gestational diabetes usually develops in the third trimester (between 24 and 28 weeks) and typically disappears after the baby is born. Women who develop gestational diabetes during pregnancy are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes later on in life.
LADA stands for Latent Autoimmune Diabetes of Adulthood. LADA is a form of type 1 diabetes that develops later into adulthood. LADA tends to develop more slowly than type 1 diabetes in childhood and, because LADA can sometimes appear similar to type 2 diabetes, doctors may mistakenly diagnose LADA as type 2 diabetes
Diabetes comes in many forms, one of which is Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young, or MODY. This type of diabetes is more likely to be inherited than other types of diabetes, due to a stronger genetic risk factor. MODY is sometimes compared to type 2 diabetes, and shares some type 2 diabetes symptoms.
Double diabetes is when someone with type 1 diabetes develops insulin resistance, the key feature of type 2 diabetes. Someone with double diabetes will always have type 1 diabetes present but the effects of insulin resistance can be reduced somewhat.
Type 3 diabetes is a title that has been proposed for Alzheimer's disease which results from resistance to insulin in the brain. Studies carried out by the research team at Warren Alpert Medical School at Brown University identified the possibility of a new form of diabetes after finding that insulin resistance can occur in the brain.
Corticosteroids are used to reduce harmful inflammation but can lead to diabetes - often referred to as steroid diabetes. People on steroids who are already at a higher risk of type 2 diabetes or those who need to take steroids for longer periods of time are the most susceptible to developing steroid induced diabetes.
Brittle diabetes mellitus (or labile diabetes) is a term used to describe particularly hard to control type 1 diabetes. Those people who have brittle diabetes are more likely to experience frequent, extreme swings in blood glucose levels, causing hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia.
Many African's are yet to know or believe that anyone no matter age, gender or financial status can be diagnosed of diabetes; many persons see it as a taboo or impossible occurrence for a child to be diagnosed of diabetes.

It's very informative, it educates you, it directs you, it's resourceful . I'm glad that I am a part of PDF. When I felt all hope was dying for me, I got connected with PDF and truly it's been a wealth of assistance to me. I now have my diabetes controlled.
My parents died of diabetes at my young age, I was so scared when I was also diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. I was ready to die until I came across PJosh Diabetes Foundation on Facebook. I follow their posts and instructions daily in combination with my doctors advice , I feel better now and my blood sugar is under control.
