HEALTH | Understanding diabetes and its impact

The Centre for Diabetes and Endocrinology notes that diabetes is a group of health conditions that cause high blood sugar levels. If left untreated, high blood sugar can harm the body and damage organs over time. There are many types of diabetes, but three main types are most common. From type 1 to type 2, and even gestational diabetes, we'll talk about the latest research, treatment options, and most importantly, ways to manage and even prevent this condition. Joining me now is Dr. Reyna Daya, Head of Endocrine Division, Helen Joseph hospital, University of Witwatersrand and Chairperson of Society of metabolism, endocrinology and Diabetes South Africa (SEMDSA).
