“Diabetes across life stages” — the theme for this year’s World Diabetes Day, reminds us that diabetes affects people at every stage of life — from childhood to older age. It underscores the need for integrated care, supportive environments, and policies that empower people to live with dignity and self-manage their condition effectively.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated 537 million adults worldwide are living with diabetes, and the number continues to rise. Diabetes is no longer a disease of adulthood alone, increasing cases among children, adolescents, and women of reproductive age call for an inclusive, life-course approach to prevention and management.

This year, WHO calls on all stakeholders to take action toward achieving the Global Diabetes Coverage Targets by 2030:

• 80% of people with diabetes are diagnosed
• 80% of those diagnosed have good glycaemic control
• 80% of those diagnosed have good blood pressure control
• 60% of people aged 40+ with diabetes receive statins
• 100% of people with type 1 diabetes have access to affordable insulin and self-monitoring tools.

At Daktari Online, we believe that empowering healthcare providers with the right knowledge and tools is critical to achieving these targets. Continuous professional development in diabetes care helps clinicians deliver patient-centred, evidence-based care at every stage of life.

Our on-demand courses offer healthcare professionals the flexibility to learn, refresh, and specialize in key areas of diabetes and endocrinology.

These courses are designed for doctors, nurses, clinical officers, and allied health professionals seeking to enhance their competence in diabetes prevention, management, and patient education.

As we mark World Diabetes Day on 14th November, we invite you to:

• Learn more about diabetes across life stages,
• Earn CPD points through accredited on-demand courses, and
• Join a growing community of healthcare professionals dedicated to improving diabetes outcomes in Kenya and beyond.
