One in 14 Filipino adults live with diabetes, and they are at risk of a bittersweet ending; the numbers say so. Even though, with a grim future at the horizon, we’d like to remain hopeful of sweeter days and wonder how the future looks for diabetics in the Philippines.
Diabetes in the Philippines: Can We Still Prevent or Control?
According to the latest WHO data published in 2018, the Philippines ranks 59th with the most number of deaths due to diabetes.
Locally, Diabetes Mellitus is the fourth leading cause of death for Filipinos, and the Philippine Statistics Authority data showed that, from the average 32,991 deaths between 2015 to 2019, the morbidity rate in the country spiked to 37,265 in 2020—possibly aggravated by COVID-19.
By 2030, it is estimated that 5.2 million Filipinos will have diabetes. By 2045, numbers will rise up to 7.2 million.
As a developing country, the public health crisis can indeed pose a lack of systemic support for holistic diabetes treatment, but there are programs in place that you can take advantage of.
Small Steps to Champion Diabetes Prevention and Control
The following are ways that can help empower Filipinos to champion for better diabetes care in the country.
Encourage lower blood sugar maintenance through healthy alternatives
Access to insulin is critical to maintaining a healthy life for diabetics; but maintaining low blood sugar levels via insulin is not the end-all-be-all in diabetes management.
There are all-natural alternatives that can help spark more holistic lifestyles. For one, Lowsutea Philippines is a widely trusted brand that is committed to helping diabetic and pre-diabetic individuals take control of their lives with the help of a carefully crafted sugar cleansing tea.
Foster a community for diabetic and pre-diabetic individuals
Aside from a product that’s created to aid those living with diabetes, Lowsutea is driven to nurture a community that will keep Filipinos informed about their condition.
