3 in 5 diabetics in South Africa are undiagnosed and over three-quarters of deaths due to diabetes in South Africa occur in the under-60 age group. “This represents an enormous burden on our health system,” Dr Bhana said. “The problem with type 2 diabetes, really, is the massive number of complications it causes that lead to huge levels of morbidity and mortality.”
