Demographics
Diabetes has become very wide spread in Kuwait affecting a large number of individuals and family members. There is also a large percentage of the population that is pre-diabetic and can prevent the disease with the right information and support.
Due to the construct of the healthcare system in Kuwait and lack of Diabetes educators and nutritionists available to each patient, a large number of patients are not knowledgeable about their disease or related disorders and require much education and support.
The Dasman Diabetes Resource Hub (DDRH) services can assist in bridging that gap to help patients becoming
- More knowledgeable
- Empowered to self-manage their disease, and
- Better able to cope with long term complications in order to prevent or slow their progression
