There was a guy on TikTok who said his father converted from Islam to Christianity because he lied on his asylum claim that he was a persecuted Christian, then started reading the Bible to prepare for any Bible questions in his asylum interview. Anyway, he started reading and was like…

🚨 Today we convene a Media Breakfast to unpack the Johannesburg Declaration for Accelerated Action on Diabetes.
Diabetes is now SA’s leading cause of death — yet the response falls short.
We are driving the call for urgent national action!

Just wrapped up the NCD Civil Society Forum feeling inspired and hopeful! So proud to be part of the movement driving real change for diabetes care in South Africa. The future is bright and bold for our community. 💙🇿🇦 #NCDForum #DiabetesAdvocacy

[Dr. Kibachio J. Mwangi; MD, PhD. @kibachio]

An empowered diabetes civil society means stronger advocacy, better awareness, and more inclusive policies.

It holds leaders accountable, amplifies marginalized voices, and drives social change from the ground up.

@WHOSouthAfrica in partnership with @HealthZA, @UPDiabetes and sponsored by the @WorldDiabetesF are holding a diabetes civil society forum to learn from each other and strategise on how to support the government in leading the campaign to halt and reverse the burden of diabetes and NCDs at large.

When civil society thrives, so does the community, health, justice, equity, and sustainable development.

Indeed when people living with diabetes lead the conversation, systems become more responsive, equitable, and person-centered.

If you have lived with #T1Diabetes ?

You will know the associated “Stigma” created by false narratives of society and its judgements

For as long as I live, I’ll advocate for those living with diabetes💙. What a busy but fulfilling weekend. My hope is that SA gets the education & diabetes care we deserve: insulin4all & CGM access for everyone. #diabetesadvocavy #insulin4all #CGM4all #SouthAfrica
