Diabetes is on the rise in Sierra Leone, and the team at We Care Sierra Leone is concerned. Our healthcare providers in Makeni are seeing an influx of patients with type 2 diabetes, some requiring attention every day or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a serious issue that cannot be ignored. Lifestyle changes can make a significant difference in managing and even preventing diabetes. It's time for all Sierra Leoneans to take their health more <\/a>seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Balanced diet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Watch what you eat. A balanced, nutritious diet low in processed foods and high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can go a long way in diabetes prevention and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
