Diabetes represents a real public health issue in Morocco, affecting populations of all ages. More than 2.7 million Moroccan adults currently live with this disease, almost 50% of whom are undiagnosed..

According to a press release from the Ministry of Health, more than 2.2 million people are pre-diabetic, and 25,000 children are also affected by this pathology.

As part of its care policy, the Ministry of Health and Social Protection monitors more than 1.5 million diabetics in primary care settingsby offering them a structured care pathway and regular medical support.

According to the IDF, 36% of diabetics suffer from distress linked to their illness, and 63% indicate that fear of complications affects their well-being. Moreover, 28% of them struggle to maintain a positive attitude facing the daily challenges imposed by diabetes.

In this context, World Diabetes Day 2024 aims to raise awareness among health professionals, associations and civil society in order to place well-being at the center of the care of diabetics, thus allowing a more fulfilling and better balanced life. , notes the press release.

Early detection and prevention are also at the heart of this mobilization. Each year, the Ministry of Health screens one million people at high risk across the country, in primary care centers, in order to intervene at the first signs and limit serious complications. Therapeutic education is another essential pillar of care, since it aims to strengthen the autonomy of diabetics to better manage their condition on a daily basis.

As the number of cases continues to increase, this day recalls the urgency of action to improve the quality of life of people with diabetes and highlight the importance of comprehensive care that integrates their physical well-being and psychological.
