Why be afraid? Diabetes ca be controlled
Our colleagues met José at an NCD office in the primary care centre in the Lambayeque region, where he just attended a medical appointment. Eight years ago, he was diagnosed with diabetes and now takes medication and regularly attends the primary care centre to receive diabetes education and care.
He first found out about his condition when he had to go to the hospital for a medical emergency.
He was experiencing a severe episode of decompensated diabetes. There, he was advised to have a fundus examination of the back of the eye. This examination is crucial for people with diabetes, as it can reveal changes in the blood vessels that can lead to diabetic retinopathy.
