Download Is diabetes in Africa a ticking timebomb?
Africa has relatively low rates of diabetes.
But cases are rising faster than any other continent.
The condition causes the levels of glucose in the body to become too high.
Untreated it can damage the nerves, eyes, heart and even lead to death.
So, why is it a growing problem across Africa?
And what can be done to prevent further cases?
The episode contains frank discussion about sexual health issues.
