#DUKPC24 is now over and I don’t know what to tweet or X. I need a tweet lesson. Anyway back to baseline stuff, reading, writing, granthinking, datamining and ☕️.

Find our recent paper on early-onset type 2 #diabetes looking different in Africans compared to Europeans. We used data from UDIP Davis Kibirige in Uganda and StartRight Angus Jones in the UK. Link: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39209773/

Structured diabetes education has been shown to be effective in reducing #HbA1c and to be cost effective for diabetes. Unfortunately, there are no structured diabetes education programmes in Africa. Diabetes education will be very useful especially for #T1D in Africa.

Delighted to have presented for the first time a more extended version of the work I am leading at #ISPAD50 with a host of colleagues from #Africa and #UK NIHR Exeter Biomedical Research Centre (BRC). Pediatric #diabetes in Africa is mostly not T1D, T2D or monogenic diabetes. It’s something else 🧐

Delighted to share a case report of how we assessed & made a diagnosis of #MODY in a young Cameroonian diagnosed with #T1D, which further led to treatment switch from Insulin to Sulphonylureas. Imagine the relief for this young person in this setting. jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

For the past 3 days, I have been attending the NIHR Global Health ExeterDiabetes Steering Committee meeting on Improving outcomes for people with T2D in Sub-Saharan #Africa, held at the UVRI/MRC LSHTM Uganda Research Unit, Entebbe, Uganda. Wonderful chairing from Amanda I Adler

Dust, symbol of warmth and resilience, shaped my African childhood. Snow, magical and serene, awed me in the UK. Both hold unique beauty and challenges—dust is home, snow is wonder. Neither is superior; each reflects its environment. Which resonates more with you: dust or snow?
