Diabetes SA Western Cape

Diabetes is the leading cause of premature death in Cape Town.
We need to start setting a good example, educating ourselves and our
children about diabetes. There can be serious consequences...
DSA Western Cape Branch believes in promoting healthy life style choices and diabetes self-care, which is a vitally important and a cost-effective investment. People living with diabetes must be given the support and encouragement that gives them the means to do this. Treating diabetes complications is far more expensive than trying to ensure preventative measures are in place.
DSA has operated successfully as mainly volunteer run organization up to now, but cannot continue to do so if we are to successfully achieve our long-term objectives. There is an explosion of diabetes worldwide and developing countries like South Africa are the worst hit. It is imperative that we expand the programs and services offered by DSA, but to do this we need support and funding from individuals,
government and private corporations.
