Diabetes Treatment in South Africa
In South Africa, the diabetes treatment landscape is complex and different strategies are used to manage the condition. Diabetes self-management education (DSME) programs are one of the most popular approaches for treating diabetes in South Africa. DSME programs comprise a set of activities that help people with diabetes understand and control their disease successfully. These include educating individuals about the condition and its management, as well as teaching them how to self-monitor their blood sugar levels and make lifestyle modifications.
Diabetes care teams are also involved in providing diabetes treatment in South Africa, typically made up of a doctor, nurse, dietitian, and other healthcare professionals. Diabetes medications may also be prescribed for those who require additional support in managing the condition. Successful diabetes treatment requires ongoing support and information to help people with diabetes live healthy lives.
Diabetes charities and groups such as Diabetes South Africa strive to provide a range of educational materials and resources for individuals living with the condition in South Africa, as well as connecting people who are affected by diabetes. These initiatives are invaluable in supporting people with diabetes in South Africa and helping them to achieve better outcomes.

Our Patients Are Redefining Success
“I had been struggling with diabetes for over 10 years and was always looking for something to help me manage it. After hearing about MantraCare in South Africa, I decided to give it a try. It has changed my life for the better. Their approach is holistic, looking at diet and lifestyle as well as medicines and therapies. They helped me make changes to my diet that reduced my sugar levels, as well as giving advice on exercise and stress management. Their team of doctors and counselors was incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. I felt like they really cared about helping me manage my diabetes in a safe way and achieve better health overall. The medications they prescribed were effective and had minimal side effects. I am now able to manage my diabetes with ease, and feel healthier than before. I cannot thank the team at MantraCare enough for their help and support! They have helped me take control of my diabetes and live a better life. Highly recommended!”

Frequently Asked Questions
When blood sugar or glucose levels are too high, diabetes develops. Insulin is a hormone that aids the movement of glucose from meals into your cells for energy. The body’s production of insulin or its use of insulin might be insufficient at times. Glucose is able to get into cells and remain in the blood as a result. Blood sugar levels rise as a consequence.
There are three primary types of diabetes: Type 1, Type 2, and gestational diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is caused by the immune system’s attack on the cells that manufacture insulin, a hormone that aids in the utilization and storage of glucose. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body’s ability to use insulin is lost. Gestational diabetes is a disease that pregnant women get when their bodies aren’t able to create and utilize insulin properly during pregnancy.
Diabetes is treated by MantraCare with a mobile app intervention, health coach sessions, physician visits, and medicine. Our health coaches in South Africa work with you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to treat diabetes using a healthy diet, exercise, and medication.
