Whose Standards Are We Chasing? Rethinking Diabetes Targets in Low-Resource Settings

-

Let’s talk about a brutal truth: the global diabetes care playbook was not written with the Global South in mind. It was written in boardrooms, clinics, and conference halls in cities equipped with continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), insulin pumps, closed-loop systems, and endocrinology specialists on speed dial. And then—without pause—it was handed down to us as the gold standard. But here’s the kicker: while the benchmarks are aspirational, the tools to achieve them remain locked behind the towering walls of inequality. For people living with diabetes in Africa and across many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), the standard of care set by high-income countries (HICs) is not just unreachable—it’s stigmatizing. Take “Time in Range” (TIR), for instance. It’s a concept that makes perfect sense when you’re wearing a CGM and adjusting basal rates on an insulin pump. But when you’re injecting premixed insulin twice a day without a glucometer or test strips, it becomes an abstract met...

From Diagnosis to Determination: Rejoice's Journey with Type 1 Diabetes

  Rejoice Tsingano I can still vividly remember the pivotal moment in 2018 when I stood in front of the mirror and noticed something startling: my school uniform no longer fit as it once did. "Wait a second, did I just lose some weight?" I asked myself, drawing closer to the mirror to confirm. To my surprise and delight, I had indeed shed a few pounds—a goal I had long aspired to achieve. Little did I know that this unexpected weight loss was a signal of something far more serious. My name is Rejoice Tsingano, and I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes on August 8, 2018. But let me take you back a bit further. Two months before my diagnosis, I began to notice the first symptoms: rapid weight loss and a dramatic change in my complexion, which had become so light that people around me speculated I might be bleaching my skin. All of this unfolded while I was attending boarding school in Zvishavane during vacation lessons, preparing for my final O-level exams. Had I been at home, p...

My Hybrid Closed-Loop Journey: Lessons, Laughter, and Lifelong Gratitude

-

Omnipod Eros & Dexcom G6 Four months ago, I embarked on a hybrid closed-loop journey, armed with an Omnipod Eros, Omnipod Dash, Medtronic pump, Freestyle Libre 2, Dexcom one, and Dexcom G6, and the unwavering support of my closest friends in the diabetes DIY community. If you had told me a year ago that I’d be managing my diabetes with a fully integrated loop system, I probably would have laughed—partly in disbelief and partly because, let’s be honest, technology and I have had a complicated relationship. Yet, here I am, looping away like a tech-savvy T1D warrior, all thanks to the relentless kindness, generosity, and “we’ll-make-it-happen” attitude of some truly incredible people. From “Would You Wear a Pump?” to “Here’s Everything You Need” Medtronic 754 It all started with a simple yet life-changing message: "Hey Tino, if you’ll come to ISPAD, tell me what I can ‘collect’ for you that you are using for your personal T1D management. I’ll be happy to share what I can.” Imagin...
