"The prevalence of diabetes in South Africa is very high. Currently 2.4 (m) million people have diabetes, which is five percent of the population. However five percent are the people known to have diabetes. When you look at how many people are living with diabetes, without ever being diagnosed, because they are not aware of the signs and symptoms of diabetes, then we estimate one in five South Africans has diabetes."
