World Diabetes Day: What You Need to Know About Diabetes

Diabetes is one of the fastest-growing health challenges globally, and Nigeria is not left out. At Health Assur HMO, we believe that awareness is the first step toward prevention and better management. Let’s break it down in simple terms.

What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a chronic condition that occurs when your blood sugar (glucose) is too high because your body either:

Doesn’t produce enough insulin (a hormone that helps glucose enter your cells), or
Can’t use insulin effectively (insulin resistance).

Glucose comes from the food you eat and is your body’s main source of energy. When this process fails, sugar builds up in your blood, leading to complications like heart disease, kidney failure, vision loss, and nerve damage.

What Diabetes is NOT

It’s not contagious – you can’t “catch” diabetes from someone else.
It’s not caused by eating sugar alone – while sugary diets can lead to weight gain (a risk factor), diabetes is influenced by genetics, lifestyle, and other factors.

Types of Diabetes

Type 1 Diabetes – An autoimmune condition where the body attacks insulin-producing cells. Usually diagnosed in children or young adults.
Type 2 Diabetes – The most common type, often linked to lifestyle factors like poor diet, inactivity, and obesity.
Gestational Diabetes – Occurs during pregnancy and increases the risk of Type 2 diabetes later in life.
Prediabetes – Blood sugar is higher than normal but not yet diabetes. This is your warning sign.

How Do People Get Diabetes?

Genetics – Family history matters.
Lifestyle – Poor diet, lack of exercise, and obesity increase risk.
Age – Risk rises after 45, but younger people are increasingly affected.
Ethnicity – Africans have a higher predisposition to Type 2 diabetes.

Can Diabetes Be Prevented?
Yes, especially Type 2 diabetes. Here’s how:

Maintain a healthy weight – Losing just 5–7% of body weight can reduce risk.
Eat balanced meals – Focus on whole grains, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
Stay active – Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise weekly.

World Osteoporosis Day 2025

Today, October 20th, is World Osteoporosis Day, and this year’s global theme is loud and clear: “It’s Unacceptable!”

But what exactly is osteoporosis, and why should we care?

Osteoporosis is often called the “silent disease” because it weakens bones gradually and often goes unnoticed until a fracture occurs. It affects over 500 million people worldwide, yet up to 80% of those who suffer fractures never get diagnosed or treated. That’s not just unfortunate it’s unacceptable.

Why This Matters:

1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men over 50 will suffer an osteoporotic fracture in their lifetime.

These fractures can lead to chronic pain, loss of independence, and even premature death.

Despite being preventable and treatable, osteoporosis remains underdiagnosed and undertreated globally.

Wellness Activities: Your First Line of Defense

The good news? Osteoporosis is largely preventable, and wellness activities play a powerful role in protecting your bones:

- Weight-bearing exercises like walking, dancing, and resistance training stimulate bone growth and strength.

- Nutrition rich in calcium, vitamin D, and protein supports bone density.

- Sunlight exposure helps your body produce vitamin D naturally.

- Avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol reduces bone loss.

- Mind-body practices like yoga and tai chi improve balance and coordination, reducing fall risk.

Whether you're 25 or 65, your daily habits matter. Wellness isn’t just about feeling good it’s about building a body that can carry you strong into the future.

At Health Assur HMO, we believe that preventive care is powerful care. That’s why we’re stepping up to support the fight against osteoporosis by:

- Integrating bone health education into our wellness programs for women and older adults.

- Promoting early screening through our partner clinics and diagnostic centers.

- Encouraging active lifestyles via fitness and nutrition coaching in our digital health platforms.

We’re committed to ensuring that no one suffers in silence from a disease that can be prevented, managed, and treated.

Let’s Make Noise for the Silent Disease

This year’s campaign, led by the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF), is a call to action for governments, healthcare providers, and individuals to stop ignoring this global health crisis.

Because when it comes to preventable fractures and suffering “It’s Unacceptable!”
