Tackling Diabetes in Saudi Arabia!

According to recent data, there are around 4.2 million diabetic patients in Saudi Arabia, with an estimated 1.8 million cases going undiagnosed. As we work to build a better future for our children, it is critical that we address this important issue and take proactive steps to prevent diabetes from spreading in our communities.

Obesity, sedentary urban lives, and a lack of physical activity are the primary causes of diabetes in Saudi Arabia. To address this epidemic, a comprehensive approach combining novel medicines, tailored care solutions, educational initiatives, and public-private partnerships is required.

I feel optimistic to see the progress that has already been done in the kingdom, where the pharmaceutical industry is harnessing global knowledge to produce cutting-edge medications and solutions in line with the Vision 2030 healthcare goals. This dedication is revolutionizing diabetes care and greatly increasing patient outcomes.

In addition, the digitalization of diabetes care is changing the way we approach therapy. Patients now have access to modern technologies that improve their regular management, such as smart insulin pens and computerized titration solutions. These technological improvements also assist healthcare personnel, who receive full patient insights and the capacity to work remotely, resulting in better medical judgments and enhanced control levels.
