Pregnancy-induced diabetes (Gestational Diabetes Mellitus) affects an estimated 2%–10% of pregnant women in Kenya, a reminder of why awareness matters.

As we mark Diabetes Month this November 14th, it is necessary to highlight the impact diabetes has on both mothers and their infants.

Diabetes occurs when blood sugar levels become too high, and early detection is key to protecting the health of both mom and baby.

Let’s stay informed and encourage regular screening.
