This rise is driven by a combination of biological, social, and economic factors, many of which are unique to the region and contribute to distinct and emerging clinical phenotypes that require context specific approaches. Current challenges include a scarcity of high-quality country data sources, weak healthcare infrastructure leading to delayed diagnosis, limited access to essential medicines and devices, and a high burden of diabetes-related complications. https://www.thelancet.com/series-do/diabetes-in-sub-saharan-africa?dgcid=hubspot_update_feature_landiadiabetesafrica26&utm_campaign=update-landia&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_qMeNU1clHkkpT68WoffUBcnExG68-HHPN55aTPbpfxH97cnG4DOQBwyC6U8hxGEauTxMnV3a-3bqePIOrycLa5KepQA&_hsmi=416172491&utm_content=416166342&utm_source=hs_email May 2026 Volume 14Number 5p363-436, e8 https://www.thelancet.com/journals/landia/issue/vol14no5/PIIS2213-8587(26)X2003-4
