The Kuwaiti Ministry of Health held an awareness event at The Avenues mall to mark World Diabetes Day, under the slogan “Early Detection of Diabetes.” The event offered tests for average blood sugar, blood pressure and body mass index, along with advice on nutrition and physical activity. Endocrinologist Dr. Salsabeel Al-Ansari said that around 25% of adults in Kuwait have diabetes, while nearly 20% are at the prediabetes stage. During the event’s first few hours, six people were found to have diabetes without knowing it. She warned that obesity and excess weight—which affect 75% to 76% of the population—are among the main risk factors, and stressed the importance of early screening, healthier eating and more physical activity to reduce complications.
