You&#8217;re not too young to start making better choices for your health.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Diabetes is the second leading cause of death in South Africa after tuberculosis, affecting millions across the country. While historically associated with older people, Type 2 diabetes is increasingly striking younger individuals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-in-the-past-financial-year-diabetes-screenings-at-city-clinics-for-the-18-to-44-age-group-rose-by-just-over-4-to-132-518-identifying-425-new-diabetes-patients\">In the past financial year, diabetes screenings at City clinics for the 18 to 44 age group rose by just over 4% to 132 518, identifying 425 new diabetes patients.<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>This year&#8217;s World Diabetes Day theme, &#8220;Diabetes and the Workplace&#8221;, emphasises that with proper care, education and support, people living with diabetes can thrive at home, in their communities and at work.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-prevention-starts-with-daily-choices\">Prevention starts with daily choices<br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Health experts stress that diabetes prevention begins with everyday decisions across all life stages. Young people should choose water over sugary drinks, eat fruits and vegetables, maintain a high-fibre diet and stay active to build lifelong healthy habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adults need to manage stress, avoid excessive fast food and eat balanced meals to maintain healthy weight and prevent chronic diseases. Older residents should continue eating balanced meals and staying active to support blood sugar control and overall vitality.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-workplace-support-crucial\">Workplace support crucial<br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Employers play a vital role in supporting staff health, officials say. Companies can create supportive work environments that promote physical activity and access to healthy meals, encourage regular health screenings and wellness days, and ensure staff have access to mental health support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"52046\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/city-of-cape-town-macyo-member-encourages-more-urban-farming-20230208\/fd2cca963c434674a16b1009bd9f26ca\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/fd2cca963c434674a16b1009bd9f26ca.jpeg\" data-orig-size=\"810,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"fd2cca963c434674a16b1009bd9f26ca\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Vegetables&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;The vegetable gardens in Suikerbossie Park is an example of productive urban farming in a City Park.
