Towards National Health Strategy for the Prevention and Control of Diabetes by 2030

Abstract

Improving diabetes management and prevention strategies is a critical public health priority in Saudi Arabia. With a rising prevalence of diabetes, understanding the key factors affecting its incidence is essential for both healthcare providers and the community. Current methods of diabetes screening often rely on basic approaches, such as blood sugar testing and physical examinations, which may overlook early clinical signs. There is a pressing need to integrate advanced techniques, such as digital health tools and community-based interventions, to enhance disease detection and management. Traditional methods may fail to identify subtle cases or those without prominent symptoms, resulting in late diagnoses and increased complications. By adopting a more comprehensive approach that includes educational initiatives and innovative health technologies, we can better address the diabetes epidemic and improve health outcomes across the population.
