About the Founder

When I was first diagnosed with diabetes mellitus (diabetes for short) in 1984, I did not attach any importance to the diagnosis.

Stock Taking and Vision for 2019 - 2021

The Centre has been able to come this far through its dedicated, integrated and progressive need-focused designed programs for which we received appreciable support from our collaborators and more especially from World DiabetesFoundation (WDF) for its part funding of our 2years (2016-2018) WDF15-1257 project:Enhancing Diabetes Education and Care in Ogun State.

Our experiences over the years, especially the past five years have made it abundantly clear to us that: backing-up AWARENESS with appropriate ACTIONS will give the desired goal of PREVENTION and INFORMED EFFECTIVE SELF-MANAGEMENT REGIMEN. It is therefore of utmost importance to us to ensure the sustainability of the gains of these past years. This, among other things, will engage our attention for the next five years—2019-2023.
