Health Official Calls for Greater Action in Managing Diabetes

Diabetics across the island are being urged to take a more proactive role in managing their health.

Medical Officer Dr. Valentine issued a strong appeal for individuals living with the condition to integrate regular physical activity into their daily routines.

Speaking at a recent symposium, Dr. Valentine Chikelu emphasized that regular movement remains one of the most effective, yet underutilized, tools in preventing blood sugar from spiking.

The appeal comes amid growing concern over the prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Montserrat. Health authorities have consistently highlighted diabetes as a major contributor to chronic illness and hospital admissions.
