“…That is probably the reason for the scarcity of meta-analysis measuring the impact of interventions aimed to improve NCD management in SSA [ 80 ]. For instance, a recent systematic review on the role of CHWs treating diabetes in the United States [ 81 ] suggests that CHW interventions have significant impact in physical health outcomes. However, similar analysis of the interventions that are currently being developed in SSA would be an important contribution to inform policy makers about effective interventions for the improvement of diabetes care in the region.…”

Background Effective health systems are needed to care for the coming surge of diabetics in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Objective We conducted a systematic review of literature to determine the capacity of SSA health systems to manage diabetes. Methodology We used three different databases (Embase, Scopus, and PubMed) to search for studies, published from 2004 to 2017, on diabetes care in SSA. Results Fifty-five articles met the inclusion criteria, covering the different aspects related to diabetes care such as availability of drugs and diagnostic tools, the capacity of healthcare workers, and the integration of diabetes care into HIV and TB platforms. Conclusion Although chronic care health systems in SSA have developed significantly in the last decade, the capacity for managing diabetes remains in its infancy. We identified pilot projects to enhance these capacities. The scale-up of these pilot interventions and the integration of diabetes care into existing robust chronic disease platforms may be a feasible approach to begin to tackle the upcoming pandemic in diabetes. Nonetheless, much more work needs to be done to address the health system-wide deficiencies in diabetes care. More research is also needed to determine how to integrate diabetes care into the healthcare system in SSA.

“…Lay community health workers have been used in a variety of primary and community-based health-care settings for the delivery of disease prevention and self-management programs with the added advantage of peer support. [33][34][35] Our study found that the majority of food pantry personnel have adequate health literacy and many have a personal history of food assistance program use and/or a diagnosis with diabetes or hypertension, which makes these individuals ideal candidates for a similar peer support role in food pantry-based health programs. Furthermore, food bank-sponsored trainings for food pantry workers on health-related topics may be a natural extension for many food banks that have traditionally offered pantry personnel training programs, primarily on the topics of food safety [36][37][38] or building agency capacity, 36-39 though some provide nutrition education and healthful food stocking strategies to personnel.…”

Food pantries serve populations with high rates of chronic disease and thus may be ideal settings for community-based health promotion programs. This study aimed to describe the readiness of food pantry organizations (n = 69) and their personnel (n = 129) to engage in nutrition-focused food pantry services, including nutrition education and the application of dietary guidelines for disease prevention and management as components of existing food assistance programs. Among survey respondents, few personnel reported asking clients about chronic disease diagnoses or providing clients with nutrition education, and over half reported lower confidence in performing these activities. Yet, the majority were interested in training to address client health needs. However, organizational capacity is currently restricted by lack of nutrition policies and limited healthy food inventory, including fruits and vegetables. To address the nutritional needs of clients, food pantries may benefit from in-person training and additional resources to obtain and distribute healthier foods.

“…361 Apart from medical care, patients with diabetes with or without CKD may need advice, every now and then, from allied health care professionals, such as nurse educators, registered dietitians, physical trainers, social workers, psychologists, or pharmacists on how to cope with the condition on a daily basis. 362 In some patients with T2D, especially those with social disparity or emotional distress, psychosocial support from peers 363 and community health care workers 364 can also improve metabolic control, emotional well-being, and reduce hospitalizations.…”
