Welcome to Episode 52 of 'not ARTIFICIALLY Sweetened', THE podcast for both people living with diabetes and health professionals that facilitate diabetes care!
We are easy to find. Catch us on Spotify, Pocket Casts, Apple Podcasts or the LiSTN Audio App!
Once again, this Episode is brought to you in support of diabetes awareness and care by the CDE Online Pharmacy (https://cdeonline.co.za/), the online store of choice for people living with diabetes, and the new range of CDE MiWell™ (https://cdeonline.co.za/miwell/) Reduced Calorie products.
Whether you're living with diabetes or a health professional that facilitates diabetes care, you're in the right place! Join our journey, as we grow together in understanding, insight, and self-awareness to change lives for the better. Our deliberations are always honest, challenging and thought provoking. Nothing is off the table as we meet real people, discuss their real issues and stories, and together discover real answers to many vexing practical issues in diabetes and its care.
Stan and Michael discuss several advocacy issues including low income globally for diabetes specialists and the need to sustain advocacy efforts led by a few over-committed individuals. And, then don’t forget to screen for osteoporosis in older people with diabetes - the loss of height is a too-late indicator...
Advocacy message
This week, CDE Academy Administrator and person living with and advocating for diabetes, Elré Clarence, encourages health professionals to upskill themselves in diabetes care so that they can better advocate with and for people with diabetes
Our studio guest this week is Dr Kenalemang Kgoroeadira, fondly known as MamaKena.
MamaKena is an academic, culturalist and Indigenous Knowledge Systems expert, holding a PhD on the Philosophy of Education focussing on Indigenous Knowledge Systems. She is an experienced teacher, primary school and technical college principal, school book and teacher’s guide author, and local and international lecturer on Indigenous Knowledge Systems.
She won provincial and national female farmer of the year awards in 2014, and serves as a board member or consultant for several organisations.
From a uniquely African perspective we discover that:
Historically, Africa’s languages had no names to describe many modern lifestyle-related chronic health conditions like diabetes, cancer or stroke.
People used to be more active and often grew their own foods and foraged from the environment
Meat was far less frequently consumed than now
Indigenous grains like sorghum have been replaced with ‘mielies’
We no longer eat according to the rhythm of the seasons
Traditional medicines have been neglected
We all need to learn from our respective historical roots, “from the known to the unknown”
MamaKena also shares her contributions to farming and indigenous teaching and history, how she manages her own diabetes pairing modern and traditional herbal treatments, and her take on ‘faith’ and spirituality.
