The need for a type 1 diabetes scorecard

The article reviews the urgent need to address diabetes in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where prevalence is rising rapidly. It discusses barriers such as limited access to care, low health literacy, and resource constraints that hinder effective prevention and management. The authors call for scaling up community-based interventions, improving health system capacity, and investing in public education. They emphasize that targeted, collaborative strategies are essential to curb the growing diabetes epidemic in LMICs.
