Diabetes: The Load Shedding of our Health is a powerful call to awareness, responsibility, and change, and a voice for those who have suffered in silence. Dr Manenzhe delivers a deeply human and unflinchingly honest account of one of the greatest health crises of our time. Drawing from years of engaging with healthcare professionals, people living with diabetes and the general public across South Africa, in rural clinics, township health posts and over-crowded urban hospitals, this book reveals the hidden cost of diabetes beyond blood sugar readings and prescriptions.
Using the metaphor of load shedding or a blackout, Dr Manenzhe illustrates how diabetes quietly deprives the body of energy when education, access, and support are lacking. Diabetes strikes silently, gradually dims lives, and often causes devastating damage before it is recognised. Through the personal stories of mothers, grandfathers, teenagers, nurses, and communities, the book demonstrates that diabetes is not a disease confined to wealth or age, but one found in villages, townships, and cities alike.Combining medical science with compassion and social insights, this book goes beyond diagnosis to address poverty, broken systems, lack of education, stigma, and silence. It's not a book of despair, but one of responsibility and hope, meant to be shared, discussed, and taken into communities. This book is a movement to break the silence, because remaining silent is no longer an option.
