The Western Cape Department of Health says the Diabetes type 2 is the leading cause of death in this province.

Western Cape Government Health has urged members of the public to visit their clinic and ask to have their glucose levels tested.

Principal Communications Officer of the Western Cape Government Health Jo-Anne Otto said people should visit clinics on a regular basis.

Jo-Anne said sometimes symptoms are not always there and some people can detect this by having blurred visions and others can have a normal life only to find that they have diabetes.
