Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has disclosed that he has been battling diabetes for the past 35 years.
Obasanjo made the disclosure at the closing ceremony of the Ogun State Diabetes Youth Development Camp, held in Abeokuta, Ogun state on Wednesday August 18.
The former President who reiterated that diabetes is not a killer disease, told children to abstain from consuming sugar, foods with carbohydrates and always take their insulin injection in order to manage the disease well.
He said;
“I have been diagnosed of diabetes for more than 35 years now and here I am, I’m still going about, I’m still jumping up and down, I’m still doing many things many people of my age cannot do.
“Since I was diagnosed of diabetes, a number of my friends have died and the reason is because they just did not manage their diabetes the way they should manage it.
“It does not matter whether you are type one or type two, so far there is no cure for diabetes, maybe there will be cure before I die, but I pray that there will be cure before you die.
“You have to understand the type of food you should eat, you must completely abstain from sugar. The amount of carbohydrates that you take must be watched.
“Don’t miss your drugs, in your own case, your insulin injection, I take my drugs along with me everywhere I go and I always check my blood sugar level regularly.
“Don’t let anybody put fear in your minds, diabetes, has no cure for now, but it can be managed.”
You just announced your death.
OGA you're in money, you're equal to the task. So many die because of poor resources

Congratulations sir, but it's not everyone in this country that's lucky enough to have the country's resources at their disposal to tackle whatever illness they have. You've been there since the sixties. I wish you used the opportunity God gave you to make the health sector better than the way you met it, so that we too can survive. God dey.

Ebora owu is able to manage his diabetes for 35yrs because he has such resources to take care of himself both here and abroad. Ebora and his cohorts have shared Nigeria's oil bloc amongst themselves and they can boast the way they like. Get your inner circle of looters and fix the health sector so that other people who have been diagnosed of any diseases can access better health care services and not the glorified primary health care centers you guys built all over the place calling it ''general hospital and teaching hospital. The other day Rtd Gen Theophilus Danjuma said he doesn't know what else to do with $500m dollars after selling off one of his oil bloc. You guys have plundered the resources meant for every nigerians and you are all comfortable gallivanting up and down the universe. Time will tell I can assure you guys. I rest my case.
I hear you sir, wishing you many more years ahead
Really? do you want us to tell you sorry or curse you? may your silver perish with you.
