The lack of proper management of type 2 diabetes can lead to serious health consequences affecting a person's daily life and work. Two out of every three diabetics are diagnosed with hypertension, which increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, vision loss, nerve damage, and kidney disease. In Guatemala, Mayan indigenous populations are disproportionately affected due to a lack of access to healthy foods, medical treatment, and equipment to monitor blood sugar and hypertension.![]()
