Watsons takes holistic approach to Filipinos’ diabetes care

WORLD Diabetes Day is held annually on Nov. 14, but the entire month of November is a dedicated period on “Early action on diabetes,” which emphasizes early diagnosis, risk reduction for Type 2 diabetes and timely access to care. Among Filipinos, an estimated 4.7 million adults are living with diabetes, and more than half remain undiagnosed, making it a significant health concern in the country. According to the latest Philippines Statistics Authority data, diabetes mellitus is the fifth leading cause of death in the Philippines at 5.9 percent – after ischaemic heart diseases such as coronary heart disease/heart attacks which accounted for 21.2 percent of registered deaths of 23, 448 from January to March 2026; neoplasms or cancers, representing roughly 9.9 percent of deaths; cerebrovascular diseases or strokes at 9.6 percent; and pneumonia at 8.0 percent. Diagnosis — only the beginning Managing diabetes requires daily commitment — from taking prescribed medications and monitoring blood sugar to making lifestyle adjustments and attending regular checkups. As the country’s leading health and wellness retailer, Watsons believes diabetes care must extend beyond the numbers.

By providing practical guidance and addressing everyday concerns, they help make diabetes care more manageable and accessible. “Diabetes management goes beyond keeping blood sugar levels in check. It requires early detection, proper medication, healthy lifestyle choices, regular monitoring and attention t overall health, including blood pressure and cholesterol. Patients should also understand their condition, develop healthy coping habits, and work closely with their healthcare team. With the right knowledge, consistent self-care, and support, patients can reduce their risk of complications and enjoy a better quality of life,” said Dr. Fatma Tiu, president of Diabetes Philippines Inc. Beyond physical health, Watsons also recognizes the emotional challenges of managing a lifelong condition.

We are reshaping community-based support so that expert guidance, preventive screening, and ongoing care become seamlessly integrated into everyday life, helping ensure no patient feels like they have to navigate their health journey in isolation,” Watsons Philippines Managing Director Danilo Chiong said.
