Sudan has a total population of 40.2 million and is classified as a lower-middle-income country. Diabetes mortality is high, particularly among adults aged 30-69 and 70+, with approximately 1,500 male and 1,260 female diabetes deaths for ages 30-69, and 1,080 male and 1,320 female deaths for ages 70+. However, mortality estimates have high uncertainty due to lack of national data. Diabetes accounts for a significant proportion of deaths, with around 20% overall in adults, compared to other causes like cancers and cardiovascular diseases. The age-standardized diabetes prevalence is 6.6%, with risk factors including high overweight (25% overall) and obesity rates (6.6%), while physical inactivity data is unavailable. The national response includes partially implemented diabetes guidelines but lacks a comprehensive strategy for reducing overweight, physical inactivity, or a diabetes registry; healthcare facilities have basic diabetes medicines and technologies like blood glucose measurement, but advanced care like renal replacement therapy is limited.
