**4.3 Guidelines**

The continent lacks adequate guidelines with local evidence to run diabetes care. Hence, most of the guidelines used are European oriented and hence difficult to adopt and apply to the African environment. The continent still uses the acute care model; however, the chronic care model is still difficult in a setting where most of the conditions are infectious. The existing models are childhood oriented but not for adolescents, and they focus on children's pictures. The young medics prefer electronic ones, which are difficult to use when there is no electricity, and limited digital office infrastructure deploys the use.
