Abstract
The aim of this research is to explain the current level of nursing care for people with diabetes in Nigeria, as well as the numerous challenges involved in providing appropriate nursing care. The main issue discovered was a lack of specialized diabetes nursing education, which should serve as the foundation for nurses working in endocrinology settings. Other issues include insufficient diabetes nursing care facilities and a lack of dedicated diabetes centers, which forces diabetes patients to be, managed in general wards. It is therefore recommended that a strong framework be put in place, such as the establishment of diabetes training schools and the development and strengthening of the nursing curriculum, which has a high potential for improving nurses’ knowledge and abilities to care for people with diabetes in Nigeria.
