                                Diabetic Machine Drive-Patrick Delves

 

A diabetic machine, also known as a blood glucose, monitor or glucometer, is an essential device for people living with diabetes to regularly check and manage their blood sugar levels. Designed for accuracy, speed, and ease of use, a quality diabetic machine helps users track glucose readings at home or on the go, ensuring better diabetes control and prevention of complications. Popular among diabetes patients in Nigeria and worldwide, these devices often feature digital displays, memory storage for past readings, and compatibility with test strips for quick results. Investing in a reliable diabetic machine is crucial for effective diabetes management, enabling timely medical decisions and a healthier lifestyle.

This post is for diabetic machines! I just took a patient to the Spiegel Imaging center (where I work) and noticed a lady outside saying she was not feeling well.

Turned out she has diabetes. I always walk with both a high blood pressure and a diabetes machine in my bag, and decided to check this lady’s sugar level, which read 545 mg dl.

Now her sugar being that high will not only damage her kidneys, eyes, heart, and nerves, but can also cause death. So, people who are diabetic, please invest in a machine so you can check your sugar levels. It saves your life.

We had to get her insulin shots to bring that level down, so please, if you have diabetes, take precautions to keep your sugar level in balance, as it can save you from complications.

Many poor people cannot afford a machine, and those are the people at a higher risk of losing a limb. So let us create a drive to help those who can’t afford a machine to get them one, as we are our brothers and sisters’ keepers. Blessed love.
