Diabetes patients in Nigeria will now have a deep sigh of relief following the production and introduction of a new vaccine that could now cure the disease. The vaccine known as Insulin Pump could be effectively used for about 40 years by any patient.
The new vaccine was produced in 2013 in the USA and is now being used by thousands of people in the USA and across Africa especially in Nigeria.
A medical expert Dr. Hassan Bashir Jibril who is the Medical Director of the newly established Pinecastle Hospital in Gwarimpa Abuja for the diabetes patients in Nigeria said he relocated not too long ago in order to help towards stemming the disease in Nigeria.
He recalled that with the over one million diabetes patients particularly in Nigeria the Pinecastle Hospital will play a major role in the control of the disease at all levels just like it was done in the USA recently when the vaccine emerged.
Analyzing the immense benefits of the Insulin Pump, Dr. Hassan recalled that it will help its users in controlling the levels of their blood no matter the type of food they eat apart from being an effective weapon to fight all the complications associated with the diabetes disease such as diabetes blindness, gangrene, impotence, kidney failure, stroke, loss of sensation, heart ailments and weakness of the body.
Others are dehydration, open wounds, excessive fats, loss of memory, excessive sweat and general body pains which he said are usually discovered after thorough medical check-ups to diagnose patients properly.
According to Dr. Hassan users of the device could control their blood sugar levels automatically it either goes up or down to about 100 which he described as a serious issue and that this situation could be rectified through the use of the Insulin Pump regularly.
The medical expert therefore advised that patients should make use of the opportunities offered at the new Pinecastle Hospital to ascertain their status as many people were yet to be diagnosed properly.
Pinecastle Hospital which is known as Pinecastle Medtronic Centre for Africa is strategically located at No. 15 Fourteen Road, First Avenue, Gwarimpa in the heart of the FCT. It is centrally located and easily accessible to both motorists and other commuters. Its charges are very moderate with a human face since its management is determined to serve the community and humanity. [myad]
