WORLD DIABETES DAY 2018: ELDER LEKE ABEJIDE CALLS ON CONSTITUENTS TO CREATE MORE AWARENESS.

Diabetes  Is  One Of The Worst Health Problems That Affects Most Family And Kill Them Very Fast

Every 14th of November is always a special day as it was denoted to create awareness about a disease that has proven to be one of the worst killer in the world and our immediate environment as it affect most family.

As we are planning to reposition our dear Yagba Federal Constituency through proper representation, it is imperative to express our concerns about the health status of our constituents most especially those who have been affected by diabetes or prone to be affected by the disease by creating the necessary awareness on how to discover, prevent or manage it.

Diabetes as a whole is a disease where the blood sugar level tends to be high because the body insufficiently produce insulin (Type 1) or because the body cells are  not responding to the insulin produced (Type 2)

The type 2 is the most common and factors like obesity, age, diet, family history,alcoholism, lack of physical activities can make someone to be affected by diabetes.

Warning signs of diabetes include lacking of energy, drinking a lot liquid substances, wetting the bed, urinating a lot, Weight loss, constant sweating and un healing wounds.

However, it can be prevented by avoiding the risk factors, looking out for the warning signs and living in an environment that support healthy lifestyles.

The major treatment requires daily monitoring, education, healthy lifestyles, drugs and visiting your health care provider regularly.

I urge us all to always look out for our neighbors as a YAGBA FAMILY,  and help one another in the preventing, educating and management of this deadly disease.
