rs. Our doctor Wanjara takes always care of his patients. This is a diabetes patient, that is glad to see the doctor. Her sugar level was stable for two days. Usuallly the sugar level goes up again, when they return home and do not follow a strict diet anymore. It is also sometimes a question of money to buy the correct food. In Kenya we have a lot of diabetes patients, many of theme being children. Often they don't know about their situation and when they realize it, it is too late to help substantially. During the day many people suffer of inactivity and in the evening they have a big meal with Ugali (white corn) which is not good for them, especially before going to bed. I already had many discussions with the patients concerning food and diet but it is hard to convince them that a variety of vegetables and salads are of paramount importance to have a balanced diet.
