Advice for fellow diabetics: As you may be aware Covid 19 is especially dangerous for people with diabetes. This has been known from the early days in Jan to Mar this year. Closer to home, Bob Mtekama was the latest diabetic to succumb to the pandemic. My advice is with regard to medicine. If you’re doing everything right but your readings are not going down, it could be due to the medicine (Metformin) which you are taking. Try to switch from Indian made to German made metformin. You may already be aware that most medicine is fake, in the sense that it does not concern the quantities of medicine shown on the covering. This is commonly known in the case of malaria medicine; but it seems to be true for diabetes medicine as well.
When I switched to German made metformin (made by “Denk”) I noticed a change within just one day! Although it is about three times the cost of Indian metformin I think it is worth every tambala. If you or a relative is complaining about sugar readings not coming down, try taking the Denk version instead, even if just for short period and compare the readings. Another important thing to remember is to always take small portions of meals. The motto that every diabetic is supposed to live by is: “No feasting; no fasting!”
Frank, Frank thank you very much for giving us a little back from the bulk you took from us during your shady and unsteady business – and political career! We don’t want to go in details, But we know and you know even better!
We all know the real purpose for your gracious gift, a by-election in your last year’s lost constituency is coming up! My advice, if you want to gain true credibility than please stay away from it!
Thanks
Frank well done. You have always been compassionate to suffering of our people. God bless you.
