Did you know what really happens when you lose just 1 pound of fat? 🤔

That’s 0.45kg leaving your body — and while it might sound small, the impact is HUGE.
Fat stored around your organs causes insulin resistance, making it harder for your body to handle blood sugar properly. This increases the risk of pre-diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, and other metabolic diseases.

đź’ˇ The good news? Every pound lost reduces that risk. Step by step, your body is thanking you.

You don’t need to run marathons to make a difference. Start simple:
🚶 Walk more (take the stairs, park farther away)
🥗 Choose foods with a low glycemic index to prevent blood sugar spikes
đź’Ş Stay active throughout the day, even with small movements

✨ Every little step counts. Don’t underestimate the power of gradual, consistent progress.

"Doctor, I don’t want to start insulin — does that mean my diabetes is now severe?"
We hear this every day at the clinic.
And we get it — insulin sounds scary. But here’s what most people don’t know:

👉🏽 Starting insulin doesn’t mean you’ve failed.
It means your body needs a little help — and that’s okay.

Just like how you'd wear glasses if your vision gets blurry...
Insulin is support, not punishment.

At Diabetes Consult, we help you understand your journey — without fear, shame, or judgment. Because when you know better, you do better.

There’s a dangerous myth going around — that herbs can cure Type 1 diabetes. ⚠ This is false and potentially life-threatening.

Type 1 diabetes is not caused by lifestyle or diet. It's an autoimmune condition where the pancreas stops producing insulin — and insulin is essential for survival.

No amount of herbs can replace insulin. Without insulin, blood sugar spikes dangerously, leading to diabetic ketoacidosis — a critical emergency that can be fatal.

🎯 Type 1 diabetes is managed with clinician-guided insulin therapy — not TikTok remedies or social media myths.

📢 Let’s stop spreading misinformation. Before you tell someone to "try herbs," ask yourself: Do I understand this condition? Could this advice cause harm?

💬 Have you or someone you know been told this myth? Let’s talk about it in the comments. Share to save a life.

🎥 How I started a diabetes clinic as a pharmacist… and how we’re still growing.

I didn’t have funding. I didn’t have a roadmap.
But I had a vision—and a passion to serve communities often left behind when it comes to diabetes care.

From that spark, a clinic was born.
Today, we’re a team of pharmacists, nurses, dietitians, and health professionals working together to make a difference—one patient at a time.

This video is a glimpse into how it started.
It’s for anyone who’s ever felt the pull to do more with what they know.

If you’re a healthcare professional thinking about starting something of your own, you don’t have to do it alone.

🤝 We’re open to conversations, partnerships, and sharing the journey.

Many people living with diabetes focus only on managing their blood sugar — but that’s just one part of the picture. Diabetes can affect multiple organs and systems in the body, often without obvious symptoms at first. That’s why regular health checks are essential.

There are 9 key tests every person with diabetes should know about and schedule regularly:

HbA1c test – to track long-term blood sugar control

Blood pressure check – to monitor for hypertension

Cholesterol test – to assess heart disease risk

Kidney function tests – to catch early signs of kidney damage

Foot examination – to prevent ulcers and infections

Eye screening (retinal exam) – to detect diabetic retinopathy

Liver function test – to monitor liver health

Dental check-up – to prevent gum disease

Weight/BMI check – to manage overall metabolic health

Knowing these tests and staying on top of them can help prevent serious complications down the line. Early detection saves lives. Don’t wait — get your full diabetes health check today."

Thinking of trying keto while on insulin?
Keto can drastically lower your blood sugar, and if you're on insulin, that combo can be risky — even dangerous. Hypoglycemia is no joke.

Always talk to your doctor or a dietitian before starting. You may need to adjust your insulin, meal timing, and blood sugar monitoring.

Curious about keto diets or have questions?
Drop "KETO DIET" in the comments and and we’ll reach out to support you.

This , let's shine a light on two game-changing technologies:

Insulin Pumps: Automated insulin delivery systems that provide precise dosing, flexibility, and convenience. They help regulate blood sugar levels, reducing highs and lows.

Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs): Wearable devices that track glucose levels in real-time, providing actionable insights and alerts. They help identify trends, patterns, and potential issues, enabling proactive management.

Together, these tools can:

- Improve glucose control
- Reduce complications
- Enhance quality of life

Let's celebrate the advancements in diabetes care and empower individuals to take control of their health!
