Day 3
Today we held a medical clinic in the morning at the New Mission Health Clinic and hosted a Diabetes Health Event in the afternoon. So many lives touched today thru health assessments, medication administration and education!
We saw lots of sick children - whom in our country - would probably be hospitalized. This little boy was so sweet. His whole family was very sick!
This lady came to the Diabetic Education event. When she checked in her blood sugar was almost 600. We advised her to go to the hospital but just like most, she did not. She did stay for the whole event and hopefully, took home lots of good information. At the end, we gave participants a free glucose monitor. She was so thankful as she had not been checking her blood sugars!
We taught them the importance of checking blood sugars, healthy weight, easy exercises, proper nutrition, medication management and so much more! They all were very interested in helping their diabetes! One gentleman had almost no feeling or circulation to his lower legs and several had wounds of their feet from neuropathy!
Each day after a hard days work...we ended with a beautiful sunset!
Makes me very thankful for what we have!
