The “Sugar under control” campaign we organised was met with great interest from residents – several dozen people took part in free tests. The campaign was connected with World Diabetes Day in November. On Saturday, November 28, our clinics in Kobierzyce and Ślęza were open to everyone who decided to check their body and take care of their health. A lot of people registered before the campaign, but there was also no shortage of people who came to the clinic spontaneously. Each patient received an individual test card, with which they reported to the nurse for tests of blood sugar level, blood pressure, abdominal circumference and BMI. Then, with the completed card, they went to a separate office for a consultation with a primary care physician. They could also talk about diabetes prevention, proper diet and lifestyle or the procedure in the event of the disease being detected. If the results suggested the need for further, more specialized treatment, it was possible to immediately make an appointment with a diabetologist or dietitian.
