CHIEF O. A.(FROM LEKKI)

In February 2019, I returned from the UK, where consultants at the best hospitals confirmed and completely discharged me as a diabetic patient. Since then, I have never had high sugar issues. However, within the last year, I started battling with hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).

I went back to the UK, and instead of a permanent solution, I was given a device to fix on my hand to monitor the situation and help me notice when I was heading towards hypoglycemia. Despite this, the low sugar episodes started deteriorating, increasing from happening every two weeks to a daily occurrence, and eventually, every thirty minutes.

On one of the days, Mrs. Nancy Ogboi came to visit my wife and witnessed one of these episodes. She immediately volunteered to give me a 250ml freshly juiced pineapple. Thereafter, she gave me a lecture on fruit juices, advising me to take at least 250ml, three to four glasses a day.

To my greatest surprise, since August 16th, 2023, my blood sugar has stabilized. I have maintained this regime and have been living happily ever after.
