Regular doctor\u2019s visits are essential for diabetic patients. However, often complications from untreated diabetes result in the amputation of a lower limb, which makes it extremely challenging to transport patients to the hospital.<\/p>\n

Nurse G\u00e9raldina Tom\u00e9, Rev. Jo\u00e3o Djalo and Ms. Artemisa Lopes regularly do home visits to amputee patients that have been followed by the joint AAPDGB and ASLUCODIABETES-GB teams since their hospitalization. On those occasions, patients receive advice on how to follow a suitable diet and keep their blood sugar levels in check, as well as medical assistance for complications related to the amputation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Esther is 17 years old, she has suffered from asthma and diabetes for three years now. Her adoptive father explains to us that the young girl’s state of health has significantly improved after being taken care of by the association, which provides them with insulin and the appropriate equipment to stabilize her condition.

Lassana is 13 years old, she was referred to our association in 2017 by the Sim\u00e3o Mendes National Hospital, following several visits to intensive care.

Fatoumata is 19 years old and has only been followed for a few months by the association. This young girl was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 15. Being an orphan, she says she checks her health and gives herself insulin injections every day. Although her condition is now stable, she still has some after-effects due to the lack of care for several years, in particular a loss of mobility in her legs.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
