Stopping Diabetes

Most diabetic patients in Nigeria are afraid to eat readily available foods due to fear that their blood sugar will shoot up after meals. Often, they eat beans or its alternatives and unripe plantain only.

This self-induced malnutrition contributes to their weight loss.

This e-book uses a story format ( a dialogue between Dr Chima and Mr Gbade) to address the fears of diabetic individuals. The following are some of the contents of the book.
