In light of creating awareness of World Diabetes Day, October for Modern Science and Arts University (MSA University) and The Sustainable Development Committee of the Faculty of Dentistry implemented an initiative to analyze sugar for 300 patients in all clinics of the Faculty of Dentistry and 60 faculty members and university employees.
The initiative was implemented under the supervision of Dr. Mona Abdel Muttalib, a consultant in general internal medicine and clinical nutrition, who followed up on the results of the patients' sugar analysis and provided them with the necessary instructions to deal with their health condition. She also gave awareness lectures about diabetes, its types, symptoms, complications, and treatment methods.
In addition, Dr. Mona explained the importance of proper healthy nutrition, sports, and maintaining weight in the face of diabetes. And finally, Dr. Mona presented glucose meters as a gift from the company sponsoring the event to some patients and university staff who suffer from diabetes, after a draw was made for these devices.
