Shehzadi, a 48-year-old resident of Gharibabad Market, struggled with Diabetes for over five years. Despite regular visits to a nearby general practitioner, she was never advised proper lab tests or provided with effective management strategies. Her health deteriorated as she neglected dietary modifications and medication adjustments, leaving her with an alarming HbA1c level of 12.8% and a disrupted lipid profile.
It was through her neighbors, already registered at SHINE Humanity’s Diabetes Clinic, that Shehzadi learned about the specialized care available. Feeling encouraged, she visited the clinic in hopes for better care and guidance. With guidance from our team, she gradually adopted lifestyle changes, improved her diet, and adhered to proper medication regimens.
Today, Shehzadi has made remarkable progress. Her recent HbA1c test showed a significant drop to 8.0%, reflecting improved Diabetes control. Grateful for SHINE Humanity’s support, she credits their counseling and free medication for giving her a new lease on life.
Shehzadi’s story is a testament to the power of health education and accessible healthcare in transforming lives.
SHINE Humanity's Diabetes, Hypertension and Hyperlipidemia Program supports over 800 registered patients in rural Sindh, ensuring they receive free medications and regular follow-ups to manage their health effectively. Through a wide range of diagnostic tests at highly subsidized cost SHINE Humanity provides accessible, essential healthcare to those who need it most.
A key component of our services is nutritional counseling, which plays a vital role in helping patients make informed choices for better Diabetes management. This comprehensive and holistic approach not only addresses immediate medical needs but also focuses on fostering long-term health and well-being for our community.
