Great news comes for Diabetics across Pakistan from
Lahore. The Diabetes Wellness Centre, all set to
launch on the 28th of December 2014 in Lahore,
brings the revolutionary Insulin Pump Therapy and
the innovative Medtronic Insulin Pumps and
Continues Glucose Monitoring (CGM) devices to
Pakistan.
An insulin pump is a small device about the size of a
small cell phone that is worn externally and can be
discreetly clipped to your belt, slipped into a pocket, or hidden under your clothes. It delivers
precise doses of rapid-acting insulin to closely match your body’s needs. The CGM ability of
these devices allows the device to closely monitor the glucose rate in the body and when an
insulin shot is needed without the constant need of pricking your fingers.
This is great news for Type 1 Diabetics where the body’s own immune system destroys the
insulin-producing cells of the pancreas. Without the production of insulin the body cannot
effectively absorb glucose for its various needs, leading to massive blood sugar build-up and no
satisfactory input from glucose can lead to massive energy crashes and fatigue. The CGM and
Insulin Pump device keeps a close look on the glucose rate in the blood and gives an insulin shot
without the patient having to get daily shots by a third person or constantly monitoring their
glucose levels.
Diabetes is the fastest growing disease in the world with Juvenile Diabetes a very real concern.
In the light of this raging epidemic and childhood obesity thanks to readily available fast-food a
Diabetes Wellness Centre dedicated to creating awareness and fighting the disease head-on with
innovative and revolutionary technology is a God send.
“I have been working with Medtronic devices for over a decade and they are so frequently used
in diabetic patient care abroad that it came as a shock that they were not readily available in
Pakistan. It is my mission to make the Diabetes Wellness Centre the pioneer of innovative
diabetic treatment and to change the way we not only treat diabetes but how we view it. I am a
firm believer that diabetes can either be your best friend, or your greatest enemy; the choice is
yours.” – Dr. Fauzia Moyeen.
The Diabetes Wellness Centre is set to open its doors at 200-Y Block, Commercial Area, DHA
in Lahore on the 28th of December 2014. For further details visit
