Mandela Washington Fellowship was one of the opportunities I carelessly missed in 2014 and I never stop telling that story every time i have the opportunity to prepare young minds.
I was one of those selected for the final interview, and that was one of the best interview of my life, painfully I missed that opportunity because I didn't have an international passport, a very vital requirement.

When the interviewer asked me to submit my passport at the end of a very interactive interview we had:

American female Interviewer: Can I have your passport

Me: I don't have one

The interviewer just shook her head and that was it, next is a sorry mail.

Here is an opportunity for you, dont miss it like i did.

If you are applying for this fellowship, ensure you are fully prepared. Wishing you luck.

Test such as FASTING BLOOD GLUCOSE, HBA1C, RANDOM BLOOD GLUCOSE, or 2HOURS POSTPRANDIAL only tells you the level of your blood glucose, whether normal, high, or low. These tests DONOT tell you the reason your blood glucose is high, and that's how the type of diabetes is known.

Sadly, a lot of learned people living with diabetes don't even know what most of the above mentioned test mean, but those are not today's concern because we have treated them a couple of times, if you just joined us, please find relevant articles and read up.

The two major types of diabetes are grouped according to the CAUSE of the high blood sugar in the blood.

The two major types are:
1. Type 1 diabetes
2. Type 2 diabetes

The laboratory tests that are used to differentiate both are :

1. C- Peptide test
2. Diabetes autoantibody tests:
a. GAD test
b. IA-2
c. Zinc copper transporter 8 (ZnT8)

Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase Autoantibody (GADA or Anti-GAD) test is the most commonly used autoantibody test to differentiate between type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

C-PEPTIDE TEST.

The pancreas releases C-peptide when it makes insulin. The C-peptide is a by-product from natural insulin production, and because the C-pepetide is released at same amount and time as the insulin and stays longer in the bloodstream it is used to measure the amount of natural insulin produced.

Interpretation of C-peptide test.

● Low/undetected C-peptide means low or no insulin production - type 1 diabetes

● High/normal C-peptide means the body is making naurl insulin, but the body cells are not responding to it- INSULIN RESISTANCE- Tpe diabetes.

Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase Autoantibody (GADA or Anti-GAD) test.

This is the most commonly used among the antibody tests. It tests for the specific immune proteins that attack and destroy the pancreatic cells.
Positive GADA/Anti- GAD test means TYPE 1 DIABETES.

Have you ever done any of these test or any of your loved ones managing their blood glucose level.

Again, WHAT TYPE OF DIABETES are managing?

Knowing the right type means the right management approach translating to positive results.

Copied from Doc Frank's wall

This 34-year-old mother was admitted during an obstetric emergency and had an urgent exploratory laparotomy for a ruptured uterus. Surviving the big surgery was already a huge challenge, but what happened days later on the ward became a whole new fight for her life.

Every single routine needle site places where intravenous lines were put in to give fluids and take blood on her arm, hand, neck, and leg, started swelling badly, breaking down, and releasing pus.
The medical image attached shows early signs of the reaction

The site on her left upper arm got worse very fast and turned into full-blown Necrotizing Fasciitis, a dangerous infection that destroys flesh and spreads through the deep tissue layers. Due to meta community guidelines on graphic surgical images, the full picture showing the extent of the necrotizing fasciitis has rather been shared in the comment section.

How can a routine, sterile cannula turn into melting tissue on several limbs in a 34-year-old?
When a patient gets aggressive infections in many places from small skin pricks, it means their immune defense has completely failed. An urgent random blood sugar test showed a very high 19.5 mmol/L, which revealed severe Diabetes Mellitus that had never been diagnosed before. This was a Newly Diagnosed Diabetes Mellitus Type 2.

During her whole pregnancy, she had been living with high blood sugar without knowing it because she missed her routine Antenatal Care (ANC) visits. Without regular antenatal check-ups where simple blood and urine tests are done, her diabetes stayed hidden like a silent time bomb until a simple cannula caused a severe breakdown in her body’s defense.

When blood sugar levels are dangerously high, the immune system’s first responders , the white blood cells, become weak. They lose their ability to move to wound sites and fight normal bacteria. Instead, the high sugar in the body feeds the bacteria, and small needle punctures turn into severe, spreading ulcers where tissue dies.

Managing this case needed immediate, aggressive action on two fronts: starting an urgent insulin plan to bring down her dangerously high blood sugar and rehydrate her body, while doing repeated surgical debridements to remove all dead tissue before sepsis sets in every now and then during ward rounds and of course her surgical wound was never spared and aggressively got infected as well.

Why check your PSA?

It will interest you to know that againt the popular notion of start checking your PSA from 40 years, younger people not have high PSA, here is why:

PSA test is one of the tests or first line of tests when screening for prostate cancer. But the test alone can not confirm cancer. High levels only mean your doctor will do further examinations and request more tests to confirm the cause of any symptom if present.

PSA levels can go high in cases of infection of the prostate. In the event of such, the prostate may be engaged, there may be difficulty in urinating and maybe blood in urine.

The non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland is called prostatitis Hyperplasia (BPH), It is a common occurrence with ageing.

Checking your PSA Level at least once a year helps early detection, treat/handle symptoms before they get worse, and also help stop any disease advancement.

Have you had a PSA test?

Whether diabetes or prediabetes, your goal is to lower HbA1c naturally, the most effective approach is not one single herb or tea—it’s combining food choices + physical activity + weight management + good sleep + consistent glucose control over time.

HbA1c reflects your average blood sugar over about 2–3 months.

The flyer illustrates basic natural ways to improve on good glycemic control.

The herbs have been selected (not in any order of strength or hierarchy) based on their proven support for blood glucose control, insulin sensitivity support, and HBAIC control.

However, we also have a very effective herbal combo ( Fenugreek + Cinnamon + Ginger + Cloves + Bay leaf ) that we have shared severally.

By all means, find what works for you and be in control of your blood sugar. If you have an ulcer, please stay away from lemon water, especially on an empty stomach.

Note that combining herbs and diabetes medication can severely lower blood sugar to dangerous levels, always check your blood glucose level

HBA1C!

HbA1c (also written as A1C or glycated hemoglobin) is a blood test that shows your average blood glucose (blood sugar) level over approximately the last 2–3 months.

It is one of the most important tools for diagnosing diabetes, monitoring treatment effectiveness, and predicting the risk of complications.

What exactly is HbA1c?

Inside red blood cells is a protein called hemoglobin, whose job is to carry oxygen.
Glucose (sugar) in the bloodstream naturally attaches to hemoglobin through a process called glycation (not the same as enzyme-controlled glycosylation).
Because red blood cells live for about 120 days, measuring how much glucose is attached gives an estimate of your average blood sugar over the previous 8–12 weeks.

Simple way to think about it:
Finger-prick glucose test → tells you your sugar right now
HbA1c → tells you the overall trend over months
