Today was far less scary... we joined the student intensive coaching class again. Dr Deen asking questions as is his want... today ‘the 7 serious manifestations of malaria’ amongst others... good day of learning, although I didn’t see too many patients. Today was diabetic clinic day – it’s quite amazing how many people seem to have diabetes and high blood pressure – way way more than I would’ve expected.
I’m obviously aware that diabetes is not a ‘rich man’s disease’, and know about the ‘double burden’, but didn’t think that SL would’ve have been that far along that path as of now. We discussed lifestyle modification with the houseofficer who mentioned advising patients to cut down from their usual (say 1.5pints (pint here=330ml)) to half a pint of OIL. I thought this was e.g per week, but it turns out he was talking about per MEAL. Maybe we’re starting to understand a little bit.
