Fight diabetes with knowledge
It is always difficult to deal with someone who doesn’t speak your language! Dealing with diabetes is no different.
To beat diabetes, get yourself acquainted with the below for the diabetes’ ABCs
“A” stands for “A1C” test
Short for hemoglobin A1C. It is a blood test that shows what your average blood sugar level has been for 3 months. Your lucky number for the best A results is below 7%.
If your A1C within normal range, then your blood glucose level is under control. Controlling your blood glucose levels will help prevent diabetes’ complications.
“B” stands for “Blood pressure”
Your lucky number for the best B results below 140/90 or lower in some cases.
Controlling the A only is not enough. Diabetics need to control their B as well. That will keep you safe from heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease.
“C” stands for “Cholesterol”
Keep your C devil controlled below 100.
Waxy, fat-like substance made by your liver. Blood cholesterol is essential for good health. Your body needs it to perform important jobs, such as making hormones and digesting fatty foods. Beware! It is a joker, some of it is good (HDL) and some is evil (LDL) .
When your body has too much LDL cholesterol, it can build up on the walls of your blood vessels forming “plaque.” As your blood vessels build up plaque over time, the insides of the vessels narrow, blocking blood flow to and from your heart and other organs. When blood flow to the heart is blocked, it can cause angina (chest pain) or a heart attack. High cholesterol is another factor that increases your risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other serious health problems.
“S” stands for “Smoking”
From all angles, Smoking is just bad for your health.
When you control your ABCs, you can easily beat diabetes. Compared with people who do not have diabetes, people who have diabetes are 2 to 3 times more likely to have a heart attack or a stroke.
Don’t be shy to initiate discussion, ask your doctor about your ABCs target and means to reach them.

What patients say about us
This is the first time I have tried Tabibi 247 and I just wanted to express my gratitude to such great service and professional team members. I would inform you that Dr.Sayed was very helpful and informative. He took his time to explain everything which I really appreciate. I am just proud that such an establishment is in Egypt.
One of the best medical experiences ever. Flawless reservation, cheerful staff, professional doctors and a colorful well equipped center. Amazed to have such level of service and care :) Thank you Tabibi 24/7
Today my son had an accident resulting in a large deep cut on the back of his head. Dr Radwa came round and was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She phoned the local hospital to arrange the stitches, took us there with her driver, arranged everything and stayed with us whilst my semi hysterical 2.5 year old received a numbing injection and 3 stitches. She absolutely went above and beyond. My son is still asking about the doctor!
Before Tabibi I used to go to work, leaving my baby at home sick, feeling worried and tense. Now i am more relaxed and happy to be your customer. Being able to reach your doctor at anytime is a blessing. Thank your Tabibi that is worth a million
Tabibi is a rare medical family, I especially love working as a team with some of the brightest doctors. I’m lucky to work with such a committed and caring group of individuals, and share all our combined knowledge to help ensure we are giving the best medical care to our patients.
What I love is that all your doctors follow one school, when they prescribe and diagnose. I am very happy and grateful and proud of having Tabibi. Bravo!
