Excellent services at the Guyana Diabetic Association

Aug 19, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

Please allow me some space to express my feelings. I am a chronic diabetic with other complications. I was referred by my Nephrologist at GPHC to join the Guyana Diabetic Association in accessing the services offered there. However, I had great difficulty locating the Association.  After moving back and forth, I sought the assistance of the Ministry of Social Services which is located at Lamaha Street. After expressing my frustration with anger (my apology) the kind staff there was able to locate the Guyana Diabetic Association which is situated on Croal Street opposite the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Upon arrival at the Association I was greeted by Madam Glynis Beaton and her courteous staff as if they were expecting me. I felt great relief at the smiling faces there. I instantly joined the Association for a minimal membership fee of $1500 and a monthly subscription of just $500. I had a very healthy interaction with Madam Glynis Beaton and her courteous staff. I was issued with a Glucose test Machine along with test strips. I was further advice about the Association monthly meeting which is held at the Guyana Nursing School on Orange Walk ,which is held every last Wednesday of each month. I was further advised that members can also uplift their medications as well as insulin for those in need. I strongly encourage all persons suffering with Diabetes, especially Public Servants, to come on board and utilise these services there, which is very much time-saving, highly confidential, and efficient.

I strongly recommend that the Honourable Minister of Health, ensures that a conspicuous sign board is erected there so that the building can be easily identified, and as the Government is in the process of preparing the 2023 National Budget, that the Honourable Minister ensures adequate subvention is allocated to the Guyana Diabetic Association so that the services can be decentralised to all of  the 10 Administration Regions of Guyana with Madam Glynis Beaton as the Coordinator. As a Person living with Diabetes, I am willing to volunteer my services should this programme be extended to Region # 3.

Thank you,
Mohamed Z. Inshan
