Three female students at the College of Pharmacy at the University of Sharjah designed a project for the early detection and prevention of diabetes, with the aim of providing a distinguished health service that contributes to the early detection of diabetes patients, and warns people who have high blood sugar through the cumulative glucose test implemented by their project.
The project was implemented by students Zaha Dhafer, Noura Abbas, and Shada Radi, under the supervision of the associate professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Practice and Therapeutics at the college, Dr. Hamza Al-Zubaidi, Dr. Katrina Samourina, and Ward Al-Sedawi, Research Assistant.
The research project aims to provide a new health program through pharmacies for the early detection of diabetes, and to provide a specialized program that helps participants reduce the risk of developing diabetes and its complications and prevent it, especially since many people do not notice high levels of sugar in them.
Dr. Hamza Al-Zubaidi confirmed that the innovative project provides a new health service for early detection of diabetes risks in community pharmacies in the UAE in a manner appropriate to the environment and society of the country, explaining that the first part of the project was successfully implemented in 12 pharmacies in the emirates of Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman.
He added that the project was implemented by conducting a cumulative sugar test in these pharmacies for more than 560 people over the age of 40 who were not diagnosed with diabetes, and 38.0% of them had cumulative sugar levels consistent with diabetes and prediabetes.
