I am a Pharmacist and Author of the super book that is changing lives titled; “Eat Right! Live Right! A Guide on Managing Diabetes Through Lifestyle Modification and Healthy Eating (includes 50 Healthy Recipes)”. I am also a healthy food Chef behind the food and health brand called Koko’s Meal City(KMC). Our brand is passionate on demystifying the myths on diabetes, encouraging persons to eat healthy using their readily available Nigerian foods while managing and controlling diabetes to achieve an ideal glucose level over a sustained period of time. We also curate enjoyable healthy meal plans and food products for persons with diabetes because we believe that diabetics do not have to eat tasteless meals in order to control their glycemic index. On November 18 2023, in commemoration of World Diabetes Day, we organized our maiden Eat Right! Live Right! Awareness Event. We had fun exercises, interactive health talks, medical checkups, healthy snacks and drinks. We hope to do this yearly.

05.08 Justification de mon projet

Having a project to create awareness on diabetes is brilliant and unique. There’s hardly no household who is not affected by diabetes either directly by an immediate family member or a distant relative. Further alarming is the ravaging effects of this ailment even on children. Therefore, having a project to enlighten the community on lifestyle modification and healthy eating measures to control and manage diabetes is highly commendable. Demystifying myths that our Nigerian meals do not help in controlling blood glucose levels due to their high starch content. Our book contains 50 healthy recipes that are enjoyable for healthy living enthusiasts and diabetics.
