KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 14 (Bernama) -- Ahead of World Diabetes Day 2022 on 14 November, Clinixero, a diabetes management healthcare brand of Sozo Management and Resources Sdn Bhd celebrated by receiving the certificate awarded by Malaysia Book of Records for having the “Most Patients in a Virtual Diabetic Programme”.
Dr Andrew Chiew, founder of Clinixero, “During the pandemic, our patients had difficulty coming to our wellness centre. This was when we decided to convert our consultations entire online so that we can reach out to our patients near and far. You can say that we are one of the healthcare providers that adopted tele-consultation very early and entirely. And because of that, we were able to reach out to 934 diabetic patients, from just about 50 patients before the start of pandemic. We are so grateful that Malaysia Book of Records recognized our efforts.”
The award was given at the Sweet Retreatz dinner attended by 40 patients and their family and friends coming from as far as Penang, Terengganu, Sabah, Sarawak, and Singapore. This is the first time, post-pandemic, that Clinixero and their patients are gathered and meeting onsite for the two-day retreat in Kuala Lumpur where patients share their experiences with each other with regards to the management of their blood sugar. 12 patients were also recognized for their visible improvements after joining the Clinixero programme.
Datuk Michael Lim, 60, who was awarded Best in Blood Sugar Award said, “I have had diabetes since 2001. Over the years, I have spent a lot of money on various methods to manage my sugar level but without success. Before joining the Clinixero Programme, my sugar level was around 8 on average. On an empty stomach, it is around 7 and after meals, it will usually spike up to 9 and above. After the programme, my blood sugar measures at around 5 before food and 6+ after food.”
