  • AKUA THE HUSBAND BEATER

    Akua was a force to be reckoned with. Her husband, Kofi, often joked that she was the one wearing the crown in their marriage. Every day, it seemed, Akua found a reason to lash out at Kofi. A burnt meal, a misplaced item, or even a simple disagreement would set her off.

    Kofi, on the other hand, was a calm and patient man. He loved Akua dearly, but he couldn't understand why she seemed to take pleasure in belittling him. He tried to talk to her, to reason with her, but Akua wouldn't listen.

    One day, Kofi had had enough. He stood tall, looked Akua straight in the eye, and said, "I love you, but I deserve respect. I won't engage in this cycle of violence anymore." Akua was taken aback. For the first time, she saw the pain and hurt she had caused. Slowly, she began to realize that her actions had consequences and that she needed to change. With effort and support, Akua worked on managing her anger, and their relationship began to heal.

  • MUST READ: Phone Rules For Couples

    PHONE USE RULES FOR COUPLES:

    1. Don't make a habit of putting your phone on silent mode or turning it off each time you're with your partner. It makes you look like you are hiding something

    2. Save your partner's phone number using a special title like "Hubby", "Love", "Wife", "Sweetie". Or save using a title plus the official name. Using the official name only makes your partner look like just the other contacts on your phone

    3. Answer your partner's phone call with loving affectionate words like "Hi love", and "Hey honey". How a conversation starts determines how it flows. If you start warm, you two will enjoy talking with each other on the phone

    4. End the talk on a high. Say "I love you", say a joke, a compliment, a warm phrase before you hang up. Hang up with a smile

    5. It is OK to chat with friends online. But never chat with another person more than you chat with your partner

    6. If you will be busy, notify your partner you will not be able to pick up calls or reply to texts promptly. Inform your partner what you will be doing and approximately for how long. This prepares your partner and brings peace because your partner will not feel ignored

    7. Flirting on phone is good but only flirt with your partner

    8. Tell off people who try to flirt with you, entice you, and charm you on phone. Let them know that you are taken

    9. Take lots of photos and videos together to capture moments. You will need those pics and videos in the future as you look back

    13. Unless it's an emergency when you can't reach your partner and you probably know he/she is at work or doing something; don't keep calling and texting desperately. You will only look like a nag to your partner and that will make your partner detest phone contact with you. Relax, your partner will see your missed call and text

    15. Save your partner's phone number as an emergency number to be contacted in case something happens to you and your phone is locked

    20. When you two are having problems, don't vent about your partner directly or indirectly on your social media posts

    21. Don't let your partner get news about you from social media like your online friends. Tell the news to your partner first, and then post it online

    23. Remember it is your role to communicate. None of you should feel he/she is forcing a conversation or is doing much of the talking. Communication takes two

  • *Lessons for the whole world!*

    Sultan Akbar asked Birbal, his grand vizier, to look for four biggest idiots in his kingdom and produce them in his court within a month.

    After a month's extensive search operations, Birbal brought to the court only two people!

    "But I asked for four", Akbar angrily asked.

    "Give me a chance to present them one by one", Birbal pleaded and went on to present his idiots:

    "Maharaj, this man, while travelling in a bullock cart, was keeping his luggage on his head so as not to hurt the bullocks. He is the first idiot. *(In corporate parlance , the ones who take all load on themselves and fail to delegate)*

    Pointing to the second man Birbal continued, "And this man here is the second idiot. Some grass grew on the roof of his thatched house and he was trying to force his cow to climb up a ladder to graze on it." *( In corporate parlance, these are those who set unrealistic targets and force others to achieve them without realising their capabilities and competency)*

    Birbal continued, "Maharaj, there were a lot of important jobs for me to do in the state, but I ignored them and wasted a precious month in search of idiots. According to me I am the third idiot." *( Idiots who rush obediently for wrong job assignments without any qualms)*

    Birbal paused here for a moment.

    "Who is the fourth idiots?", Akbar thundered.

    "Beg your pardon, Sultan", Birbal continued, "You are the King and you are responsible for the well-being of the entire state and its people.

    You need wise persons to help you oversee the affairs of the state. Instead of looking for wise people you engaged me to look for idiots. According to me you are the fourth idiot. *( Bad leaders who make poor strategies and want idiots to follow blindly)*

    Funnybut very profound.

    *Real lessons on strategic leadership.*

  • THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS
    PART 15
    Nine months. The city of Lagos breathed, pulsed, and roared beneath a relentless sun, oblivious to the silent war waged within the gilded cage of Sebastian Scar’s world. Time had scarred over the raw wound of the poisoning, leaving a thick, knotted tissue of suspicion, bitterness, and a haunting absence.
    Scar stood at the penthouse window, a tumbler of untouched whiskey in his hand. The view was the same – the sprawling, vibrant chaos of the city he commanded. Yet, it felt alien, muted. Amanda flitted around the living room behind him, the sharp click of her designer heels a constant, grating counterpoint to the silence in his soul. She’d embedded herself like a persistent thorn, a constant presence draped in silks and poisonous concern. She managed his schedule, filtered information, played the devoted caretaker – the role of the wronged fiancée finally vindicated. But her attempts to reignite their past, to seduce him, were met with a cold, impenetrable wall. He tolerated her, used her efficiency, but the chamber of his heart she once occupied was now a locked vault filled only with echoes of betrayal and the phantom scent of jasmine.
    Jessica. The name was a ghost that walked the halls. His men – the best trackers, the most connected shadows in the city – had turned Lagos upside down. Rivers dredged, slums combed, borders watched, informants squeezed dry. Nothing. Not a whisper, not a footprint. She and Ghost had vanished as if swallowed by the earth. The frustration was a constant, low hum beneath his rage. He didn’t just want her dead anymore; a deeper, more torturous need had taken root. He needed to *see* her. To look into the eyes he’d once drowned in and demand, with the last breath she’d ever draw, *“Why?”* Why shatter the sanctuary he’d built for them? Why poison the hand that gave her everything? Why betray a love that had thawed his frozen heart? The unanswered question festered, poisoning his days more insidiously than the aconite ever had.
    Her family remained a confusing testament to that shattered past. Still under house arrest in the mansion he’d gifted them, guarded by men whose loyalty was now solely to him. Amanda railed against it constantly. "They know something, Sebastian! They’re her blood! They’re laughing at you, hiding her!" she’d hiss, her eyes flashing with malice. But Scar had held firm. "They stay. Unharmed." It was a command born not of mercy, but of a grim, unresolved thread. Harming them felt like closing a door he wasn’t ready to shut, admitting a finality he couldn’t face. Were they hostages for a ghost? Or a lingering, irrational hope that their presence might somehow draw her out? He didn’t know anymore.
    Ghost… his betrayal stung with a unique venom. A man forged in the same fires of loyalty, whose silence had always been his strength. He’d reappeared weeks after the poisoning, materializing one night in Scar’s study as if stepping from a shadow. His story was chillingly plausible, delivered with his usual impassive calm. He’d tracked a lead on a rival faction potentially linked to the poison, deep into the Niger Delta. Communications compromised. Ambushed. Left for dead. He’d only just recovered. He vehemently denied helping Jessica escape. "Boss, I would die before betraying you. She must have had other help, or she was far more resourceful than we knew. I failed you. I should have been there." The explanation was tight, logical. Scar had stared into Ghost’s unreadable eyes, searching for a flicker of deceit. He found none. But the absence of proof wasn’t proof of innocence, and a seed of doubt, carefully nurtured by Amanda’s whispers, remained. Ghost was reinstated, his duties curtailed, watched.
    Meanwhile, miles away yet impossibly close, hidden in a modest, unremarkable apartment building just five streets from the towering opulence of Scar’s villa, Jessica lived in the fragile eye of the storm. Ghost’s gamble had been audacious. Bringing her back to the lion’s den, to a safehouse nestled within the very territory crawling with men hunting her. It was a move born of necessity and audacious strategy – the last place Scar would think to look.
    Jessica’s world was confined to three small rooms. The weight she carried now wasn't just fear, but the profound, undeniable swell of her pregnancy. Eight months. Her body was a landscape of taut skin, aching bones, and the ceaseless, miraculous flutter of life within. Chioma, Ghost’s fiercely protective fiancée, was her anchor, her midwife, her confidante. She tended to Jessica with quiet competence, brewing herbal teas for the swelling in her ankles, massaging the knots from her back, her eyes holding a constant, watchful worry.
    The apartment was a world away from the penthouse luxury, filled with the smell of simmering stews and the sound of distant city life filtering through thin walls. Jessica spent her days by a small window overlooking a dusty courtyard, her hands often resting on the hard curve of her belly. She traced patterns, whispered secrets to the life inside – stories of its father, not the man baying for her blood, but the man who had held her like she was the world, who had whispered love against her skin. "Your Papa, Sebastian," she’d murmur, tears often blurring her vision. "He’s strong. He’s brave. And he’s lost right now. But we’ll find him, little one. We’ll make him see."
    Fear was a constant companion. Every footstep on the stairwell, every raised voice in the courtyard, sent her heart racing. But it was tempered now by a ferocious, maternal resolve. She carried Scar’s heir. This child was her truth, her weapon, her reason to fight. She couldn’t run forever. She had to clear her name, for herself, for her child, and for the man whose love had created this life, even if he now sought to end hers.
    Unbeknownst to Jessica and Scar, a quiet revolution was brewing among the ranks. William, Scar’s steadfast second-in-command, had become the epicenter of doubt. The initial rage had cooled, replaced by cold logic and gnawing inconsistencies. The missing CCTV footage – too clean, too convenient. Amanda’s constant presence, her manipulation of information, her eagerness to see Jessica’s family harmed. Ghost’s improbable, yet unchallenged, alibi. And Jessica… the girl from the slums who’d fought tooth and nail for an education, who’d sent money home religiously, who’d looked at Scar with an adoration William had never seen in Amanda’s calculating eyes. Did that woman poison the man she loved?
    William began cautiously. Late-night meetings in secure garages, hushed conversations with other senior lieutenants – men who’d witnessed Jessica’s quiet strength, who remembered Scar’s transformation when she was near. Men like Kola, the head of security, who’d privately questioned the lack of physical evidence tying Jessica to the poison beyond proximity. Slowly, carefully, a network of doubt solidified into a conspiracy of truth. They shared fragments: Amanda making unexplained calls before the poisoning, her subtle influence over certain guards, her unnatural calm amidst the chaos. They couldn’t prove anything yet, but the conviction grew – Jessica was innocent. Amanda had orchestrated it all. And Ghost… his role was still murky, but his return and Jessica’s continued disappearance pointed towards something more complex than betrayal.
    Their plan was dangerous, embryonic. Gather irrefutable proof. Find Jessica. Expose Amanda before she consolidated her power or eliminated them. They moved like shadows within shadows, aware that one misstep meant death.
    Back in the penthouse, Amanda felt the shifting sands. Scar’s coldness was a fortress she couldn’t breach. Her seduction attempts – lingering touches, suggestive whispers, expensive lingerie showcased under flimsy robes – were met with indifference or curt dismissal. He slept in his own room, the door locked. The engagement ring she’d subtly placed on her finger remained unacknowledged.
    One evening, fueled by desperation and expensive wine, she cornered him in his study. He was reviewing weapons manifests, his profile harsh in the lamplight. She approached, the scent of her perfume cloying. "Sebastian," she purred, draping herself over the arm of his chair, her hand sliding onto his thigh. "It’s late. You work too hard. Let me… ease your mind." Her fingers crept higher.
    Scar didn’t look up. His hand shot out, not violently, but with crushing finality, clamping around her wrist and removing it from his leg. His touch was ice-cold. "Don't," he said, his voice devoid of any inflection, his gaze still fixed on the papers. "Leave, Amanda."
    Humiliation burned her cheeks. "Why?" she hissed, the mask slipping. "Why cling to the ghost of that treacherous whore? I’m *here*. I’ve *always* been here! We’re meant to be together!"
    Finally, he looked at her. His eyes, dark and fathomless, held not anger, but a chilling emptiness. "Meant to be?" he echoed, a hollow laugh escaping him. "That childhood contract died the day you shot an unarmed woman in my house. It was buried when you poisoned me and framed Jessica. You are here because you manipulated your way in. Not because I want you. Not because I *ever* will." He stood, towering over her, the sheer force of his presence pushing her back a step. "You serve a purpose, Amanda. For now. Don't mistake tolerance for desire. Now get out."
    She fled, not in tears, but in a silent, shaking rage that promised retribution. The walls were closing in. William’s subtle resistance, Scar’s impenetrable coldness, the persistent, maddening silence of Jessica’s whereabouts – it was all unraveling.
    As Amanda seethed in her suite, and Scar stared sightlessly at the city lights, wrestling with ghosts and unanswered questions, Jessica lay in the stifling heat of the safehouse apartment, Chioma gently rubbing cooling balm onto her swollen feet. The baby kicked vigorously, a powerful reminder of the life pulsing against all odds. Five streets away, William and Kola met in a dimly lit back room, a stolen security log spread between them, their voices low and urgent. The storm was no longer gathering; it was on the horizon, a tempest fueled by love, betrayal, and the desperate hope held within a heavily pregnant woman hidden in plain sight. The reckoning was coming, and the heir to the Scar empire would be born amidst its fury.
    TO BE CONTINUED...

Slowly, carefully, a network of doubt solidified into a conspiracy of truth. They shared fragments: Amanda making unexplained calls before the poisoning, her subtle influence over certain guards, her unnatural calm amidst the chaos. They couldn’t prove anything yet, but the conviction grew – Jessica was innocent. Amanda had orchestrated it all. And Ghost… his role was still murky, but his return and Jessica’s continued disappearance pointed towards something more complex than betrayal. Their plan was dangerous, embryonic. Gather irrefutable proof. Find Jessica. Expose Amanda before she consolidated her power or eliminated them. They moved like shadows within shadows, aware that one misstep meant death. Back in the penthouse, Amanda felt the shifting sands. Scar’s coldness was a fortress she couldn’t breach. Her seduction attempts – lingering touches, suggestive whispers, expensive lingerie showcased under flimsy robes – were met with indifference or curt dismissal. He slept in his own room, the door locked. The engagement ring she’d subtly placed on her finger remained unacknowledged. One evening, fueled by desperation and expensive wine, she cornered him in his study. He was reviewing weapons manifests, his profile harsh in the lamplight. She approached, the scent of her perfume cloying. "Sebastian," she purred, draping herself over the arm of his chair, her hand sliding onto his thigh. "It’s late. You work too hard. Let me… ease your mind." Her fingers crept higher. Scar didn’t look up. His hand shot out, not violently, but with crushing finality, clamping around her wrist and removing it from his leg. His touch was ice-cold. "Don't," he said, his voice devoid of any inflection, his gaze still fixed on the papers. "Leave, Amanda." Humiliation burned her cheeks. "Why?" she hissed, the mask slipping. "Why cling to the ghost of that treacherous whore? I’m *here*. I’ve *always* been here! We’re meant to be together!" Finally, he looked at her. His eyes, dark and fathomless, held not anger, but a chilling emptiness. "Meant to be?" he echoed, a hollow laugh escaping him. "That childhood contract died the day you shot an unarmed woman in my house. It was buried when you poisoned me and framed Jessica. You are here because you manipulated your way in. Not because I want you. Not because I *ever* will." He stood, towering over her, the sheer force of his presence pushing her back a step. "You serve a purpose, Amanda. For now. Don't mistake tolerance for desire. Now get out." She fled, not in tears, but in a silent, shaking rage that promised retribution. The walls were closing in. William’s subtle resistance, Scar’s impenetrable coldness, the persistent, maddening silence of Jessica’s whereabouts – it was all unraveling. As Amanda seethed in her suite, and Scar stared sightlessly at the city lights, wrestling with ghosts and unanswered questions, Jessica lay in the stifling heat of the safehouse apartment, Chioma gently rubbing cooling balm onto her swollen feet. The baby kicked vigorously, a powerful reminder of the life pulsing against all odds. Five streets away, William and Kola met in a dimly lit back room, a stolen security log spread between them, their voices low and urgent. The storm was no longer gathering; it was on the horizon, a tempest fueled by love, betrayal, and the desperate hope held within a heavily pregnant woman hidden in plain sight. The reckoning was coming, and the heir to the Scar empire would be born amidst its fury. TO BE CONTINUED...

  • There is this ring i am putting on my finger as i speak right now, Let me tell you the story behind it.

    Rewind to 22 of May, 2019. I wasn’t married to my husband then, just living with him, and, you know the rest…

    He went to work, and I was alone in the house. I just got back from Turkey and we relocated back to Lagos, from Awka, Anambra state. Been living with him for more than a year, and there was no sign of marriage, as he was always reminding me of how scared he was of getting married.

    On that fateful day, after thinking about my life, I parked my belongings, and was ready to leave his house. I told myself that I can’t continue living with a man and collecting preeeèeeèk without marriage, what if I get pregnànt? I am too fragile to be a single mother o, me that hasn’t finished taking care of myself.

    I called him to come and drop me off, that I was ready to leave him. He was shocked, asked me where I was leaving to, I said mainland, he told me to give him till evening, so that he will finish for the day. I agreed and waited, patiently.

    When he got back, he mentioned a place he saw at the mall in sangotedo, that I should follow him there first, before he will go drop me off, I insisted on putting my bag in the trunk of the car, he didn’t argue, even helped me carry the bag to the car.

    When we got to the mall, he took me straight to pandora, and said he was passing by a few days before, and spotted the ring, that it would look good on my finger. I asked him if he was trying to engage me, he said I shouldn’t put a label on it, I should just wear it to remember him always, even after I leave him.

    Smh . Men!

    I accepted what looked exactly like an engagement ring, he wore it on my ‘married’, ring finger. On our way out of the mall, he told me he was having runny stomach, that we should quickly stop by at the house, I innocently agreed. When we got home, this man started sugàr talking my fragile heart, and I gave in again. I don’t know how I found myself on the bèď again, wearing a non marriage proposal ring, feeling very satisfied for no reason.

    Few hours later, he went to bring my bag inside, and unpacked for me. I later officially became his wife, four months later, but it wasn’t easy for me to get here. The road was too long.

    An only son that was afraid of marriage.

  • Good morning.

    OPEN HEAVEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL

    DATE: WEDNESDAY JUNE 18 2025

    THEME: WORDS CAN HEAL

    MEMORISE: Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. Colossians 4:6

    READ: John 8:1-11

    1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

    2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.

    3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

    4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

    5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

    6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

    7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

    8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

    9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

    10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

    11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

    MESSAGE
    Over the past two days, I discussed the power of words; today, I will focus on how words can heal. As a Christian, you should always be gracious with your words (Ephesians 4:29). You should be generous with giving compliments and telling people encouraging words. Simply saying things like, "I like your haircut," can bring people out of sadness and put a smile on their faces. Your compliments must, however, be genuine because God will punish those who flatter others with their words (Psalm 12:3). In Ruth 2:1, Boaz was described as a mighty man of wealth.

    Unlike some wealthy people who look down on their workers and speak rashly to them, Boaz encouraged his workers with his words, and they responded pleasantly (Ruth 2:4). I believe this is partly responsible for Boaz's successful business. If you are a business owner and you curse or talk down on your workers, you are indirectly also cursing the work of your hands because they are the ones managing it for you.

    Nabal, unlike Boaz, was a man who spoke negative words. When David sent his men to ask him to give them something, his response was terrible. He spoke harshly to the men and if his wife, Abigail, hadn't intervened by going without his consent to soothe David with her words, everyone in his family would have been destroyed. While Nabal's words stirred up David's anger and made him gather his men to go against the former's household, Abigail's words were seasoned with salt and kept her family from destruction (1 Samuel 25:1-35).

    When you speak, what effect do your words have? Do they heal or destroy? Solomon said, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue..." (Proverbs 18:21). Apostle Paul, in today's memory verse, tells us to make sure that our speech is always with grace and seasoned with salt. Seasoning makes food more enjoyable. A fellow whose speech is well- seasoned will always attract others to himself or herself because people go to places where they are appreciated and motivated. When the woman caught in the act of adultery in today's Bible reading was brought to Jesus, in the midst of many condemning words from other people, His words, "Go and sin no more," brought her the liberty that she needed (John 8:11).

    Beloved, let your words bring unbelievers to Jesus and show them His grace. Do not let your words be the reason people reject the gospel.

    ACTION POINT
    Consciously give genuine compliments and encourages people with your words every day.

    BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 73-77

    AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE

    HYMN 24: I WANT TO BE LIKE JESUS*

    1. I want to be like Jesus,
    So lowly and so meek;
    For no one marked an angry word,
    That ever heard Him speak.

    2. I want to be like Jesus,
    So frequently in prayer;
    Alone upon the mountain top,
    He met his Father there.

    3. I want to be like Jesus,
    I never, never find
    That He, though persecuted was
    To any one unkind.

    4. I want to be like Jesus,
    Engaged in doing good;
    So that of me it may be said
    "He hath done what he could."

    5. I want to be like Jesus,
    Who sweetly said to all,
    "Let little children come to Me;"
    I would obey the call.

    6. But oh I'm not like Jesus,
    As any one may see;
    O gentle Saviour, send Thy grace,
    And make me like to Thee.

  • *DIABETES*
    Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels, often leading to damage to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves.

    The main types of diabetes include type 1,
    type 2, and gestational diabetes.

    Types of Diabetes:

    *Type 1 Diabetes:*
    This type is an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system attacks the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, resulting in little to no insulin production.
    It often develops in childhood or adolescence but can occur at any age.


    *Type 2 Diabetes:*
    In this type, the body either doesn't produce enough insulin or its cells don't respond properly to insulin (insulin resistance). This leads to a buildup of glucose in the bloodstream.
    Type 2 diabetes is the most common type and usually develops in adulthood, but it can also occur in children.

    *Gestational Diabetes:*
    This type develops during pregnancy and typically resolves after childbirth. However, women who have gestational diabetes have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.

    *Prediabetes:*
    This is a condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. Individuals with prediabetes are at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

    Treating diabetes involves a multifaceted approach, including lifestyle modifications like diet and exercise, and often requires medication, such as insulin or non-insulin antihyperglycemic agents. The specific formulation used depends on the type of diabetes and individual patient needs.

    Types of Diabetes and Treatment Approaches:
    Type 1 Diabetes:
    Primarily requires insulin therapy due to the body's inability to produce insulin. Insulin is administered through injections or an insulin pump, mimicking the natural function of the pancreas.

    Type 2 Diabetes:
    Often managed initially with diet and exercise, but may require medication as well. Medications can include oral antidiabetic drugs (e.g., sulfonylureas, metformin, GLP-1 receptor agonists) or insulin therapy.

    Gestational Diabetes:
    Usually managed with diet, exercise, and potentially insulin, especially if blood sugar levels are not controlled.

    Formulation Methods:
    Diet and Exercise:
    These play a crucial role in managing blood sugar levels, improving insulin sensitivity, and promoting overall health.

    Insulin Therapy:
    Involves administering insulin to lower blood sugar levels. Different types of insulin are available, including short-acting, rapid-acting, and long-acting options, and are chosen based on individual needs.

    Non-Insulin Antihyperglycemic Medications:
    These drugs work in different ways to lower blood sugar levels, such as by increasing insulin production, improving insulin sensitivity, or slowing down glucose absorption.
    Other Treatments:
    May include therapies like islet cell transplantation (a more advanced treatment that restores insulin-producing cells) or insulin pumps (devices that deliver insulin continuously, mimicking the body's natural function).

    Example of a Formulation (Combination Therapy):
    A common approach for type 2 diabetes is a combination of oral antidiabetic medications (like metformin) and insulin, used when oral medications alone are not sufficient to control blood sugar.

    Some formulations may also include other treatments like GLP-1 receptor agonists, which can help improve blood sugar control and may also lead to weight loss.

    Important Considerations:
    Individualized Treatment:
    The specific formulation used should be tailored to each patient's individual needs, taking into account factors like their age, other health conditions, and medication preferences.

    Monitoring and Adjustments:
    Regular blood sugar monitoring and follow-up appointments are essential to ensure the formulation is working effectively and to make necessary adjustments.

    Education and Support:
    Patient education is crucial to ensure proper medication use and understanding of the diabetes management plan.

    Diabetes treatment formulation involves a comprehensive.

    1. *Dietary changes*: Balanced meal planning, carbohydrate counting.

    2. *Physical activity*: Regular exercise, such as walking, jogging..

    3. *Weight management*: Maintaining a healthy weight.

    Monitoring and Adjustments
    1. *Blood glucose monitoring*: Regular tracking of blood sugar levels.

    2. *A1C testing*: Monitoring long-term glucose control.

    3. *Medication adjustments*: Healthcare provider-guided changes.

    Education and Support
    1. *Diabetes education*: Understanding the condition, treatment and self-management.

    Over time, diabetes can damage blood vessels in the heart, eyes, kidneys and nerves. People with diabetes have a higher risk of health problems including heart attack, stroke and kidney failure. Diabetes can cause permanent vision loss by damaging blood vessels in the eyes.


    *DIET PLAN ON DIABETES PATIENT*

    *A diabetic diet focuses on managing blood sugar levels through a balanced intake of carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats, while also prioritizing whole, unprocessed foods and limiting added sugars and refined grains.*

    *Principles of a diabetic diet:*
    Carbohydrates: Choose complex carbohydrates like whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes.

    *These are digested more slowly, preventing rapid spikes in blood sugar.*

    *Protein:* Include lean protein sources such as fish, chicken, turkey, eggs, beans, and lentils.

    *Healthy Fats:* Opt for healthy fats like olive oil, avocados, nuts, and seeds.

    *Fiber:* Increase fiber intake through whole grains, vegetables, and fruits to help regulate blood sugar.

    *Portion Control:* Be mindful of portion sizes to avoid overconsumption of carbohydrates and calories.

    *Limit Added Sugars:* Reduce intake of sugary drinks, desserts, and processed foods.

    *Regular Meal Times:* Eat meals at regular intervals to maintain stable blood sugar levels.

    *Foods to include:*
    Non-starchy vegetables: Spinach, leafy greens, carrots, bell peppers.

    *Whole grains:* Whole wheat bread, brown rice, quinoa, oats.

    *Fruits:* Choose whole fruits over juices or dried fruit.

    *Dinner:* Baked chicken or fish with roasted vegetables and brown rice.

    Snacks: Fruits, vegetables, nuts, or a piece of whole-grain bread with a small amount of low-fat cheese.

    *Additional Tips:*
    Read food labels: Pay attention to sugar and carbohydrate content.

    Consult with a registered dietitian: A dietitian can help create a personalized meal plan.

    *Stay hydrated:* Drink plenty of water throughout the day.

    *Be active:* Regular physical activity helps improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control.

    *Manage stress:* High stress levels can impact blood sugar.

    *Don't skip meals:* Regular meals help prevent blood sugar swings.

    *Monitor your blood sugar:* Regularly check your blood sugar levels to track your progress and make adjustments to your diet.

    *Consider cultural preferences:* Incorporate healthy versions of traditional Nigerian dishes into your meal plan.

    Use the plate method: Fill half of your plate with non-starchy vegetables, a quarter with lean protein, and a quarter with a carbohydrate.

    *POTENTIAL WARNING SIGNS OF DIABETES* include increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, excessive hunger, fatigue, blurred vision, slow-healing wounds, numbness or tingling in hands/feet, frequent skin or vaginal yeast infections, and dark skin patches.

    More detailed look at each of these signs:
    1. Increased Thirst and Frequent Urination:
    Excessive thirst (polydipsia) and frequent urination (polyuria) are common early symptoms, especially in type 1 diabetes.

    2. Unexplained Weight Loss:
    Despite increased appetite, unexplained weight loss can be a sign of type 1 diabetes, as the body is unable to utilize glucose for energy.

    3. Excessive Hunger:
    Increased appetite (polyphagia) can occur as the body tries to compensate for the inability to use glucose.

    4. Fatigue:
    Persistent tiredness and weakness can be a result of high blood sugar levels and dehydration from frequent urination.

    5. Blurred Vision:
    High blood sugar can affect the lens and cause changes in fluid levels in the eye, leading to temporary blurring.

    6. Slow-Healing Wounds:
    Diabetes can impair blood circulation, slowing down the healing process of cuts and sores.

    7. Numbness or Tingling in Hands/Feet:
    Nerve damage (neuropathy) from high blood sugar can cause tingling or numbness, particularly in the extremities.

    8. Frequent Skin or Vaginal Yeast Infections:
    High blood sugar can create an environment for yeast to thrive.

    9. Dark Skin Patches:
    Acanthosis nigricans, characterized by dark, velvety patches in skin folds (like armpits, neck, groin), can be a sign of type 2 diabetes.

    10. Shin Spots (Diabetic Dermopathy):
    These round, brown or reddish-brown spots, often on the shins, can be a sign of diabetes and may fade after diabetes is well-controlled.

    *Several herbs medicine for management blood sugar levels, including cinnamon, fenugreek, bitter melon, it's very important to check the patient sugar levels before incorporating them into your routine, especially if you have diabetes.*

    Herbs and Supplements for Blood Sugar Control:

    *Cinnamon:* Studies suggest cinnamon can help lower glucose levels and improve insulin sensitivity.

    *Fenugreek:* This herb is known to improve glucose tolerance and reduce blood sugar levels.

    *Bitter Melon:* This plant has been traditionally used to manage diabetes and may help with blood sugar control.

    *Milk Thistle:* Some research indicates milk thistle may help lower blood sugar and protect against diabetes-related complications.

    *Gymnema:* This herb is believed to help regulate blood sugar levels and suppress cravings for sweets.

    *Ginger:* Ginger has anti-diabetic, anti-oxidative, and hypolipidemic properties that may help manage blood sugar.

    *Treatment plan for the management of diabetes*

    King of bitter, abere seed,bitter leaf and bitter kola

    From personal experience, both King of Bitters and Abere Seed live up to their reputations but in different ways.

    *King of Bitters* has a sharp, intense bitterness that fully activates all the bitter-sensitive areas of the tongue. It hits hard the moment it touches your tongue but fades relatively quickly. The initial impact is strong, but it doesn’t linger for too long.

    *Abere Seed*, on the other hand, offers a more complex bitterness. It not only stimulates the bitter taste buds but seems to engage the sour-sensitive areas as well.

    The bitterness hits hard—just like King of Bitters—but unlike it, the taste lingers stubbornly. It stays on your tongue, often making you want to scrape it off. That lingering bitterness is what sets it apart.

    *Bitter Leaf* falls somewhere in between. Its bitterness is noticeable and persistent but not as sharp as King of Bitters nor as lingering as Abere Seed. In my experience, *Bitter Kola* shares a similar bitterness level with Bitter Leaf—distinct but not overwhelming.

    Now, imagine combining these four potent botanicals—King of Bitters, Abere Seed, Bitter Leaf, and Bitter Kola—into one powerful herbal formulation:
    *Know as Bitters Capsule*.

    This herbal blend could be nature’s answer to some of the most stubborn ailments. From supporting *liver health* to reversing *diabetics status, fighting hepatitis*, and even showing promise in the *treatment of cancer*—bitter plants hold remarkable healing potential.

    Yes, Nature truly put healing essence in bitter herbs.

    *DIABETES* Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels, often leading to damage to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves. The main types of diabetes include type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. Types of Diabetes: *Type 1 Diabetes:* This type is an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system attacks the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, resulting in little to no insulin production. It often develops in childhood or adolescence but can occur at any age. *Type 2 Diabetes:* In this type, the body either doesn't produce enough insulin or its cells don't respond properly to insulin (insulin resistance). This leads to a buildup of glucose in the bloodstream. Type 2 diabetes is the most common type and usually develops in adulthood, but it can also occur in children. *Gestational Diabetes:* This type develops during pregnancy and typically resolves after childbirth. However, women who have gestational diabetes have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life. *Prediabetes:* This is a condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. Individuals with prediabetes are at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Treating diabetes involves a multifaceted approach, including lifestyle modifications like diet and exercise, and often requires medication, such as insulin or non-insulin antihyperglycemic agents. The specific formulation used depends on the type of diabetes and individual patient needs. Types of Diabetes and Treatment Approaches: Type 1 Diabetes: Primarily requires insulin therapy due to the body's inability to produce insulin. Insulin is administered through injections or an insulin pump, mimicking the natural function of the pancreas. Type 2 Diabetes: Often managed initially with diet and exercise, but may require medication as well. Medications can include oral antidiabetic drugs (e.g., sulfonylureas, metformin, GLP-1 receptor agonists) or insulin therapy. Gestational Diabetes: Usually managed with diet, exercise, and potentially insulin, especially if blood sugar levels are not controlled. Formulation Methods: Diet and Exercise: These play a crucial role in managing blood sugar levels, improving insulin sensitivity, and promoting overall health. Insulin Therapy: Involves administering insulin to lower blood sugar levels. Different types of insulin are available, including short-acting, rapid-acting, and long-acting options, and are chosen based on individual needs. Non-Insulin Antihyperglycemic Medications: These drugs work in different ways to lower blood sugar levels, such as by increasing insulin production, improving insulin sensitivity, or slowing down glucose absorption. Other Treatments: May include therapies like islet cell transplantation (a more advanced treatment that restores insulin-producing cells) or insulin pumps (devices that deliver insulin continuously, mimicking the body's natural function). Example of a Formulation (Combination Therapy): A common approach for type 2 diabetes is a combination of oral antidiabetic medications (like metformin) and insulin, used when oral medications alone are not sufficient to control blood sugar. Some formulations may also include other treatments like GLP-1 receptor agonists, which can help improve blood sugar control and may also lead to weight loss. Important Considerations: Individualized Treatment: The specific formulation used should be tailored to each patient's individual needs, taking into account factors like their age, other health conditions, and medication preferences. Monitoring and Adjustments: Regular blood sugar monitoring and follow-up appointments are essential to ensure the formulation is working effectively and to make necessary adjustments. Education and Support: Patient education is crucial to ensure proper medication use and understanding of the diabetes management plan. Diabetes treatment formulation involves a comprehensive. 1. *Dietary changes*: Balanced meal planning, carbohydrate counting. 2. *Physical activity*: Regular exercise, such as walking, jogging.. 3. *Weight management*: Maintaining a healthy weight. Monitoring and Adjustments 1. *Blood glucose monitoring*: Regular tracking of blood sugar levels. 2. *A1C testing*: Monitoring long-term glucose control. 3. *Medication adjustments*: Healthcare provider-guided changes. Education and Support 1. *Diabetes education*: Understanding the condition, treatment and self-management. Over time, diabetes can damage blood vessels in the heart, eyes, kidneys and nerves. People with diabetes have a higher risk of health problems including heart attack, stroke and kidney failure. Diabetes can cause permanent vision loss by damaging blood vessels in the eyes. *DIET PLAN ON DIABETES PATIENT* *A diabetic diet focuses on managing blood sugar levels through a balanced intake of carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats, while also prioritizing whole, unprocessed foods and limiting added sugars and refined grains.* *Principles of a diabetic diet:* Carbohydrates: Choose complex carbohydrates like whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes. *These are digested more slowly, preventing rapid spikes in blood sugar.* *Protein:* Include lean protein sources such as fish, chicken, turkey, eggs, beans, and lentils. *Healthy Fats:* Opt for healthy fats like olive oil, avocados, nuts, and seeds. *Fiber:* Increase fiber intake through whole grains, vegetables, and fruits to help regulate blood sugar. *Portion Control:* Be mindful of portion sizes to avoid overconsumption of carbohydrates and calories. *Limit Added Sugars:* Reduce intake of sugary drinks, desserts, and processed foods. *Regular Meal Times:* Eat meals at regular intervals to maintain stable blood sugar levels. *Foods to include:* Non-starchy vegetables: Spinach, leafy greens, carrots, bell peppers. *Whole grains:* Whole wheat bread, brown rice, quinoa, oats. *Fruits:* Choose whole fruits over juices or dried fruit. *Lean protein:* Fish, chicken, turkey, eggs, beans, lentils. Low-fat dairy: Milk, yogurt, cheese. *Healthy fats:* Olive oil, avocados, nuts, seeds. Foods to limit or avoid: Sugary drinks: Soda, juice, sports drinks. Refined grains: White bread, white rice, pasta. Processed foods: Fast food, chips, sugary snacks. Saturated and trans fats: Found in processed meats, butter, and fried foods. Example meal plan: *Breakfast:* Oatmeal with berries and nuts, or a lean protein omelet with vegetables. *Lunch:* Salad with grilled chicken or fish, whole-grain bread, and vegetables. *Dinner:* Baked chicken or fish with roasted vegetables and brown rice. Snacks: Fruits, vegetables, nuts, or a piece of whole-grain bread with a small amount of low-fat cheese. *Additional Tips:* Read food labels: Pay attention to sugar and carbohydrate content. Consult with a registered dietitian: A dietitian can help create a personalized meal plan. *Stay hydrated:* Drink plenty of water throughout the day. *Be active:* Regular physical activity helps improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control. *Manage stress:* High stress levels can impact blood sugar. *Don't skip meals:* Regular meals help prevent blood sugar swings. *Monitor your blood sugar:* Regularly check your blood sugar levels to track your progress and make adjustments to your diet. *Consider cultural preferences:* Incorporate healthy versions of traditional Nigerian dishes into your meal plan. Use the plate method: Fill half of your plate with non-starchy vegetables, a quarter with lean protein, and a quarter with a carbohydrate. *POTENTIAL WARNING SIGNS OF DIABETES* include increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, excessive hunger, fatigue, blurred vision, slow-healing wounds, numbness or tingling in hands/feet, frequent skin or vaginal yeast infections, and dark skin patches. More detailed look at each of these signs: 1. Increased Thirst and Frequent Urination: Excessive thirst (polydipsia) and frequent urination (polyuria) are common early symptoms, especially in type 1 diabetes. 2. Unexplained Weight Loss: Despite increased appetite, unexplained weight loss can be a sign of type 1 diabetes, as the body is unable to utilize glucose for energy. 3. Excessive Hunger: Increased appetite (polyphagia) can occur as the body tries to compensate for the inability to use glucose. 4. Fatigue: Persistent tiredness and weakness can be a result of high blood sugar levels and dehydration from frequent urination. 5. Blurred Vision: High blood sugar can affect the lens and cause changes in fluid levels in the eye, leading to temporary blurring. 6. Slow-Healing Wounds: Diabetes can impair blood circulation, slowing down the healing process of cuts and sores. 7. Numbness or Tingling in Hands/Feet: Nerve damage (neuropathy) from high blood sugar can cause tingling or numbness, particularly in the extremities. 8. Frequent Skin or Vaginal Yeast Infections: High blood sugar can create an environment for yeast to thrive. 9. Dark Skin Patches: Acanthosis nigricans, characterized by dark, velvety patches in skin folds (like armpits, neck, groin), can be a sign of type 2 diabetes. 10. Shin Spots (Diabetic Dermopathy): These round, brown or reddish-brown spots, often on the shins, can be a sign of diabetes and may fade after diabetes is well-controlled. *Several herbs medicine for management blood sugar levels, including cinnamon, fenugreek, bitter melon, it's very important to check the patient sugar levels before incorporating them into your routine, especially if you have diabetes.* Herbs and Supplements for Blood Sugar Control: *Cinnamon:* Studies suggest cinnamon can help lower glucose levels and improve insulin sensitivity. *Fenugreek:* This herb is known to improve glucose tolerance and reduce blood sugar levels. *Bitter Melon:* This plant has been traditionally used to manage diabetes and may help with blood sugar control. *Milk Thistle:* Some research indicates milk thistle may help lower blood sugar and protect against diabetes-related complications. *Gymnema:* This herb is believed to help regulate blood sugar levels and suppress cravings for sweets. *Ginger:* Ginger has anti-diabetic, anti-oxidative, and hypolipidemic properties that may help manage blood sugar. *Aloe Vera:* Aloe vera may help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels.
