Episode 253 - Mohammed Seyam, MD - T1D, Diabetes Advocate & Educator
We are lucky at Diabetics Doing Things to have friends all over the globe.
We are very lucky to have friend of the pod, Mohammed Seyam, on this
episode. Mohammed has previously done an IG takeover for Diabetics Doing
Things, and has written a blog, which you can read here for a perspective
of Gaza in 2020.
With Gaza under siege, we felt it was important time to bring him back.
Rob and Eritrea talk to Mohammed about:
* Diabetes in the Gaza Strip with limited resources and limited support
* The perception of diabetes in the Arab community
o and the pledge to end diabetes stigma and misinformation
* The fear of being a burden that happens to people in all cultures
* The connection of the diabetes community that transcends culture and
background
* His diagnosis story
* Finding the passion for advocacy, changing systems, and not just
being a “normal clinical doctor”
* Growing up in Gaza without access to diabetes technology or supplies
o The challenge of storing insulin with frequent power cuts
o The choice between food and medicine
o Stress and lack of consistency when managing diabetes
* Understanding that anyone of us could be in a moment of crisis, and
compassion is crucial
* The current situation in Palestine and how to help
o http://www.diabeteshumanitarianaidcoalition.org/
Thank you to Mohammed for reminding us that positivity shines in the
darkest of moments.
