High Blood Sugar (Hyperglycemia) can cause frequent urination, excessive thirst, fatigue, blurred vision, headache, and increased hunger.

⚠️ Very high glucose with vomiting, abdominal pain, fruity breath, deep/rapid breathing, confusion, or severe weakness may signal a medical emergency such as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).

✅ Check your blood sugar regularly, stay hydrated, take diabetes medication/insulin as prescribed, and follow your diabetes care plan.

Persistent hyperglycemia can gradually damage the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and blood vessels. Early recognition and consistent control matter. ❤️

That calm before the Takbeerat… the weight of sacrifice… the warmth of divine mercy.

This Eid, let your Qurbani be more than a ritual, let it be a reminder of Ibrahim (AS)’s trust, your own patience, and Allah’s endless mercy.
May Allah (SWT) accept your sacrifices and fill your home with barakah.
From all of us bashir safi clinic Mubarak to you & your loved ones! 😊 https://www.facebook.com/share/191gdAZumG/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Mode of transmission:
→ Eating undercooked pork → intestinal taeniasis
→ Fecal–oral ingestion of eggs → cysticercosis

Clinical features:

Intestinal taeniasis:
→ Abdominal pain
→ Weight loss / nutrient deficiency

Larval migration (neurocysticercosis):
→ Seizures (most common presentation)
→ Headache
→ Hydrocephalus
→ Raised intracranial pressure

Diagnosis (exam):
→ Stool ova/proglottids (taeniasis)
→ CT/MRI brain (cysticercosis)

→ Löffler syndrome
(cough, wheeze, eosinophilia)

Complications:
