Peeing a lot, excess thirst, losing weight despite increased appetite, waking up frequently at night to Pee, ants surrounding urine ( means urine is sweet, because there is sugar in it); suggests He has Diabetes

Diabetes in early stages can actually present without any symptoms
Diabetes can destroy any organ in the body from blood vessels, eyes, brain, kidneys, the gonads..on and on

In this case Diabetes has destroyed the Kidneys causing a condition called Diabetic Nephropathy.

The kidneys produce urine and remove dangerous wastes from the body
Symptoms of kidney Damage include
- swollen legs and body
- hiccups
- weakness
- loss of appetite
- urine persistently foaming ( much protein is getting into the urine which is abnormal)
-seizures
- vomiting
- confusion
- little or no urine or excess urine
- vomiting blood
Today is #WorldDiabetesDay dedicated to awareness of Diabetes.

A lot of people don't know they have Diabetes.
Go to a hospital check your blood sugar. Also check your HbA1c.

Run other lab tests like blood fats, electrolytes (blood chemicals) ,etc to reassure yourself

I have watched and rewatched this Tinubu video as a Medical Doctor

I do hope Nigerians will agree with my medical breakdown.
Please read

Series of videos have constantly shown that Tinubu has some form of cognition problems. You can choose to deny but the facts are there
His videos have constantly shown there is an obvious cognitive deficit.
The videos have clearly shown that there is a gap with concentration and inattention.

The latest PDAPC statement he made also is a great pointer to him having a Memory deficit.

Put this with his age
It won't be out of place to say Tinubu might have SENILE DEMENTIA.

His videos and subsequent appearances have constantly shown a subtle decline in cognitive deficit, attention, memory..all which are cardinal features of DEMENTIA (You can Google it yourself to confirm)

I don't know who needs to see this

There is a reason we always say don't abuse Sleeping pills when you have sleeping problem. See a Dr
A common abused Sleeping pill is Lexothan

Lexothan is a BENZODIAZEPINE, when abused can lead to addiction & cut of breathing leading to death
Even when one abuses it too much it becomes difficult to stop it

Since the body is used to it The person starts to have effect of Withdrawal which can show as Seizures, Anxiety, High blood pressure, Palpitations, Tremors and even Death

Don't abuse sleeping Pills
We advocate for Sleep Hygiene which involves

-Avoiding late night meals'
- No TV or bright light in bedrooms
-avoid energy drinks & caffeine
- don't think of your problems before going to bed
-cool shower
- bedroom should be dedicated for sleep only!
- fixed bedtime
-Good sex

When bathing , Normalise washing these body parts that are usually forgotten and matter a lot

-Neck
- If you have big Fupa lift it up and wash under
-inside your navel
- if you have a big belly that folds, lift it up, wash beneath the folds
-Armpit
- In between the Butt cheeks
-Beneath the breasts
- Between the toes

In a lot of these areas, folds of skins are overlapping each other & there is a high tendency for it to be moist and damp.

this increases the chances of fungal infections and growth

This is a Tapeworm either ( Taenia saginata or Taenia solium)
