Aside of course for physical exercise and proper care for the right eating habit,it could be one of the most reliable and credible form of prevention for the next generation of our people.
Diabetes now affects
about 8 million Filipinos
making the country
a diabetes hotspot.
People afflicted with
this disease can
feel confused, depressed, and
overwhelmed. But this
need not be.
The first and
only concept
of its kind,
The Diabetes Store (TDS) is a friendly one-stop-shop that believes in a collaborative approach in managing diabetes by working closely with the patient’s doctor and family members.
The Diabetes Store works to build a community of people with diabetes. Through this support group, it invites its members to share and learn from their personal experiences. On top of that, members like Ms. Nedy Tejada can enjoy special perks and discounts from the store.
The DEs engage with the patients by personally guiding them in their progress listening to their experiences, recommending suitable products and services, and addressing lingering questions about their lifestyle. In doing so, the store works to build a collaborative and friendly community with doctors, people with diabetes, and those that care for them. “In managing diabetes, we believe in holistic care which encompasses both medical and other interventions such as education, psychosocial support which increases compliance,” said Dr. Danilo Baldemor of the IInstitute for Studies on Diabetes Foundation, Inc. (ISDFI)

According to Ramon
Felix, the General
Manager of TDS,
“the store’s interior
was designed to be
a venue conducive
for interaction. With
a warm ambience,
the store wants
patients to feel
welcomed to sample our
products, be assessed
on their diet,
and chat with
our DEs. And
for patients who can’t
visit the store
in BF Homes Paranaque, they
can access and
shop online for
our products at www.thediabetesstore.com.ph. We’ve
made it convenient by
accepting cash-ondelivery payments from
Metro Manila and
selected provinces.”Aside from
offering products and
services.
As a 55-year old administrative manager who has been diagnosed with diabetes for 20 years, she gets a 5% discount on TDS products and services, special promo offerings, and invitations to community events, all for an annual membership fee of P499.00.
More than just conducting transactions, TDS engages with people – from the
doctors to the patients and their families, to better manage their condition so that those with diabetes can live normal and fulfilling lives. Dr. Ma. Cecilia Cruz of the Philippine Society of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism (PSEDM) advises that, “we need to prevent the complications of diabetes such as blindness, amputation, and kidney failure which are all costly to treat and reduce one’s quality of life.”
