Durga Mandir: Medical Table on September 6, 2015
On September 6, 2015 the NADI team set up a medical table where blood pressure and random blood glucose were tested. Coordination with and table setup at Durga Mandir was possible due to Dr. Prithvi Bhalla. The NADI clinical team performed a random blood glucose test for over 70 adults, in addition to checking blood pressure for approximately 110 adults. The team present at this event comprised of Harnish Patel, Jay Patel, Aditya Sitwala, and Aayush Visaria. We hope to have raised awareness and provide guidelines to the South Asian community so that cases of diabetes and hypertension can decrease.
During this event, we tested blood pressure manually with a stethoscope + cuff and automatically using a HealthGuru Professional Upper-am Blood Pressure Monitor. We tested blood pressure in both arms. Blood glucose was tested using TrueResult glucose monitor and TrueTest test strips. All equipment is readily available at local stores and CLIA-waived.
