Inspired by the deaths of her brother and uncles from diabetic-related conditions, New Amsterdam, Berbice-based physiotherapist Michelle Baird is offering food products that cater to people who have diabetes or diabetic-related conditions as well as pain management.
Nine months ago, she founded a Diabetic Clinic through which she seeks “to reverse diabetes and provide pain relief in a holistic manner through diet, therapy and support.”
A former teacher for 15 years and a single parent of a 12-year-old daughter, Baird offers alternative sources of food that are healthier and more beneficial for persons suffering from diabetes. Her clinic customises meal plans to accommodate people from different cultures. Among the alternatives offered are pea powder, sweet potato flour, moringa powder, eddo flour, baked sweet potato chips and seasoned sea moss. Baird’s daughter helps her behind the scenes.
