My name is Sr. Philadelphia Jacobs, a Professional Nurse and Diabetes Specialist with over a decade of experience in healthcare. My journey in nursing began with a Diploma in General Nursing Sciences, which I completed through the Mediclinic Northern Region Learning Centre in 2016. I spent 10 years in bedside nursing, where I gained invaluable clinical experience and developed a deep compassion for patient care.
Driven by a growing interest in diabetes and its far-reaching impact, I pursued advanced studies in this field. I completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Diabetes in 2023 and a Master of Science (MSc) in Diabetes in 2024, both through the University of South Wales (UK). To further expand my expertise, I obtained a Postgraduate Certificate in Metabolic Medicine (covering Diabetes, Hypertension, and Obesity) from the same institution in 2025.
During weekdays, I serve as a Professional Nurse in the practice of a specialist physician at Mediclinic Potchefstroom, where I manage patients with complex medical conditions. Recognizing the urgent need for accessible diabetes education and support in my community, I have established GlycoThrive, my diabetes practice, operating on Saturdays in Potchefstroom and Parys.
My vision for GlycoThrive is rooted in empowerment—helping people living with diabetes and related metabolic conditions gain the knowledge and tools they need to take control of their health. Diabetes remains one of the leading causes of death in South Africa, but with timely education, lifestyle interventions, and compassionate care, complications can be prevented or delayed.
I am passionate about partnering with my patients on their health journey, providing them with evidence-based guidance tailored to their unique needs.
