November is National Diabetes Month. We want to take time to raise awareness about the impact of diabetes, a chronic disease that affects millions of people in America. One condition is diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) which causes nerve damage throughout your body usually starting in your feet. And if left untreated, has the potential to lead to infection and/or amputation of the affected area. DPN affects about half of all people with diabetes. There are steps diabetics can take to prevent or delay further damage and may lessen your DPN symptoms. • Managing your diet to keep your Blood Glucose (Blood Sugar) levels in your target range. • Taking good care of your feet with the right shoes and monitoring any sores or foot problems. • Using medications to relieve pain and reduce burning, numbness and tingling. One treatment option to help your DPN symptoms is using QUTENZA an 8% topical system that has shown to provide pain relief for up to 3 months. It is administered by a healthcare professional and given 4 times a year. While it may look like a patch, QUTENZA uses unique patented technology, designed to treat nerve pain at the source of pain by delivering medication deeper into the skin. Speak with your doctor to find out what treatments are best for you.

Type 2 Diabetes Prevention Week is taking place from Monday 22nd May to Sunday 28th May this year Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that occurs when the body doesn't produce enough insulin or doesn't use insulin properly, resulting in high blood sugar. Eventually, high blood sugar levels can lead to disorders of the circulatory, nervous and immune systems. Type 2 is more common in older adults. But the increase in the number of children with obesity has led to more cases of type 2 diabetes in younger people. There's no cure for type 2 diabetes. Losing weight, eating well and exercising can help manage the disease. If diet and exercise aren't enough to control blood sugar, diabetes medications or insulin therapy may be recommended. Symptoms of type 2 diabetes often develop slowly. In fact, you can be living with type 2 diabetes for years and not know it. When symptoms are present, they may include but are not limited to: Increased thirst. Frequent urination. Increased hunger. Unintended weight loss. Fatigue. Blurred vision. Slow-healing sores. Frequent infections. Numbness or tingling in the hands or feet. Areas of darkened skin, usually in the armpits and neck. www.daisyholisticare.com 561-797-4055 #daisyholisticare #primarycareathome #inhomevisit #virtualvisit #diabetesprevention #diabetesmanagement #obesitymanagement #weightlossmanagement #diabetesawareness

-World Diabetes Day Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the pancreas is unable to produce enough insulin, or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Blood glucose (or blood sugar) levels rise above normal levels, which, over time, can lead to serious damage to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves if left uncontrolled. - Objectives: 1. Raise awareness about the impact of diabetes in society, encourage early diagnosis, and support those affected. 2. Raise awareness about ways to prevent diabetes or delay its onset, through a healthy diet and physical activity. 3. Strengthen the role of the family in health education in the treatment of diabetes. 4. Prevent its complications and increase awareness about the warning signs of its infection. 5. Provide medicines, technologies, support, and care to all diabetics who need them. - Facts: 1. Diabetes has become one of the leading causes of death worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 1.5 million people worldwide died from diabetes in 2019. 2. It is estimated that 537 million people are currently living with diabetes worldwide. By 2045, this number is expected to rise to about 783 million people worldwide. 3. Millions of people with diabetes worldwide do not receive diabetes care. 4. People with diabetes need ongoing care and support to manage their condition and avoid complications. 5. Diabetes caused 6.7 million deaths in 2021. 6. Diabetes can be treated, and its consequences can be avoided or delayed by following a healthy diet, exercising, taking prescribed medication, getting regular checkups, and treating complications. 7. Diabetes is a leading cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, strokes, and lower limb amputations. #polycaremedicalsl #freetwonsierraleone #diabetes #worlddiabetesday #WorldDiabetesDay #WDD2024 #DiabetesAwareness #KnowYourNumbers #type #diabetesawareness #t #diabetestype #diabetesawarenessmonth #diabetesmanagement #diabetescare #diabetic #diabetesdiet #

November marks Diabetes Awareness Month, a time to shed light on a condition affecting millions globally. Diabetes is a chronic disease where the body struggles to regulate blood sugar levels, leading to serious health complications if unmanaged. There are two primary types: -Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. This type often develops in childhood or adolescence and requires lifelong insulin therapy. As of 2021, approximately 8.4 million people worldwide live with Type 1 diabetes, a number projected to rise to 17.4 million by 2040. -Type 2 Diabetes is more common and typically develops in adults, though it's increasingly seen in younger individuals. It occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn't produce enough. Lifestyle factors such as diet, physical activity, and weight management play significant roles in its development and management. In 2021, an estimated 537 million adults (20-79 years) were living with diabetes, with Type 2 accounting for over 90% of cases. Raising awareness about diabetes is crucial for prevention, early detection, and effective management. By understanding the differences between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, we can better support those affected and work towards reducing the global impact of this condition. #DiabetesAwareness #Type1Diabetes #Type2Diabetes #HealthEducation #ecxo #T1D #T2D

November is Diabetes Awareness Month 🩺 Diabetes is a condition where the body’s ability to produce insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, is altered. Insulin is key in regulating blood sugar levels and ensuring our body has the energy it needs. There are two main types of diabetes: Type 1 Diabetes: Often diagnosed in youth, this is an autoimmune process where the immune system attacks cells in the pancreas, reducing insulin production. Type 2 Diabetes: Largely related to diet and lifestyle, this type typically occurs in adults over 40 but is now increasingly seen in younger people. Symptoms that might indicate diabetes include: -Excessive thirst -Increased hunger -Frequent urination -Unexplained fatigue -Blurry vision -Numbness or tingling in hands or feet -Nausea, vomiting -Unexplained weight loss or gain -Slow-healing infections Risk factors for diabetes include being overweight, physical inactivity, and a high intake of carbs or sugars. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, see your physician or provider for screening.

🌟 November is National Diabetes Awareness Month 💙 Diabetes can lead to complications like heart disease, kidney failure, or vision problems if not managed well. Understanding the condition helps us better support those around us. 🔔 What’s the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes? 1️⃣ Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body stops producing insulin. It often starts in childhood but can occur at any age. Daily insulin is required to survive. 2️⃣ Type 2 Diabetes is more common and occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin. Sugary foods don't directly cause Type 2 diabetes. It can often be managed with lifestyle changes, but some may need medication or insulin. 🩺 Symptoms to watch for: Excessive thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, weight loss, and blurred vision. If you or someone you know experiences these symptoms, get checked. 🍬 It’s not just about sugar: Managing diabetes is about balancing blood sugar, insulin, activity and stress. Diabetes requires constant health management, not just avoiding sweets. ⚠️ Blood sugar swings: People with diabetes may experience dangerously high or low blood sugar. If someone with diabetes seems confused or disoriented, offering fast-acting sugar (like juice or candy) may help. Remember, our providers are here to support you every step of the way. 💙 #DiabetesAwarenessMonth #NIHD #BishopHospital
