World Stroke Day - October 29 Every 40 seconds, someone has a stroke, but around 80% of strokes are preventable with the right knowledge and action. At Intelmed, we believe raising awareness is essential to saving lives. People at higher risk include those with high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, or unhealthy habits like smoking and physical inactivity. However, you can lower your risk by maintaining a healthy diet, staying active, keeping your blood pressure in check, and avoiding smoking. And remember, if you spot the signs of a stroke, act FAST: F-Face drooping A-Arm weakness S-Speech difficulty T-Time to call emergency services Know the signs. Act quickly.

🚶♀️ Diabetes & Poor Circulation: What You Should Know #DiabetesChat #DiabetesAndFootCare Poor blood circulation in the feet and legs is a common issue for people with diabetes. It can reduce your body's ability to fight infections and heal wounds, increasing the risk of complications like ulcers. Diabetes also narrows and hardens blood vessels, making proper foot care essential. 💡 Quick Tip: Talk to your doctor about wearing compression socks to improve circulation. They can provide gentle pressure to keep your blood flowing, but always consult a healthcare professional before use. Prioritize your foot health to stay one step ahead! 👣
