మంచి హోస్ట్‌గా ఉండండి!

మీరు జిమ్ కీ వెళ్లకుండా, కఠినమైన డైట్లూ చేయకుండా అలవోకగా కొన్ని కేలరీలు ఖర్చు చేయడానికి అనువైన మార్గాన్ని అన్వేషిస్తున్నారా? సరే, మీ కోసం నా దగ్గరో ఉపాయం ఉంది చెప్పమంటారా: మంచి హోస్ట్‌గా ఉండండి! అవును, మీరు విన్నది నిజమే.

మీ ఇంటికో మిత్రుడో, బంధువో లేదా ఎవరైనా అతిధులో వచ్చినప్పుడు, దయచేసి లేవండి. అవును ఊరికే మంచానికి సాగిలపడి హాయ్ అంటూ చేతులు ఊపుతూ కూర్చోకండి. వారిని చిరునవ్వుతో స్వాగతించండి మరియు వారికి తినడానికి లేదా త్రాగడానికి ఏదైనా అందించండి. మీరు షడ్రషోపేతంగా ఖరీదైన విందు భోజనాలు వండి వార్చి వడ్డించాల్సిన అవసరమేమీ లేదు, కేవలం ఒక కప్పు టీ లేదా ఒక గ్లాసు మంచినీళ్లు మరియు అల్పాహారమైన చాలు. వారితో సరదాగా కబుర్లు చెప్పుకోండి మరియు వారి జీవిత విశేషాల పట్ల ఆసక్తి చూపండి. కేవలం తల ఊపి "ఉహ్-హు" లేదా "అది బాగుంది" "ఇది బాగుంది" అని చెప్పి సరి పెట్టకండి. ప్రశ్నలు అడుగుతుండండి, కథలను పంచుకోండి, వారు వేసే జోకులను వింటూ నవ్వుకోండి. ఇది వారిని ప్రశంసించినట్టు ఉండటమే కాక, మీ మెదడు మరియు నోటిని కూడా బిజీగా ఉంచినట్టు అవుతుంది.
మరియు వారు బయలుదేరుతున్నప్పుడు, దయచేసి మళ్లీ లేచి, ఇంటి గేటు వరకు వారితో పాటు వెళ్లండి. కేవలం "బై" అని అరిచి తలుపు వేసుకొని మళ్లీ కుర్చీలో కూలబడకండి. వారితోపాటు గేటు వరకు నడవండి మరియు వారిని కౌగిలించుకోండి లేదా కరచాలనం చేయండి. ఇది మీకు కొన్ని కేలరీలు ఖర్చు చేయడంలో సహాయ పడటమే కాక, అదే సమయంలో అతిధులకు కొంత ప్రేమ మరియు ఆప్యాయతలను అందించినట్లు అవుతుంది. నన్ను నమ్మండి, వారు మీ ఆతిథ్యాన్ని అభినందించటమే కాదు మీరు కూడా మీ తరఫున మంచి అనుభూతిని పొందినవారవుతారు.
ఇంకా దేని కోసం ఎదురు చూస్తున్నారు? ఈ రోజు నుంచే మంచి హోస్ట్‌గా ఉండటం ప్రారంభించండి మరియు అదిగో ఆ కేలరీలు కరిగిపోవడం గమనిస్తూ ఆనందించండి!

New stick-on diabetes device offers a break from finger pricking

Diabetics who must prick their fingers to test levels every day often end up with sore and calloused hands – which is why needle-free devices are always a welcome arrival in the treatment market.

New glucose sensor on the scene that can be worn on the back of the upper arm and monitors glucose levels for up to 14 days. The Libre sensor can work for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes and it continuously monitors blood sugar levels from a 5mm-long prong that is nestled under the skin and reacts with bodily fluids.

Finger pricking can lead to poor diabetes control if patients struggle to prick often enough due to irritation or inconvenience. “Finger-¬pricking is a hassle and can be embarrassing,". "Many people forget to do it so don’t have a complete ¬picture of their condition. Failing to control long-term ¬diabetes can cause diabetic ¬retino¬pathy, renal failure and foot comp¬lications that can lead to ¬amputation."

Without consistent readings, patients can't get an accurate picture of their daily blood sugar patterns – a problem the new sensor aims to solve. The Libre can store up to eight hours worth of data before it must be downloaded, and it can work through clothing. If approved, the device could be on the market for sale later this year.

DSDSC - World Heart Day 2012

To mark World Heart Day 2012, Dr. Srikanth's Diabetes Specialities Centre – Vijayawada, urges you to take action to save the lives of people with diabetes from heart diseases. Making even just a few changes can help to reduce their risk of heart disease and stroke in people with diabetes: encourage healthy eating and physical activity, and ban tobacco use. We understand that this is sometimes easier said than done, but we hope that the tips below will help you make a start.

If you have diabetes, you are at least twice as likely as someone who does not have diabetes to have heart disease. People with diabetes also tend to develop heart disease at an earlier age than other people. If you are middle-aged and have type 2 diabetes, some studies suggest that your chance of having a heart attack is as high as someone without diabetes who has already had one heart attack. People with diabetes who have already had one heart attack run an even greater risk of having a second one. In addition, heart attacks in people with diabetes are more serious and more likely to result in death.

Diabetes itself is a risk factor for heart disease. Also, many people with diabetes have other conditions like central obesity, abnormal blood fat (cholesterol) levels, high blood pressure, Smoking that increase their chance of developing heart disease.

What can I do to prevent or delay heart disease and stroke? Even if you are at high risk for heart disease and stroke, you can help keep your heart and blood vessels healthy. You can do so by taking the following steps: Make sure that your diet is "heart-healthy.", Make physical activity part of your routine, Reach and maintain a healthy body weight, If you smoke- quit, Ask your doctor whether you should take aspirin, Get prompt treatment for transient ischemic attacks (TIAs). Keep your A1C target Below 7 percent, Blood glucose targets 90 to 130 mg/dL Before meals and Less than 180 mg/dL 1 to 2 hours after the start of a meal, Blood pressure target Below 130/80 mm Hg, Bad cholesterol targets Under 100 mg/dL. ONE WORLD ONE HOME ONE HEART.

Diabetes and Smoking - Another Reason to Quit

As if there are not enough reasons to quit smoking, breaking the habit is even more important if you have diabetes or want to avoid getting it. If you smoke and think you are otherwise in good health, think again. Smoking 16 to 25 cigarettes a day increases your risk for Type 2 diabetes to three times that of a non-smoker. The more risk factors a person has, the greater the chances are of developing diabetes. While smoking can increase your chances of getting diabetes, it can also make managing diabetes more difficult for those who already have it. Other complications of smoking on diabetes include retinopathy (eye disease), heart disease, stroke, vascular disease, kidney disease, nerve damage, foot problems, and many others. A person with some or all of the risk factors might never develop diabetes, but your chances increase as more risk factors are present. Certain risk factors like age, family history, and ethnicity cannot be altered, but a change in lifestyle that includes eating a modified diet, increasing physical activity, and quitting smoking might help reduce the risk.
