Madison Clinic Helps Young Diabetes Patients Manage Their Own Care

Diabetes: Balancing your insulin, medication and exercise

The Madison Clinic serves a higher-than-average percentage of minority patients with type 1 diabetes, making it a good site for researching these differences. Roughly 25 percent of the clinics families are Latino, and African-American families are proportionately higher than in the overall U.S. population of patients with diabetes. Naranjo has gathered detailed information from 20 clinic families so far, using a combination of surveys and in-depth interviews with patients and family members. One emerging pattern, according to Naranjo, is that Latino parents do not necessarily value transition in the same way that the medical world does. The transition model used in medical settings is designed to help young adults take over monitoring their health, making their own appointments and interfacing with insurance companies or other agencies. Latino parents often wonder Why should I burden my child in that way? said Naranjo. Many Latino families continue living together longer into adulthood than non-Latino families, and consequently, parents continue to play a big role in their young adults diabetes management. Latino children may also look at the transition process differently, particularly if their parents are uninsured and struggling to treat their own chronic health problems, such as high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes.

9, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), clinical experts and device manufacturers, at a meeting convened by the Diabetes Technology Society (DTS), discussed the need for improving post-market surveillance and quality assurance. During the meeting, DTS presented a plan to develop a mandatory post-market surveillance program that could provide independent assessment of FDA-cleared SMBG systems to ensure they maintain accuracy standards. The program would be led by a diverse steering committee and implemented in several labs across the U.S. and outside of the U.S. This program could deliver performance verification information to the FDA and generate information to assist patients, healthcare providers and payers with product selections.

Beat The Five Biggest Weight Loss Killers, Including Sluggish Thyroid

The thyroid gland is responsible for producing thyroid hormone, which is the “master metabolic control mechanism,” according to the Life Extension Foundation (LEF). This vital hormone regulates the body’s resting levels of energy, sets its metabolism rate, and regulates proper growth and development, among other functions. But exposure to fluoride chemicals, excess soy intake, iodine deficiency, and various other negative factors tend to rob the thyroid of its ability to regulate the complex systems of the body, which can lead to weight gain in many people. Symptoms of low thyroid, or hypothyroidism, include things like being cold-natured, suffering from routine brain “fog,” and having dry hair, skin and nails. In addition to consulting with your doctor or health practitioner, some practical ways you can help boost thyroid function at home include bathing in and drinking only fluoride-free water; supplementing with Nascent, Lugol’s, Iodoral, or another high-quality iodine nutrient, eating more iodine-rich sea vegetables, avoiding soy intake, and shying away from wheat and gluten products that may be damaging your thyroid. 2) Food allergies and sensitivities. Many people have food sensitivities or allergies of which they are unaware, and these triggers of systemic inflammation can be an insurmountable barrier in the fight to lose weight .

Complete Nutrition Makes Inc. 500|5000 List for Fourth Straight Year

The move comes after months of trying to increase attendance at the nutrition site located at the Henrietta Township Hall, 11120 Musbach Road in Munith. Attendance has declined to two or three people a day, Department on Aging Director Marce Wandell said. The DOA runs eight senior nutrition center sites throughout the county. When Department on Aging officials learned attendance was low at the Henrietta senior nutrition site in July, the hours of operation were reduced to one day a week. Seniors using the site have been notified of the closing and will be offered frozen meals to take home instead of a hot meal. Seniors could also visit one of the other seven nutrition center sites in the county. With so few taking advantage of the hot meal, the department had to find ways to reduce costs.

However, oxidation is necessary for life, and preventing too much of this process can be a bad thing because cells that need to be destroyed, such as cancer cells, won’t be. There have been several important studies showing the harmful effects of vitamins. Dr. Paul Offit says everyone should be more skeptical about taking large doses of vitamins.

Vitamins: Too much of a not-so-good thing?

Dr. Paul Offit says everyone should be more skeptical about taking large doses of vitamins.

In fact, after reviewing a large body of research in 2006, the National Institutes of Health decided not to definitively rule for or against multivitamins’ ability to prevent diseases. The Harvard report notes that “the heaviest users of vitamin and mineral supplements are Americans who probably need them the least: people who are well educated, have higher incomes, exercise, and already have healthy diets.” So what are the quickest ways to boost the vitamin content in your meals? The report identifies about three dozen foods that have the most nutrients per calorie, including avocados, berries, cantaloupe, dark leafy greens, eggs, yogurt, lentils, beans, almonds, fish, chicken and turkey. And although most people think of citrus as the best source of vitamin C, a red pepper has twice as much as an orange. Similarly, potatoes and white beans have more potassium than bananas.
