Book excerpt: The Savvy Diabetic: A Survival Guide is a collection of tips, tools, and techniques, borne out of experiences and mistakes and lots of on-the-job learning. After 43 years as a Type 1 diabetic, I had successfully and deliberately avoided hospitals. I was suddenly confronted with my worst fears: an emergency appendectomy 3000 miles away from my home. I was terrified of losing the control of my diabetes which I had worked so hard to maintain. I was woefully unprepared. Wow, did I learn! Five years later and several more hospitalizations and doctors' appointments, as well as many experiences with travel and just life, I wanted to share what I have learned, hoping my insights and experiences will help you to: Live well and in balance with diabetes Survive the medical system as a person with diabetes Feel validated in your feelings about this disease Have more tools to help support someone you love who has diabetes Smile and even laugh about your own experiences 10% of net proceeds will be donated to JDRF (Improving Lives, Curing Type 1 Diabetes), InsulinPumpers.org, and University of California, Irvine Center for Diabetes Treatment and Research.

The answers to all of these questions will be displayed in real life scenarios to ensure each one is delivered with evidence of actuality provided.

Download or read book Diabetes Among the Pima written by Carolyn Smith-Morris and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2008-03-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past forty years, the Pima Indians living in the Gila River Indian Community have been among the most consistently studied diabetic populations in the world. But despite many medical advances, the epidemic is continuing and prevalence rates are increasing. Diabetes among the Pima is the first in-depth ethnographic volume to delve into the entire spectrum of causes, perspectives, and conditions that underlie the occurrence of diabetes in this community. Drawing on the narratives of pregnant Pima women and nearly ten yearsÕ work in this community, this book reveals the PimasÕ perceptions and understanding of type 2 and gestational diabetes, and their experience as they live in the midst of a health crisis. Arguing that the prenatal period could offer the best hope for curbing this epidemic, Smith-Morris investigates many core values informing the PimasÕ experience of diabetes: motherhood, foodways, ethnic identity, exercise, attitude toward health care, and a willingness to seek care. Smith-Morris contrasts gripping first-person narratives with analyses of several political, economic, and biomedical factors that influence diabetes among the Pimas. She also integrates major theoretical explanations for the disease and illuminates the strengths and weaknesses of intervention strategies and treatment. An important contribution to the ongoing struggle to understand and prevent diabetes, this volume will be of special interest to experts in the fields of epidemiology, genetics, public health, and anthropology.

Download or read book The Public Health Crisis Survival Guide written by Giuseppe Sodeman and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-15 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Survival rates in kidney cancer have improved little over time, and diabetes may be an independent risk factor for poor survival in kidney cancer. We sought to determine whether medications with putative anti-neoplastic properties (statins, metformin, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)) are associated with survival in diabetics with kidney cancer. Highlights include: 1. The role of medications when society collapses 2. What to prepare for, from a preparatory and statistical perspective 3. Prioritizing medications for particular use cases 4. Acquiring drugs after a collapse; what to look for and how to increase your chances of success 5. Safety through science: prescription medications vs. natural treatments 6. Drug logistics: expirations, storage, transport, and many other factors 7. Practicing pharmaceutical sense and sensibility It focuses on the medications that will help keep you alive. Sure, food and shelter are essential needs, but when a tiny pill can mean the difference between life and death, understanding its function can help assure your health and longevity.
