Drain=polyuria
These are symptoms of Diabetes Mellitus (DM)
So creative right...
Last few weeks, I visit a 53 years old Malay female and learnt about her health problems..She had DM, hyperlipidemia, and asthma. Apparently, her chief complaint for now is poor wound healing after the resection of lipoma. Why poor wound healing? It is because of DM...Then, I also found out there are proteins in her urine, which is a sign of kidney failure. Why? Again, it is a complication of DM...Oh my GOD, I'm a bit worry about her. Furthermore, she refused to take insulin injection because she was afraid of the injection.
So, after doing some readings, I feel like wanna share a bit on how to prevent DM..
1. See a doctor to screen for DM (those who are high-risk of getting one).
2. Exercise. It lowers the blood sugar.
3. Enjoy a healthy diet. Minimizing sugary and fatty foods should be a goal. Fruits, vegetables, beans, whole grains, nuts, fish, lean meats, and low-fat dairy products are all excellent choices.
4. Lose weight!!
5. Eat nuts.
6. Choose whole grains. There is slower rise of sugar.
7. Increase intake of magnesium.
8. Don't smoke!!!
9. Preventative medications . Eg: Metformin, acarbose, and ACE inhibitors. However, these medications have also been shown to be less effective than diet and exercise.
10. Herbal medicines can be good.
Take good care of health o~
