There are many who are at risk for diabetes who simply ignore the fact or don’t believe the threat of illness.
In fact, 79 million Americans may be prediabetic and don’t even know it.
Poor lifestyle choices, being overweight and lack of exercise are the contributing factors to a disease with overwhelming and life threatening implications.
If your doctor has diagnosed you as pre-diabetic it means that everything you are doing is leading you to develop this dangerous condition.
Work with your physician to make the necessary changes toward your best health.
Wanting to look your best in a tight dress sometimes requires a little help from body contouring under garments.
Super stretchy, body binding foundations may actually lead to bacterial infections because of their lack of breathability and to life threatening blood clots caused by ill fitting items which restrict blood flow.
Researchers from the State University of New York at Stony Brook, last month, showed in a paper that tiny defects in the bulbs can let through UV light that can damage skin cells and lead to cancer.
The phosphorus coating inside the bulb contains the dangerous UV light rays, however, the curly shape of the bulbs creates opportunity for cracks in the coating allowing harmful rays to escape.
The researchers’ data, published in the journal Photochemistry and Photobiology, is preliminary, and based on experiments in a lab. In other words, there aren’t any known cases of sunburn from light bulbs yet. The researchers say it’s also not that hard to avoid the dangerous rays; they recommend putting the light behind glass or keeping a few feet away from the bulb.
While there is no need to panic it is simply one more thing to consider when trying to keep your family safe.
Those infected with gonorrhea often show no symptoms, however, the disease can lead to serious complications, including infertility and chronic pelvic pain in women, and in men, a painful inflammation of the ducts attached to the testicles that may cause infertility.
Left untreated, according to the CDC. If the bacteria spread to the blood or joints, the condition can be life-threatening, the CDC says.
Over the last several decades, the bacteria that cause gonorrhea have developed resistance to many antibiotics used to treat the condition, including penicillin, tetracycline and fluoroquinolones.
That left just one class of drugs, called cephalosporins — which include the drugs cefixime and ceftriaxone — to be used as treatment.
But today, the CDC announced it no longer recommends cefixime, an oral medication, as a first-line treatment for gonorrhea, citing data over the last several years that show cefixime has become less effective at treating the infection.
