11.01.2022 Dr Bruce Chadfield GP Specialist in Diabetes Care In my opinion the development of the Medtronic 670G insulin pump with CGM is the greatest advance in Type 1 diabetes management since the use of HbA1C and the first glucometer 1977. Every person connected to T1DM should be lobbying their MP to have this pump and CGM available on medicare.

06.01.2022 Causes of: MENTAL CONFUSION IN THE THIRD AGE By: Arnaldo Liechtenstein, physician. Whenever I teach clinical medicine to students in the fourth year of medicine, I ask the following question:... What are the causes of mental confusion in the elderly? Some offer: "Tumors in the head". I answer: No! Others suggest: "Early symptoms of Alzheimer's". I answer again: No! With each rejection of their answers, their responses dry up. And they are even more open-mouthed when I list the three most common causes: - uncontrolled diabetes; - urinary infection; - dehydration It may sound like a joke, but it isn't. People over 50 constantly stop feeling thirsty and consequently stop drinking fluids. When no one is around to remind them to drink fluids, they quickly dehydrate. Dehydration is severe and affects the entire body. It may cause abrupt mental confusion, a drop in blood pressure, increased heart palpitations, angina (chest pain), coma and even death. This forgetting to drink fluids begins at age 50, when we have just over 50% of the water we should have in our bodies. People over 50 have a lower water reserve. This is part of the natural aging process. But there are more complications. Although they are dehydrated, they don't feel like drinking water, because their internal balance mechanisms don't work very well. Conclusion: People over 50 years old dehydrate easily, not only because they have a smaller water supply, but also because they do not feel the lack of water in the body. Although people over 50 may look healthy, the performance of reactions and chemical functions can damage their entire body. So here are two alerts: 1) * Get into the habit of drinking liquids *. Liquids include beer (Guinness is best), water, juices, teas, coconut water, milk, soups,and water-rich fruits, such as watermelon, melon, peaches and pineapple; Orange and tangerine also work. The important thing is that, every two hours, you must drink some liquid. Remember this! 2) Alert for family members: constantly offer fluids to people over 50. At the same time, observe them. If you realize that they are rejecting liquids and, from one day to the next, they are irritable, breathless or display a lack of attention, these are almost certainly recurrent symptoms of dehydration. Arnaldo Liechtenstein (46), physician, is a general practitioner at Hospital das Clínicas and a collaborating professor in the Department of Clinical Medicine at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of São Paulo (USP). Did you like it? So spread it out! DON'T FORGET TO DO IT NOW! Your friends and family need to know for themselves and help you to be healthier and happier. It's good to share! For people over 50

03.01.2022 I think it is vitally important all patients should boycott Chemists promoting "Instant Consult" Telehealth consults and phone consults should only be for their usual GPs who have access to the patients past history and full medical details . Do not let these money hungry marketeers wort the system so the gov will shut it down completely

02.01.2022 Weight loss and cardiovascular health. 4 Crucial points. Avoid sugars and refined grains. Instead, eat fruits, vegetables, beans, lentils, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats (a sensible, plant-based, Mediterranean-style diet). Let your body burn fat between meals. Don’t snack. Be active throughout your day. Build muscle tone. Consider a simple form of intermittent fasting. Limit the hours of the day when you eat, and for best effect, make it earlier in ...the day (between 7 am to 3 pm, or even 10 am to 6 pm, but definitely not in the evening before bed). Avoid snacking or eating at nighttime, all the time. See more
