1 in 8 people will have type 2 diabetes by 2045

Posted on by

Concerning new research just presented at this year’s European Congress on Obesity in Vienna indicates that almost one in eight people will have type 2 diabetes and that almost a quarter of people worldwide will be obese by 2045.

The study was presented by Dr Alan Moses of Novo Nordisk Research and contributors from University College London. You can read the full study here.

They predict a highly significant rise from 14% in 2017 to 22% in 2045 for obesity and a rise in diabetes from 9% to 12% in the same period.

What is diabetes?

Diabetes is a condition that causes a person’s blood sugar to become too high.

Type 2 diabetes (which is the most common type of diabetes) is where the body does not produce enough insulin or is no longer able to react to insulin.

Insulin is a hormone produced by your pancreas that controls the amount of sugar in your blood.

What is obesity?

Obesity is a definition of how overweight a person is. A person who is obese is someone who measures 30 – 39.9 on the BMI scale. Someone who is obese has a lot of excess fat.

How does this relate to pancreatic cancer?

Obesity and diabetes are well documented risk factors for pancreatic cancer. This means that if there is a significant rise in either of these two diseases we will likely see a rise in pancreatic cancer.

Recent studies have shown that risk is higher in people who are obese (have a Body Mass Index of more than 30). Some studies show that obese women who carry their weight on their stomach area are at an increased risk of developing pancreatic cancer.

There have been a number of reports which suggest that diabetics have an increased risk of developing pancreatic cancer.

What can be done?

Dr Moses believes that is possible to turn this trend around “despite the challenge all countries are facing with obesity and diabetes, the tide can be turned – but it will take aggressive and coordinated action to reduce obesity and individual cities should play a key role in confronting the issues around obesity, some of which are common to them all and others that are unique to each of them.”

We all have our part to play by trying to live a healthy lifestyle. For help on losing weight, the NHS offer a free plan to help you lose weight please click here to see it.

Homeopathic Medicine Store ? Where you can get all type of Homeopathic Medicines

Posted on by

Every individual chooses best for him and his family. Especially when it comes to health issues, he becomes more cautious. These days’ people are loosing trust on allopathic medicines due to their harmful and negative effects along with astounding fees and cost in treatment. This has made them to switch their minds to other alternatives. This has led them to stop at homeopathic treatment. Homeopathy is not a new branch in medical science but it has gained popularity in recent past only. This is less expensive and more effective treatment without any side effects and toxic results.

 

Homeopathy tries to bring harmony in the unbalanced body through homeopathic medicines which work on the principle of ‘like cures like’. Theses medicines are prepared with natural substances derived from plants and herbs. Sometimes minerals are also added in them. The process of their formation is also different and unique. They mainly add compounds in much diluted form that will stimulate immune system so as not to create any problem. This stimulation will then generate antibodies against the prevailing harmful elements in the body. Extreme care has to be taken while their preparation as minute changes in concentration can cause negative effects of medicines.

 

To find the homeopathic medicines you have one specific place i.e. homeopathic medical store. Homeopathic medical store is the place where you can find all types of homeopathic medicines. These stores are run by a licensed practitioner or a certified individual. Homeopathic medicines work a little slowly so do not expect an instant result. This is because it does not work on superficial level but work on the main reasons and imbalances in body.

 

 

If an individual is thinking to start up with any such medical store where you can get all type of homeopathic medicines, he has to follow certain steps and rules for a successful establishment. First of all he needs to educate himself through various certification courses available online. For such practicing individual we would suggest to enhance your knowledge and content through either reading books or visiting other professional practitioners. After this, visit your local office to get necessary requirements for licensing. Fulfill all criteria and get the professional license from there. Now you have to set a proper business plan to attract customers and compete with your rivals. Try to select a suitable location which would enhance your business. Setting this store requires heavy investment initially so it is better to apply for loan from a trusted bank.

 

Once you have set up with all this, you require a suitable management. If you think you are knowledgeable enough then you can also hire a practitioner with experience. Customers’ feedback is very effective way to know about the quality of your product and services so maintain a customers” testimonial or remarks register. Also maintain your business account so that you can analyze it at the end of the month and plan further accordingly. The best marketing of your homeopathic medical store can be done through launching a business website and providing online services to your customers.

 

The main criteria for selecting your medical store for homeopathic medicines should be a certified license. Some inexperienced and self proclaimed persons also start with such business without any knowledge so to escape from them you have to a clever customer.

Type 2 diabetes costing NHS £8.8bn each year

Posted on by

It is estimated that 600,000 people in the UK have Type 2 diabetes but have yet to be diagnosed. Including the undiagnosed, that’s around 4 million people in the UK alone. And since 1996, the number of people with diabetes has doubled making this one of the fastest growing diseases. And yet for many it is completely preventable.

Lack of awareness and screening have been partly to blame. And that’s not just lack of awareness amongst the general public. GPs need to be more attentive to the risk factors amongst their patient population including signs of high blood pressure, patients who are overweight or obese, as well as being more aware of susceptible groups such as men, young people and those of minority race or ethnicity. It is clear that the likelihood of developing Type 2 diabetes is increased by being overweight. And the problem is being felt across the NHS with costs associated with diabetes care reaching a staggering £8.8bn every single year. This isn’t sustainable long-term.

1 in 4 people are totally unaware they have diabetes; there needs to be more education around the condition and the association of co-morbidity; complications such as foot amputation, kidney disease, stroke and heart attack are just a few.

NHS England, Public Health England and Diabetes UK have launched the Healthier You: Diabetes Prevention Programme (NHS DPP) designed to reduce the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes in higher risk groups by offering dietary and exercise advise. UK  coverage, however isn’t likely for another 3 years, so clearly there is still a long way to go.

Diabetes is a serious condition and if it’s not diagnosed or poorly managed it can lead to significant health problems and ultimately death. Someone with diabetes is likely to have a reduced life expectancy too.

There are some symptoms to look out for, and anyone experiencing any of these should consult their GP:

  • feeling very thirsty
  • going to the toilet for a wee frequently especially at night
  • feeling very tired
  • loss of weight or muscle bulk
  • itching around the penis or vagina – frequent episodes of thrush
  • wounds, cuts and grazes healing slowly
  • blurred vision

For more information about all types of diabetes, take a look at the talkhealth Patient Journeys:

 

Diabetes Research

talkhealth will be launching a diabetes research survey to find out more from members and visitors about their experience of diabetes and knowledge around the condition.

How to Choose the Best Treatment for Eczema By Skin Type

Posted on by

By Laura Dolgy (see bio below)

If you didn’t already know, eczema comes in many different forms. Although eczema is known for being itchy and dry, it is also known for causing sores, welts, redness, and scaly skin. If you’ve been frantically searching the web looking to classify your type of eczema and find the best treatment for it, but have been unsuccessful, you’ll want to read this post! In it we breakdown the most common forms of eczema, as well as the best natural treatment for eczema by type.

Please keep in mind that although these treatments can relieve eczema, we are in no way medical professionals. If you’re experiencing severe eczema symptoms like fever or an infection, it is best to seek medical advice immediately.

Types of Eczema – which form of eczema do you have?

1. Itchy/Red/Dry Eczema

This is probably one of the most common forms of eczema. If you find yourself with patches of chronically itchy, dry eczema on your hands, neck, face or legs then you know all too well how irritating and embarrassing this type of eczema can be. Not to mention that relentless scratching!

The best type of treatment for this eczema type is both healing balms and creams to penetrate and successfully moisturize the skin. One of our favorites is Organic Manuka Skin Soothing Cream which is thick in texture and rich in emollients, making it an excellent treatment for eczema due to its soothing and calming nature. For facial eczema that is red, dry or itchy, you can opt for a spray (for easier application) that contains soothing ingredients like honey, calendula oil or aloe. This Organic Aloe Vera Skin Soothing Spray helps beat the itch with its cooling properties without being greasy.

2. Red/Weeping Eczema

Although many eczema sufferers are burdened with the more common itchy and red skin, others experience red and oozing skin as well. This eczema type is characterized by patches of angry and crusty skin that can also burst and ooze with pus. Not to mention it can be beyond itchy and irritating. For those going through Topical Steroid Withdrawal, the skin usually falls into this category.

For this type of eczema, you’re going to want a natural balm or ointment that doesn’t irritate the skin and that will help fight off the infectious nature of open skin. If your skin is blistering, using EczeHerbal #1 oozing eczema treatment will help wonders. This ointment is formulated using Chinese herbs, GMO free and safe for both topical use and if accidentally ingested. Plus – it can be used on pets! We also love the Hot Skin Soother for red eczema rashes. Because this type of eczema creates open sores, you’ll want to go for a treatment that is both anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory. Using a Pine Tar Soap that does not contain creosote will help soothe and heal itchy skin as well.

3. Thick/Scaly Eczema

Similarly to dry eczema, this type is characterized with thick and scaly patches of skin that can either be itchy or just plain embarrassing. The patches end up thickening over time, causing a crocodile skin type effect.

To treat thickened dry skin, you’ll want to opt for a cream or ointment that not only moisturizes, but also penetrates the skin. Emily Skin Soothers for Thick, Dry Eczema is a great treatment for this type of eczema. Not only do the herbs in the formula promote circulation and accelerate healing, but it was formulated with scaly eczema and psoriasis in mind. Grass Fed Tallow Balm is also an excellent moisturizer and is extremely nourishing for very dry and scaly skin. Looking for an easy treatment for eczema you can use in the shower? This Grass Fed Tallow Soap is excellent for every one of all ages, including those on a Paleo or GAPS diet and can be used on sensitive and allergy prone skin as well.

4. Psoriasis

Although not technically a type of eczema, psoriasis is often confused with eczema. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder (which eczema is now often being labeled as well) in which the body’s immune system produces inflammation and damages healthy skin tissue. This condition affects several parts of the body such as the face, palms, scalp and genitals, but it can also appear widespread.

The best natural remedies for psoriasis have extra moisturizing properties to penetrate the characteristic thick scales that identify this skin condition. The products recommended for Thick/Scaly Eczema will do just the trick in this case too – take a peek at those just above.

For bathing, Emily Skin Soothers Natural Body Wash is extremely gentle and soothes the driest skin. It also does not contain chemicals or fragrance, so it is affective for allergy or sensitive prone skin as well. Do you prefer a soap in bar form? Try Emily Skin Soothers Soap!

5. Baby Eczema

Sweet, delicate skin deserves extra special care, so we gave baby eczema it’s own category. With all forms of baby eczema comes parental panic and anxiety. Although there are many different types of baby eczema such us baby seborrhea, cradle cap, oozing eczema and more, most of them are characterized by red, angry and itchy skin all over the body. The following eczema treatments for babies should work wonders.

For hot, angry baby skin, Emily Skin Soothers for Severe Diaper Rash can be doubled up as an ointment for diaper rash and other forms of dermatitis. It also contains beeswax that acts a barrier, as well as an antiseptic which is great for any baby eczema treatment. For babies with eczema that is dry, cracked or sensitive, using a calendula based ointment like Organic Calendula Salve is a great option. Not only is it super soothing, yet it contains a ton of vitamins, antioxidants, natural enzymes and more!

Although there are many forms of dermatitis, the treatment for eczema doesn’t need to be complicated! These suggestions are one step to relief, but if you really want to heal your skin, you’ll want to heal from within by first taking a look at your diet. Many of us don’t realize that what we put into our bodies sometimes causes the most issues externally. The Eczema Cure is a great eBook based on eliminating common trigger foods and adding gut healing foods, so that you can start healing your skin naturally today.
