To Your Health Living Well with Diabetes...
It is not easy to hear that you have diabetes. But you are not alone, 8.3% of the population (25.8 million children and adults in the United States) have diabetes. Learning about diabetes is the first step toward feeling better and living a longer, healthier life.
Did you know that there is a direct link between your blood sugar levels and how you feel every day? Extreme highs and lows bring on noticeable symptoms such as nausea, sweatiness, and confusion. But have you ever felt like you are moving slowly, are easily distracted, grumpy or short-tempered? These things can also be signals that your blood sugar is out of range. Blood sugar monitoring is the only way to know if you are in range. That means testing when it matters most – and acting on your results.
Eating well is another important step toward feeling better and living a longer, healthier life. Making gradual changes in your meals and snacks and making those changes a permanent part of your lifestyle, will help you achieve a healthy body weight which contributes to overall wellness.
“Hip replacement is one of the most effective surgeries in the history of medicine,” says Dr. Hogan. “The direct anterior approach makes it even better. I have seen patients recover faster and with less pain than would be expected with other hip replacement techniques.”
Advancements in the design of surgical instru- ments coupled with the specialized expertise and training of surgeons like Dr. Hogan, have resulted in several advantages over traditional approaches to hip replacement. The new, mini- mally invasive anterior approach is a great option for patients with arthritis, and it requires a much smaller incision then traditional hip replacement. “My patients are able to move sooner without worrying about restrictions,” said Hogan.
