What are prediabetes and how do we recognize them?

Dr. Kovalkov, a Russian nutritionist, revealed the symptoms that indicate prediabetes and the symptoms that warn of the risk of its development.

Prediabetes, Kovalkov says, is a borderline condition in which the blood sugar level is above normal, but not high enough to diagnose diabetes.

And he adds, the results of the comprehensive epidemiological study indicate that 20 million people in Russia suffer from this condition.

The expert notes on his page in the "Instagram" network for social networking, that "half of the pre-diabetes cases can develop within five years to diabetes."

What are the causes and what are the risk factors?

According to the doctor, the first reason is that the pancreas does not produce enough insulin. The second reason is insulin resistance. The sensitivity of the cells is insufficient to insulin, meaning that the tissues cannot absorb glucose normally, so the cells always remain "hungry", forcing the person to eat more and more food rich in carbohydrates.

Kovalkov is attributed to risk factors:

- Overweight, BMI of 30 and over, and waist circumference over 94 cm. For men and over 80 cm for women.

Age over 45 years old.

- Hypertension.

Genetic predisposition.

High levels of sugar, triglycerides and cholesterol.

Gestational diabetes, high blood sugar level during pregnancy.

PCOS in women and erectile dysfunction in men.

The risk is that the disease can develop within years without any symptoms. Statistics from the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention indicate that 84% of people do not feel that they have prediabetes.

However, there are alarming signs to consider:

Constant hunger even after eating a heavy meal.

Feeling thirsty and dry mouth.

Frequent urination, including at night.

Blurred vision.

Dry skin, especially in the elbows.

Dark spots appear in areas of skin-to-clothing contact (neck, underarms, mammary glands, etc.)

Constant weakness, fatigue, and headache.

Weight loss with increased appetite

Tingling and numbness of the hands and feet.

Bad sleep.

According to the expert, prediabetes can be treated and eliminated with lifestyle changes. He recommends switching to a balanced diet, increasing physical activity, and always monitoring your blood sugar level. 25 n

Scientists reveal the most dangerous blood type

18:20 - 07/10/2020

 

  

Information / follow-up.

Japanese scientists announced, after conducting a number of scientific studies, that people with blood type "O" are three times more likely to die from severe trauma.

According to scientists, people who have blood type "O" are at risk of losing blood faster than others because of their weak clotting ability.

The scientists added that this is due to the low level of "von Willebrand factor" (which is a chain of multiple glycoproteins, which is relatively large in relation to other blood clotting factors, and von Willebrand factor is synthesized in platelets and endothelial tissues that make up blood vessels, unlike Other clotting factors that are made by the liver), in people with blood type "O".

The doctors indicated that this type is considered "general ate" (meaning that people who carry it can donate blood to any other blood group), according to the "rosbalt" website.

US officials warn of the use of two rapid tests for Corona

 

Free / Subtitles - Washington

09 October 2020

 

 

The rapid test was based on "limited data" to begin with.

Nevada health officials have ordered nursing homes to stop using two rapid tests to detect infection with the emerging corona virus, due to the inaccuracy of the results they show.

Some authorities resort to this type of examination, as it is cheaper and faster than traditional laboratory tests.

The rapid inspection processes samples within a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes.

According to the newspaper " Daily Mail ", nearly two-thirds of tests using the rapid device were false positive.

Care homes have to use test kits for a longer period of time, so that the machine can "better evaluate the accuracy of the tests."

The new guidelines included care homes performing other tests as much as possible to check whether their subjects had been infected or not.

And the health authorities indicated, in a statement, that the negative results that the examination may show may also be false, and they must be verified.

She said that the approval of the two tests at the beginning of the Corona crisis was based on data, one of them, which is "Quidel Sofia", has a sensitivity of 87 percent, and the other is a "BD Veritor", has a sensitivity of 97 percent.

The statement stressed that the aforementioned accuracy ratios were based on "very limited data", which caused the adoption of an inaccurate test.

The researcher, Irene Petersen, participating in the study, said that some of the infected people had symptoms during the period before or after the tests.

And she stressed the need for frequent and widespread tests for all individuals necessary to reduce the "silent transmission" of the virus, according to what was reported by "Euro News".

An expert warns of the dangers of eating garlic

Gastroenterologist Nikita Kharlov said that eating raw garlic is more dangerous for people who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome, due to its negative effect on the mucous membrane of the digestive system .

In an interview with Radio Sputnik, the doctor warned that “using the product could cause a dangerous and violent reaction, and even irritable bowel syndrome (an imbalance in colon function that leads to digestive symptoms such as flatulence, poor digestion and excretion. These symptoms are not dangerous in and of themselves, and do not lead to serious disease in the future, but they are very annoying to the patient ) ”.

According to him, due to garlic's ability to irritate the mucous membrane, it should not be used in the treatment of cold and runny nose, indicating that many people resort to such treatment .

He added that the negative effect on the mucous membrane has a bad effect on the antibodies on it, which leads to opening the way for viruses and bacteria .

The specialist advised eating garlic as part of ready meals, rubbing food with it and using it in a dried form, and before using it in food, it should be left for some time after peeling it .

He explained, "Because its interaction with the air increases the substances beneficial to health."
