What a dilemma! To stay or to go? In this episode, I talked to a lovely mother who is debating whether she should move to live near her family who she knows can and will support her and her newly diagnosed daughter. The sticking point is that she also loves her job, feeling like she won the “career lottery” – and she isn't sure she wants to give that up. Since her daughter is still in the first year after diagnosis, she came onto the podcast to better understand what will change with her relationship with diabetes. Will it get easier? And in what ways? Ultimately, she wants to know if diabetes will ever feel easy enough that she doesn't need to make the move. But she also names how much she wants people to lean on who care about her daughter enough to learn about managing diabetes. Along the way in this rich conversation, we explore the loneliness she feels and her understandable need to have people in her life who can support her more with the day-to-day of diabetes.Listen to hear more about:The ways that things change with diabetes after the first yearThe loneliness and sense of isolation when living with diabetesThe challenges of building a diabetes communityHow people turn inward after diagnosis and how to shift that over time to build connectionThe profound sense of relief you can have when a connection does happen around T1DMentioned in this episode:Need help getting your kid the right snacks?That's why I've created the Sweet Talk Snack Course.

Diabetes is one of the most important public health issues of our time. Currently, more than 530 million people around the world are living with diabetes, and many more are at risk. Unfortunately, the disease's impact often goes unrecognized. We have an opportunity to change this by raising awareness about the following needs and concerns:The needs of people with diabetesThe rapidly increasing number of all types of diabetes diagnosesThe serious health risks associated with the diseaseThe value of healthy lifestyle habitsThe importance of getting tested and beginning treatment_____________________Connect With MeTo submit a question or join my mailing list, use the information below to connect with me.Join My Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/beatingdiabeteslifestyle Web - www.beatingdiabeteslifestyle.comEmail - hello@beatingdiabeteslifestyle.comInstagram - @beatingdiabeteslifestyleHiHo - https://hiho.link/g/beatingdiabeteslife_____________________©2022 Oscar Camejo - The Beating Diabetes Lifestyle

We protect your nervous and skeletal systems.  We provide storage space for carbs and increase your metabolic rate so you won't get as fat.  We are a great indication of your bone density since the same activities that build us build your bones. Those activities are also like all-natural hormone therapy. We help you move, give you strength, so you don't fall as easily, and when you do fall or get in an accident, we tense up, protecting the tissues beneath us. Oh, and we make you look healthier too. Unfortunately, most of the medical community talks little about us. They've forgotten how essential we are for your health. Maybe they never really knew. Sadly, many "fitness professionals" don't even make us a priority in their programming. We are muscles. Make us bigger and stronger as long as you can. When you reach old age, hold onto us as long as possible. If you do, you'll look and feel younger than most people half your age, and according to the research, you'll live longer as well. This systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies found that muscle-strengthening activities were inversely associated with the risk of CVD, total cancer, diabetes, lung cancer and all-cause mortality independent of aerobic activities among adults aged ≥18 years without severe health conditions.Muscle-strengthening activities are associated with lower risk and mortality in major non-communicable diseases: a systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies The Health Benefits of Muscle Mass I've written about the health benefits of muscle mass for years. As I've reached middle age and seen so many men and women my age getting weaker, gaining body fat, and becoming more sedentary, I've become more and more outspoken about building muscle. My recent bike accident only reinforced my drive to push men and women to build muscle. Here's why I believe building muscle is the most important thing you can do for your longevity, health, and quality of life. Building muscle... Adds to your quality of life savings account At some point, you'll likely face a significant injury, illness, other trauma, or age-related muscle loss. At that point, your body will use up a significant portion of your available muscle mass. The more you have when this process begins, the more you'll be able to lose before really bad things start happening. The stressed state, such as that associated with sepsis, advanced cancer, and traumatic injury, imposes greater demands for amino acids from muscle protein breakdown than does fasting.The underappreciated role of muscle in health and disease Stores carbs, keeping blood sugar levels in check The more muscle you have, the more carbs you can eat without dealing with insulin resistance, diabetes, or metabolic syndrome. Muscle-building exercise not only increases the storage space you have for carbs in your diet, it also makes your muscles more sensitive to insulin. You end up secreting less insulin to shuttle carbs, or glucose, into your muscle cells. If you produce less insulin, you can rely on fat more for energy. If you burn more fat during the day, you'll tap into the fat on your arms, legs, and belly. alterations in the metabolic function of muscle are central to the development of insulin resistance and ultimately diabetesThe underappreciated role of muscle in health and disease Protects your joints Muscles move bones around your joints. When they get weak, or you lose muscle mass, you make your joints more vulnerable to injury and the effects of degeneration. I'm all about using nutrition and supplements to support your joint health (for example, I use AgilEase from Young Living regularly), but I'd never expect a supplement to solve all my joint aches and pains without building muscle size and strength around that joint. I believe wholeheartedly that the muscle mass I developed around my neck kept me from experiencing an injury and outcome m...

048-Charles Mattocks: Reversing Type 2 DiabetesThe message that metabolic disease can be treated and even reversed with lifestyle must extend beyond scientific meetings and reach the individuals who can directly benefit. Today's guest is using the reality TV show format to show that the archetypical metabolic disease, type 2 diabetes, can be reversed with lifestyle. The series ReverseD is the brain child of Charles Mattocks, an award winning film producer, as well as, an international diabetes advocate. Charles has made appearances on major talks shows around the country from CNN to Dr. Oz. He was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2011 at the age of 38. He started a global mission for not only his life, but also for the millions struggling with diabetes.https://yurhealthnetwork.com/ https://yurhealthnetwork.com/watch-video/?video_id=11535&title=%5C%27REVERSED%5C%27%20Season2%20Episode%201 https://www.bellaandellemedia.com/https://www.charlesmattocks.com/  #longevity #wellness  #Ketones #lifestylemedicine #younger #ketosis #biohacking #acetone #RobertLufkinMD #rapamycin #metabolic #metabolism #REVERSED #charlesmattocks ***Rapamycin Longevity Registry***https://www.rapamycin.io/*** CONNECT WITH ROBERT LUFKIN MD ON SOCIAL MEDIA ***Web: https://robertlufkinmd.com/ Twitter:https://twitter.com/robertlufkinmdYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/RobertLufkinMD*** MEMBERSHIP ***https://robert-lufkin.mykajabi.com/membership *** SPONSORSHIPS & BRANDS ***We do work with sponsors and brands.

Episode 22 Salty and Sweet: Hypertension and DiabetesThe sun rises over the San Joaquin Valley, California, today is August 7, 2020.Have you heard any news about COVID-19? You surely have, who hasn’t? But above all the negativity surrounding this disease, including political issues, there is hope for the future. Have you heard of, for example, mRNA 1273?(1) Could this be the vaccine we have been waiting for? We don’t know yet, but there are more than 21 vaccines being tested right now around the world. If an effective vaccine is found, you’ll certainly hear about it in this podcast.Welcome to Rio Bravo qWeek, the podcast of the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program, recorded weekly from Bakersfield, California, the land where growing is happening everywhere.The Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program trains residents and students to prevent illnesses and bring health and hope to our community. Our mission: To Seek, Teach and Serve. Sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Providing compassionate and affordable care to patients throughout Kern and Fresno counties since 1971. “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”― Viktor E. Frankl Part I: Primary Aldosteronism with Roberto Velazquez Amador, MD, Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program Who are you?I am Dr Velazquez Amador, I am originally from Jalisco, Mexico where I was born and race. I completed my medical studies at the Universidad of Guadalajara, and now I on the third year of FM residency.What did you learn this week?I learned about a patient whom had an incomplete work up for adrenal insufficiency but still treated. He ended up showing signs of Cushing’s syndrome and resistant hypertension. I want to talk about secondary hypertension and Primary Aldosteronism.Why that knowledge important for you and your patients?It is important because it reminds me that secondary causes of hypertension are often under diagnosed. How did you get that knowledge?Reading upon new cases, specially from the inpatient population, it often leads me to find new differentials and new testing modalities.  Where did that knowledge come from?First line review data place for me is Uptodate now that I am in residency. But the initial knowledge came while on Medical school. Reading physiology and physiopathology books. The book that I like to consult a lot is Kelly’s Essentials for Internal Medicine, this book chapters encompass anatomy, physiology and the pathology aspect beside diagnoses and treatment. It is very complete. While in residency, also my reference is the AAFM articles.  DisorderSuggestive clinical featuresGeneralSevere or resistant hypertension An acute rise in blood pressure over a previously stable value Proven age of onset before puberty Age less than 30 years with no family history of hypertension and no obesity Renovascular diseaseUnexplained creatinine elevation and/or acute and persistent elevation in serum creatinine of at least 50% after administration of ACE inhibitor, ARB, or renin inhibitor Moderate to severe hypertension in a patient with diffuse atherosclerosis, a unilateral small kidney, or asymmetry in kidney size of more than 1.5 cm that cannot be explained by another reason Moderate to severe hypertension in patients with recurrent episodes of flash pulmonary edema Onset of hypertension with blood pressure >160/100 mmHg after age 55 years Systolic or diastolic abdominal bruit (not very sensitive) Primary kidney diseaseElevated serum creatinine concentration Abnormal urinalysis Drug-induced hypertension:  Oral contraceptives Anabolic steroids NSAIDs Chemotherapeutic agents (eg, tyrosine kinase inhibitors/VEGF blockade) Stimulants (eg, cocaine, methylphenidate) Calcineurin inhibitors (eg, cyclosporine) Antidepressants (eg, venlafaxine) New elevation or progression in blood pressure temporally related to exposure PheochromocytomaParoxysmal elevations in blood pressure Triad of headache (usually pounding), palpitations, and sweating Primary aldosteronismUnexplained hypokalemia with urinary potassium wasting; however, more than one-half of patients are normokalemic Cushing's syndromeCushingoid facies, central obesity, proximal muscle weakness, and ecchymoses May have a history of glucocorticoid use Sleep apnea syndromeCommon in patients with resistant hypertension, particularly if overweight or obese Loud snoring or witnessed apneic episodes Daytime somnolence, fatigue, and morning confusion Coarctation of the aortaHypertension in the arms with diminished or delayed femoral pulses and low or unobtainable blood pressures in the legs Left brachial pulse is diminished and equal to the femoral pulse if origin of the left subclavian artery is distal to the coarct HypothyroidismSymptoms of hypothyroidism Elevated serum thyroid stimulating hormone Primary hyperparathyroidismElevated serum calcium  Primary AldosteronismThe evaluation of a patient with hypertension depends upon the likely cause and the degree of difficulty in achieving acceptable blood pressure control since many forms of secondary hypertension lead to "treatment-resistant" hypertension. Because it is not cost effective to perform a complete evaluation for secondary hypertension in every hypertensive patient, it is important to be aware of the clinical clues that suggest secondary hypertension. There are a number of general clinical clues that, in isolation or in combination, are suggestive of secondary hypertension. Primary aldosteronism is  a hormonal disorder that leads to high blood pressure. It occurs when your adrenal glands produce too much of a hormone called aldosterone. The classic presenting signs of primary aldosteronism are hypertension and hypokalemia, but potassium levels are frequently normal in modern-day series of primary aldosteronism. The presence of primary mineralocorticoid excess should be suspected in any patient with the triad of hypertension, unexplained hypokalemia, and metabolic alkalosis. However, most patients with primary mineralocorticoid excess are normokalemic and, rarely, some are hypokalemic but normotensive (primarily in young adult females).The most common subtypes of primary aldosteronism are:Aldosterone-producing adenomas (APA)Bilateral idiopathic hyperaldosteronism (IHA; bilateral adrenal hyperplasia)The presence of primary mineralocorticoid excess should be suspected in any patient with the triad of hypertension, unexplained hypokalemia, and metabolic alkalosis. In patients diagnosed with primary aldosteronism, treatment of the mineralocorticoid excess results in reversal or improvement of the hypertension and resolution of the increased cardiovascular risk.Who should be tested?Test for primary aldosteronism in the following patients: ●Hypertension and spontaneous or low-dose, diuretic-induced hypokalemiaThe following patients should undergo testing even if they are normokalemic:●Severe hypertension (>150 mmHg systolic or >100 mmHg diastolic) or drug-resistant hypertension (defined as suboptimally controlled hypertension on a three-drug program that includes an adrenergic inhibitor, vasodilator, and diuretic)●Hypertension with adrenal incidentaloma●Hypertension with sleep apnea●Hypertension and a family history of early-onset hypertension or cerebrovascular accident at a young age (15 ng/dL (416 pmol/L), but may be as low as 10 ng/dL (277 pmol/L).Some clinicians calculate a PAC/PRA ratio as part of the case detection strategy, but we prefer to use the paired random PAC and PRA (or PRC). The mean value for the PAC/PRA ratio in normal subjects and patients with primary hypertension (formerly called "essential" hypertension) is 4 to 10, compared with more than 30 to 50 in most patients with primary aldosteronism In general, a PAC/PRA ratio greater than 20 (depending upon the laboratory normals) is considered suspicious for primary aldosteronism, although others use a cutoff criterion of 30.              Part II: Continuous Glucose Monitoring with Denise Le DeWhitt, MS3, Ross University School of Medicine  What is a CGM?A continuous glucose monitor is a special type of device that allows for continuous measurement of glucose levels from the interstitial fluid rather than the blood. Depending upon the device, glucose levels are measured every 5-15 minutes. CGM allows for a measurement of a trend in a patient’s glucose levels as compared to a measurement of a glucose level at a single point in time, commonly known as traditional finger prick testing. How is it used?A CGM works by placing a small sensor under the patient’s skin, commonly located on the abdomen or under the arm. The glucose readings are sent to a monitor via a transmitter. Depending upon which CGM brand is used, the monitor maybe attached to an insulin pump, which can be easily placed in a patient’s pocket or purse for convenience. Alternatively, some CGM devices may even send the glucose readings directly to a smartphone, or other smart device, if the patient has the app. Why should we prescribe CGM instead of traditional glucometer?Allows patients to take active control of their Diabetes.It gives patients a better idea on how their sugar levels can fluctuate in a day (visually can see hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic level trends).Decreased incidence of having hypoglycemic emergencies.Some devices come with an alarm that can alert the patient when their glucose levels are too high or too low.Reduced finger stick pricks. Most popular brand names, or just focus on Free Style Libre (cheapest)Free Style Libre (APPROVED by Medicare lowest cost and widest inaccuracy in low glucose range)It is a CGM system that automatically measures the blood glucose levels of the person wearing it.Apply the sensor with the provided applicator, and a glucose sensing filament is inserted just below the skin.  The sensor measures glucose in the interstitial fluid.By waving the digital reader above the sensor, it records the amount of glucose in the wearer’s system at the moment and stores the data in the digital reader.It allows for immediate access to glucose levels and to trend hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. It allows for ease of checking glucose in public discreetly. The system makes it easy for health care providers to have access to the stored glucose logs by connecting the reader to a computer.Dexcom G6: (Medicare approved, costly sensors and transmitters)Senseonics Eversense CGM (NOT approved by Medicare)Medtronic Guardian 3: Impacted by Acetaminophen use, provides real time alerts for highs and lows Medi-Cal and Medicare Coverage Medicare covers therapeutic continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and related supplies instead of blood sugar monitors for making diabetes treatment decisions, like changes in diet and insulin dosage. For these individuals, coverage of diabetes drugs and technology dramatically increases their chances of living a life free of complications. Despite this, however, continuous glucose monitors (CGM) are not covered by Medi-Cal. CGMs are covered under California Children’s Services (CCS), a state program for children with certain diseases or health problems, this is limited only to children with multiple co-morbidities and children who are disabled.Not currently covered under Medi-cal insurance. How to set up for patient and for our officeFalls under the category of Durable Medical Equipment covered under MedicareIn order to be eligible these are the conditions that must be met:Physician must prescribe the equipment for home use, and it must be medically necessary.Physician prescribing the monitoring system, as well as the supplier, must be enrolled in Medicare and accept Medicare assignment.Medicare recipient must have diabetes and must be using a blood glucose monitor to test levels 4 or more times daily. They must also be taking 3 or more daily insulin injections.With Medicare Part B, Medicare covers 80 percent of the approved amount. Medicare recipients are responsible for paying 20 percent of the final, approved cost, and the Part B deductible will apply.   ______________________________Speaking Medical: Xanthochromiaby Isabelo Bustamante, MS3Have you seen the word xanthochromia in a Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) study result? Xanthochromia has a Greek origin combining “yellow” (xantho) and “color” (chromia). Xanthochromia basically meansyellowish-colored CSF that can be seen with the naked eye. CSF is normally crystal clear. Xanthochromia can be found after several hours of bleeding into the subarachnoid space. This is because of the degradation of red blood cells after Subarachnoid Hemorrhage or SAH. Now you know the medical word of the week, xathochromia. Have a nice week.    ____________________________Espanish Por Favor: Azúcarby Dr Claudia CarranzaHi this is Dr Carranza on our section Espanish Por Favor. This week’s word is azúcar.  The word azúcar  was made popular by the famous Cuban singer Celia Cruz; she used it as an expression of happiness and joy “AZÚCAR!” Azúcar is a sweet crystalline substance derived from many plants such as sugar cane and sugar beet. You guessed it! Azúcar means sugar in Spanish. Azúcar is a substance that is part of us as humans and it literally runs through our veins.  Azúcar comes from the Hispanic Arabic assúkkar. Azúcar is a vital word to use when talking to patients with diabetes and obesity. Most people will understand blood glucose if you say just azúcar, but if you see a weird look in your patient you may be more specific with the phrase azúcar en la sangre.  Azúcar alta means high sugar (hyperglycemia), and azúcar baja means low sugar (hypoglycemia).  Now you know the Espanish word of the week, “AZÚCAR”, I hope you have a sweet day full of joy and happiness! Until next time! ____________________________Now we conclude our episode number 22 “Salty and Sweet: Hypertension and Diabetes”. We covered the basics on Primary Aldosteronism with Dr Velazquez, the salty part: sodium and potassium; and Continuous Glucose Monitoring with Denise, the sweet part: sugar. Isabello explained xanthochromia, which is yellowish cerebrospinal fluid, and, to put the cherry on this salty and sweet cake, Dr Carranza taught that sugar in Spanish is azúcar.This is the end of Rio Bravo qWeek. We say good bye from Bakersfield, a special place in the beautiful Central Valley of California, United States, a land where growing is happening everywhere.If you have any feedback about this podcast, contact us by email RBresidency@clinicasierravista.org, or visit our website riobravofmrp.org/qweek.
