BAN HQ Medical Committee presents Diabetic Awareness - World Diabetes Day 2024. World Diabetes Day is observed every year on November 14th, marking an important opportunity to raise awareness about diabetes and advocate for better prevention, diagnosis, and management of the disease. The day became an official United Nations (UN) day in 2006. This year’s theme, "Access to Diabetes Education," underscores the need for better information and resources to help prevent and manage diabetes effectively. The Medical Team of Brothers across Nigeria (BAN) worldwide is proud to recognize World Diabetes Day by supporting the established framework for diabetes education, which includes: 1. Learning and Knowledge Sharing. 2. Prevention. 3. Identification and Treatment. UNDERSTANDING DIABETES Diabetes is a disease that results from excess sugar in the blood, causing serious health problems over time. The Types of Diabetes: 1. Type 2 Diabetes: The most common form, accounting for about 90% of cases. It occurs when the body doesn’t use insulin effectively or doesn’t produce enough. 2. Type 1 Diabetes: An autoimmune condition, usually diagnosed in childhood, where the body cannot produce insulin. 3. Gestational Diabetes: Occurs during pregnancy and usually goes away after childbirth, but it increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life. 4. Prediabetes: A condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be considered type 2 diabetes. 1 in 3 adults has prediabetes, highlighting the need for early intervention and lifestyle changes. SYMPTOMS OF DIABETES The symptoms of diabetes vary, and some people (especially those with prediabetes, gestational diabetes, or type 2 diabetes) may not experience symptoms at all. In type 1 diabetes, symptoms usually appear quickly and are more severe. Common symptoms include: I. Increased thirst or urination II.Fatigue III. Blurry vision IV. Slow-healing sores or infections RISK FACTORS A variety of factors contribute to the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, including: Age and genetics, Lifestyle factors:, poor diet, lack of physical activity, and smoking increase the likelihood of developing diabetes. Social factors: Access to healthy food, healthcare, and safe spaces for exercise also play a significant role in managing and preventing diabetes. Race and Ethnicity: People from certain racial or ethnic backgrounds, including Black, Hispanic, American Indian, and Asian American populations, are at higher risk for type 2 diabetes. Discrimination and stigma: These factors can exacerbate the challenges faced by marginalized communities in managing diabetes. COMPLICATIONS When diabetes is not properly controlled, it can cause serious and even life-threatening complications, including Heart disease and strokes, Nerve damage (neuropathy), Kidney damage, Eye problems, Foot issues, Skin and mouth infections, Hearing loss, Memory issues, Depression and Anxiety. PREVENTION Preventing or delaying type 2 diabetes is possible through early lifestyle changes. The following strategies can help reduce the risk of developing diabetes: 1. Eat a Healthy Diet 2. Get Active 3. Maintain a Healthy Weight 4. Quit Smoking 5. Limit Alcohol Intake 6. Get Regular Checkups 7. Manage Stress 8. Sleep Well CONCLUSION World Diabetes Day is an important reminder of the growing global impact of diabetes and the urgent need for education, awareness, and action. This year’s theme highlights the critical need for better information and resources to prevent and manage the disease. By focusing on education, early detection, and lifestyle changes, we can work together to reduce the burden of diabetes and create a healthier future for all. #BANWorldwide, #BrothersAcrossNigeria #WorldDiabetesDay, #WDD2024, #DiabetesAwareness, #KnowYourNumbers, #DiabetesPrevention, #14November, #AccesstoDiabetesCare

We may think we’ve left the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic behind, but SARS-CoV-2 hasn’t left us. 🦠 At today’s DeSci conference, LCL founder Rohan Dixit explained how the number of people who need antiviral treatments to remove the SARS-CoV-2 virus from their bodies may be MUCH higher than originally thought. Persistent viral infection is emerging as the leading cause of Long Covid, affecting up to 100M people across the world. Yet a recent study from Brigham and Women's Hospital showed the number of people who need these treatments may in fact be much higher. This paper from Swank et al. just came out in the Dec. 2024 edition of Clinical Microbiology and Infection. It showed that the same biomarkers pointing to chronic infection in Long Covid patients were also found in up to 20% of people who felt recovered from their acute Covid infection. This means the virus itself may still be present. We now know this virus can get into the brain, and all of the major organs of the body. 🧠 The frightening reality is that the number of people who need treatments to remove virus could be up to 20% of everyone who’s had Covid. 😱 That’s because even if the virus isn’t necessarily causing symptoms that people notice right now, that doesn’t mean its presence is harmless. As research progresses, we’re learning more and more about how certain viruses can persist in the body and cause long-term health consequences. For example, a potential casual link appears to be developing between EBV infection and multiple sclerosis. Persistent viral infection may also be the root cause of diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and ME/CFS. 🦠 What’s more, persistent viral infection can cause immune dysfunction that even leads to cancer over time. 💔 Lets face it: the reality of Covid-19 is very different from what we were told. Up to 20% of us who don't have Long Covid may still be carrying the virus around with us, even if we don’t feel sick. Let’s not play Russian roulette with our health. Lets do the smart thing and use actual science to solve this problem, today. ❤️‍🩹 (For references, see next tweet!).
