7 red flags for thyroid cancer.

Thyroid cancer may not show any symptoms at all in the early stages, However, here are some early warning signs to be aware of.

1. A swelling or bump in the neck
A lump in the front or side of the neck is one of the most typical early indicators. However, not every bump is malignant; if swelling persists, a doctor should be consulted.

2. Hoarseness or voice changes: If you don't have a cold or any other respiratory ailment and your voice suddenly becomes weak or hoarse.

3. Difficulty swallowing
Another minor clue is experiencing difficulty when swallowing or feeling like something is stuck in your throat.

4. Pain in the throat or neck
Thyroid inflammation or growth may be the cause of persistent pain in the front of your neck that may radiate into your jaw or ears. Pain by itself does not indicate cancer.

5. Enlarged nodes of lymph
Swelling may result from thyroid-related changes to the neck's lymph nodes. Consult your doctor if you notice any new solid lumps beneath your jaw, especially if they are accompanied by other thyroid-related symptoms.

6. Issues with breathing
this happens if a thyroid tumor is large enough to press against the windpipe.

7. Family history
Those with a family history of thyroid disease or cancer.

Tips to prevent thyroid cancer:
1. Healthy lifestyle: Avoid using to***co and alcohol. A healthy balanced diet will be rich in iodine, selenium, and antioxidants.

2. Weight and hormones: Maintaining a healthy weight can prevent thyroid and other cancers.

3. Limit excess radiation exposure: Don't seek out repeated medical images that are not medically necessary.

4. Monitor autoimmune thyroid conditions: Chronic inflammation from Hashimoto’s thyroiditis can increase cancer risk. Regular testing and proper treatment are essential.

5. Do self-checks: Check for lumps, swelling and keep an eye on symmetry. The sooner you recognize any changes; the sooner you will seek medical treatment.

Not only brain, lungs, mental health and many other organ functions.... Cannabis use affects blood sugar and a study of 4 Million Adults Finds that "Cannabis use may come with an unexpected cost: a nearly fourfold rise in diabetes risk."
So while cannabis has medical uses, it’s not risk-free.

Take care of yourself and your health and always consult your doctor!

Although it's back to school and back to routine, keep in mind that Exercise is crucial for controlling your child's blood sugar.
Having Type1 Diabetes little heroes? Exercise is a key part of your child's overall health and lifestyle.
Every day, children between the ages of 6 and 17 should engage in moderate-to-intense physical exercise for 60 minutes.

Tips to help keep your child safe during exercise:

- At first, check your child's blood sugar before, during, and after exercise to see how it's affected by exercise.

- Teach your child on diabetes management and how to identify important signs.

- When your child's blood sugar falls below the desired level, have them have a snack before working out.

- Make sure your child's emergency glucagon kit and fast-acting glucose pills are close at hand. (An injection called glucagon rapidly increases blood sugar levels).

- If your child's blood sugar is 250 mg/dL or above, test for ketones. If ketone levels are high, don't let your child exercise.

For a safe treatment and follow up, always consult your child's doctor !
