Your Game Plan to Tackle Diabetes!

Diabetes is a condition that affects your blood sugar levels which may be higher than normal. Sugar is the primary fuel for your cells, and insulin (produced in the pancreas) is the hormone that allows cells to use sugar as energy. Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), known as insulin-dependent DM, is a condition that occurs because the pancreas will no longer make insulin. In T1DM, taking insulin treatment is necessary to replace what your body can no longer produce. In Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), your pancreas is still able to make some insulin, but your body is resistant to the insulin and cannot regulate blood sugar normally.

The good news is that there are many ways to increase your body's ability to regulate blood sugar in T2DM, and these include the following:

Dietary changes are your DM game plan's first and most critical components. It is important to reduce your portions of carbohydrates, which turn into sugar. Did you know that when you eat your carbohydrates during your meal is also essential? Studies show that eating the carbohydrate portion of your meal after eating the protein/fat components will cause fewer blood sugar spikes than eating the carbohydrates first.

Lifestyle changes to reduce idle time and increase movement are also very effective for lowering blood sugar. Try to get at least 30 minutes of physical activity five days a week. Physical activity is not limited to exercise at the gym. There are many forms of exercise, such as household chores, yard work, gardening, and even committing to parking at a distance to increase the amount of walking to your destination.

Weight loss! Did you know that some patients can achieve remission of their Diabetes with weight loss? Besides diet and lifestyle changes, there are several classes of diabetic medications that not only help regulate your blood sugar but can also help you lose up to 20% of your weight. These are potential game changers for many people.

Dr. Patricia Park, an Endocrinologist, treats patients with various endocrinology conditions and strongly believes in shared decision-making with her patients. She is particularly interested in incorporating lifestyle medicine to manage metabolic disorders, including Diabetes and Obesity. She sees patients in Murrieta. Schedule an appointment with United Endocrinology Dr. Park to explore treatment options.

Did you know that Botox® can be used for more than treating wrinkles?

Botox® is an FDA-approved treatment for adults who suffer from chronic migraines. Botox® for migraines has been proven to decrease the severity and frequency of migraines, allowing you to enjoy more migraine-free days and even decrease oral medication use. Clinical trials have shown that Botox® treatment prevents up to 8-9 headache days per month and as migraine sufferers know, every day counts.

Botox® works by blocking chemicals (neurotransmitters) that send pain signals to your brain. The procedure itself consists of injecting Botox® into specific areas of the forehead, head, neck and back of the shoulders using a very small needle. The injection takes about 10 minutes and should be repeated every three months (4 times per year) once the Botox® wears off. A trained, licensed medical physician should do this procedure. Many insurances will cover this treatment since it is FDA-approved.

Don’t let migraines keep you from enjoying your activities! Call our office to see if you are a candidate for Botox® for migraines.

Dr. Ashley Wong is a board-certified Pain Management Physician who treats migraines and specializes in painful spinal and joint conditions. She sees patients in Temecula, Los Alamitos, and Newport Beach. Schedule an appointment with UMD Pain Management Dr. Ashley Wong today to explore treatment options.

Healthy Feet for Your Activities

Dr. Anna Meneely, our Podiatrist offers expert advice on maintaining healthy feet and proper foot care during your activities.

As summertime has arrived, people are increasing their level of activity. Wearing supportive shoes is essential to prevent injuries, such as stress fractures. Supportive tennis shoes such as Brooks, Hoka, and New Balance provide excellent support. Also, having a cast created for custom insert helps prevent injuries to the feet and slows the progression of foot deformities such as bunions and hammertoes. Custom inserts also help to avoid collapse arches, which is the leading cause of a common complaint "my feet feel tired at the end of the day."

We all enjoy getting a fresh pedicure during the summer months. Unfortunately, toenail fungus can be a risk when going to the nail salon. Luckily there are many prescription medications available to treat toenail fungus.

As the temperature increases, you may notice your feet sweat more. It is important to take time to air dry your shoes and even have an extra pair of socks to prevent athlete's foot. The fungus can live anywhere and thrives in moist, warm, damp environments. It would be helpful to sprinkle some anti fungal powder directly on your feet to absorb sweat and keep your feet dry.

If you are experiencing new foot issues this summer or want to explore treatment options, schedule an appointment with UMD Podiatry Dr. Anna Meneely. She is an expert on conditions related to the foot and will be happy to prepare your feet for the summer months and beyond.

Dr. Anna Meneely is a Foot & Ankle Surgeon/ Podiatrist at UMD and she sees patients in our Murrieta, Temecula, Corona & Orange County offices
