World Diabetes Day Vryburg Campaig 2022

17/11/2022

Today, 17th November is 🤱🏾🤱🏿🤱🏽

Were you born Prematurely or have you given birth prematurely? What do we know about Prematurity?🤔🤔

👼Premature (also known as preterm) birth is when a baby is born too early, before 37 weeks of pregnancy have been completed. The earlier a baby is born, the higher the risk of death or serious disability.
Fortunately we also find the strongest and biggest fighters from our preterm babies..🤗💃

What are some of the risk factors for prematurity?

Its not entirely known as to why some babies are born too early but we do have risk factors that can increase chances for women to give birth prematurely.
However, a woman can still have a premature birth even if she has no known risk factors. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Some risk factors for preterm birth include:
👼delivering a premature baby in the past,
👼being pregnant with multiples,
👼 to***co use and substance abuse,
👼short time spacing (less than 18 months) between pregnancies.
👼Additionally, pregnancy complications can result in preterm birth because the baby has to be delivered early.

Most hospitals have Neonatal Wards that support preterm babies in every way possible with the best medical teams, including Dietitians.

Dietitians help in the nutritional support of these babies by calculating their daily nutritional and fluid needs and making sure the baby gets fed in the most appropriate way while also work towards building mommy's confidence while in hospital and for when they leave for home.🙂☺️☺️

Let's embrace and support everyone affected by prematurity. Some of the best people we know amongst us were born prematurely ❤🤗

Dietitians week 2022

08/06/2021

Its Dietitian's week💃💃💃💃💃💃
As of the 7th to the 11th June 2021, we're celebrating Dietitian's Week..

What is a dietitian?
A dietitian is a specialist who gives people advice on food, health and nutrition

What do dietitians do?
Dietitians study the science of food and nutrition and how this affects people’s health. They use what they know to prevent disease, treat medical conditions and improve sport performance. They do this by:

🍇working out someone’s food and fluid intake based on their eating habits

🍉investigating a patient’s nutritional needs

🍋creating a care plan with advice on how to follow it

🍎supporting patients who need extra support with their feeding

🍐working with GPs, consultants, and doctors on the best diet plans for a patient’s needs

🍑researching the effect of nutrition on health and disease

Dietitians also teach people about nutrition. They teach patients, clients, students and people working in healthcare, sports and food industries. There are lots of ways they do this:

🥕speaking to people one-to-one or presenting to groups

🥔writing for social media, blogs, websites, or newspapers and magazines

🧅recording vlogs, podcasts, radio or TV programmes

🥦doing research

🍆advising on specific diets, healthy school meals, recipes, menus and new products

Happy Dietitian's Week!💃😃

Today, 4th March 2021, we celebrate

WHAT IS OBESITY?
Overweight and obesity is abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may affect our health negatively.
The primary cause of obesity and overweight is an energy imbalance between calories consumed and calories burned.

World obesity day encourages practical solutions to help people achieve and maintain a healthy weight, undertake proper treatment, and reverse the obesity crisis.

The four main objectives of World Obesity Day 2021 are
🥦 Increasing awareness,
🍉encouraging advocacy,
🥕improving policies and
🍓sharing experiences.

WHO aims to make people aware of the fact that obesity is a disease while also changing the way the diseases are addressed in the society.
Obesity is a disease and must be treated as one. We all have a role to play in supporting and advocating for people living with obesity.
We must recognise that every body matters if we are to build a healthier world for everybody

Have a blissful one😉

We are celebrating as of the 8th to the 12th February 2021💃💃

WHAT IS A FEEDING TUBE?
A feeding tube is a medical device used to provide to people who cannot obtain nutrition by mouth, are unable to swallow safely, or need nutritional supplementation.

Tube feeding or enteral nutrition (EN) is nutrition administered via a tube or catheter directly to the:

🍇stomach e.g orogastric or nasogastric tube (via the mouth or nose) and gastrostomy tube (directly into the stomach/ PEG)
🍇small intestine (e.g. nasointestinal tube, jejunostomy tube (J-tube) in a patient who has
a functioning GI tract but is unable to meet his or her nutritional needs by oral ingestion.

WHAT IS OUR ROLE AS DIETITIANS?
A registered dietitian (RD)must perform the following tasks when administering EN, with assistance by the clinical nurse:
–🍓Verify placement of the patient’s feeding tube

–🍄Complete the preprocedural patient assessment, including determining total energy requirements, macro- and micronutrient needs, and free water requirements.

-🥕Confirm that treating clinician has ordered appropriate testing (e.g., serum glucose testing)

–🥦Place the patient in a semi-Fowler position (i.e. upper body elevated at 30–45°) during and for at least 1 hour following EN administration to reduce the risk for aspiration

–🍌Verify the accuracy and completeness of the order for EN (e.g., making sure the order includes the type of EN formula, method of administration, volume/rate of
administration, timing of formula delivery within a specified period of time (e.g., over 24 hours), frequency of delivery, and details about the flush to be administered)

–🍈Confirm that EN is administered as prescribed, using aseptic technique where appropriate

–🍉Complete ongoing patient assessments to monitor for the desired response to and for any complications of EN (e.g., observe for abdominal distention, firmness, and/or discomfort, serum glucose level, and daily weight)

–🍊Periodically measure gastric residual volume (GRV) to determine whether the feeding is tolerated

–🥑Administer medications via the enteral feeding tube, as ordered and according to facility protocol.

Hopefully the above is very informative and interesting to you all.😅 Rememeber this is only our part, other professions also play a very critical care in feeding tube administration.
Have a lovely day😉

Do you understand how Diabetes works? Are you or any of your loved ones struggling with Diabetes? What exactly is Diabetes? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

🍌Diabetes is a group of diseases characterised by high glucose levels resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action or both.

🍊Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreatic cells that are also responsible for the storage of body fuels.

🥑People with diabetes do not produce enough insulin and with insulin deficiency hyperglycaemia(high blood sugar levels) occurs.

🥭There are 3 types of Diabetes Mellitus; type 1, type 2 and Gestational Diabetes. Both type 1 and 2 show similar symptoms though type 2 can take about 10 years to show symptoms
Type 2 Diabetes is mostly associated with one's lifestyle and the relationship they have with food.

🥦Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy🤰🏾🤰🏾for some women and normally goes away after the pregnancy provided that it was well managed during that pregnancy. Unfortunately it can persist and become something one has to manage going forward if it was initially not well managed during the pregnancy.

If you'd like to learn more about how to manage or prevent diabetes and other lifestyle illnesses, don't hesitate to book your consultation 😉😀
