UPMC Expert: Embracing Emotional Health in Diabetes Care
Renee Hughes, BSN, RN, ADCES
Diabetes & Nutrition Care Center, UPMC
November is Diabetes Awareness Month. An estimated 10 percent of Americans are living with diabetes — that’s about 38.4 million people. Diabetes is classified in two ways – Type 1 and Type 2. Both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes cause similar symptoms and need lifelong management after diagnosis. But the two diseases have different causes.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the beta cells in the pancreas that make insulin. Insulin helps regulate blood sugar levels and without it, blood sugar levels remain elevated at high levels which can lead to complications like heart problems, kidney issues, vision loss, and even nerve damage.
On the other hand, Type 2 diabetes develops much later in life, usually in middle age. It is a condition caused by a breakdown in the metabolic pathways that regulate insulin and blood sugar levels. The body becomes resistant to insulin, making it harder for your cells to take up glucose and convert it to energy. Genetics plays a role in if you may develop Type 2 diabetes. It is more common in some families — especially those of Black and Hispanic ethnicities. But environmental factors like an unhealthy diet and lack of exercise also play a role in whether someone develops this disease.
The diagnosis of diabetes or prediabetes is an alert that can help you slow the condition’s progression with adjustments to diet and lifestyle. Whether you’re diagnosed with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, you’re in for a lifetime of management. But how you manage diabetes also depends on which type you have.
Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Prohibits Campfires on State Park, Forest Lands Amid Ongoing Dry Conditions
Dry conditions have elevated the risk of wildfires across the Commonwealth, and Pennsylvanians are encouraged to avoid outdoor burning on all lands
Harrisburg, PA – Today, the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) announced that it is prohibiting campfires on state park and forest lands until further notice, and encouraging Pennsylvanians to avoid burning on all lands amid extremely dry conditions across the Commonwealth.
While Pennsylvania saw heavy rain and flooding over the summer, recent dry conditions, paired with sunny days, unseasonably warm temperatures, and low humidity, have heightened wildfire risk. The 10-day forecast for most of Pennsylvania predicts little or no precipitation, exacerbating the already heightened situation.
Pennsylvania has experienced 100 reported wildfires in the past week, with many more unreported. Several volunteer firefighters were injured in blazes this weekend and these ongoing wildfires have strained state and local resources.
