A nursing mother, Gloria Okore and her twins, a girl and a boy, have been detained at a private hospital in Lagos seven weeks after she gave birth to them, over her inability to settle her outstanding N35,000 hospital bill. Gloria gave birth on May 10th at the Bessylva Hospital and Maternity Home situated at 60, Surulere Street, Dopemu-Agege, Lagos State, to preterm (7 months old) set of triplets but one of the triplets, a girl, died, due to lack of incubator to nurture her. Speaking to Vanguard, 27-year-old Gloria said “I had the triplets through normal delivery, but the babies were born prematurely. We were charged N120,000. My husband hawks fairly-used clothes (okrika). It took him time to raise N85,000, which he paid in installments.

The following are seven diabetic complications and how to overcome them:
1. Effect on fat and metabolism (Diabetic ketoacidosis):

If you’re not managing your diabetic condition properly and you have fever, diarrhoea, vomiting and/or going through a lot of stress or are an alcoholic, you need to be extra careful about developing this condition called ‘ketoacidosis’.

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious condition that can lead to diabetic coma (passing out for a long time) or even death. When your cells don’t get the glucose they need for energy, your body begins to burn fat for energy, which produces ketones.

Ketones are chemicals that the body creates when it breaks down fat to use for energy. The body does this when it doesn’t have enough insulin to use glucose, the body’s normal source of energy. When ketones build up in the blood, they make it more acidic.

They are a warning sign that your diabetes is out of control or that you are getting sick. See solution here

High levels of ketones can poison the body. When levels get too high, you can develop DKA. DKA may happen to anyone with diabetes, though it is rare in people with type 2.
2. Effect on the eyes (Diabetic retinopathy):

The early symptom of eye problems related to diabetes is blurred vision and double vision. It can also cause a

severe, permanent loss of vision. Diabetes increases the risk of developing cataract and glaucoma.
3. Effect on kidneys (Diabetic nephropathy):

If you notice swelling in your feet and legs or around your eyes, your kidneys might be getting affected by uncontrolled blood sugar level.

If you have hypertension (or high BP), your chances of developing this is even higher. Read about how uncontrolled diabetes can cause kidney failure and stroke here
4. Effect on nerves (Diabetic neuropathy):

Diabetic gangrene (infection of the leg, leading to decay of flesh) can occur and the leg may have to be

amputated.

Uncontrolled diabetes can also affect nerves that control your heartbeat, blood pressure, digestion, blood flow to organs etc leading to diarrhoea, erectile dysfunction, loss of bladder control, vision changes, and dizziness......to read more please visit http://naijalatest.com.ng/2016/05/11/7-health-complications-of-diabetes/

Skin care: 5 tips for healthy skin


Don't have time for intensive skin care? You can still pamper yourself by acing the basics. Good skin care and healthy lifestyle choices can help delay the natural aging process and prevent various skin problems. Get started with these five no-nonsense tips.

1. Protect yourself from the sun



One of the most important ways to take care of your skin is to protect it from the sun. A lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, age spots and other skin problems — as well as increase the risk of skin cancer.

For the most complete sun protection:

Use sunscreen. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15. Apply sunscreen generously, and reapply every two hours — or more often if you're swimming or perspiring.
Seek shade. Avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when the sun's rays are strongest.
Wear protective clothing. Cover your skin with tightly woven long-sleeved shirts, long pants and wide-brimmed hats. Also consider laundry additives, which give clothing an additional layer of ultraviolet protection for a certain number of washings, or special sun-protective clothing — which is specifically designed to block ultraviolet rays.


2. Don't smoke


Smoking makes your skin look older and contributes to wrinkles. Smoking narrows the tiny blood vessels in the outermost layers of skin, which decreases blood flow. This depletes the skin of oxygen and nutrients that are important to skin health.

Smoking also damages collagen and elastin — the fibers that give your skin strength and elasticity. In addition, the repetitive facial expressions you make when smoking — such as pursing your lips when inhaling and squinting your eyes to keep out smoke — can contribute to wrinkles.

If you smoke, the best way to protect your skin is to quit. Ask your doctor for tips or treatments to help you stop smoking.
3. Treat your skin gently


Daily cleansing and shaving can take a toll on your skin. To keep it gentle:

Limit bath time. Hot water and long showers or baths remove oils from your skin. Limit your bath or shower time, and use warm — rather than hot — water.
Avoid strong soaps. Strong soaps and detergents can strip oil from your skin. Instead, choose mild cleansers.
Shave carefully. To protect and lubricate your skin, apply shaving cream, lotion or gel before shaving. For the closest shave, use a clean, sharp razor. Shave in the direction the hair grows, not against it.
Pat dry. After washing or bathing, gently pat or blot your skin dry with a towel so that some moisture remains on your skin.
Moisturize dry skin. If your skin is dry, use a moisturizer that fits your skin type. For daily use, consider a moisturizer that contains SPF...........to read more visit http://naijalatest.com.ng/2016/05/10/5-tips-for-a-healthy-skin
