💚𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆💚

But what 𝘪𝘴 diabetes, and how can you spot it?

💉Diabetes, in simple terms, if the body's inability to create enough, or the right 'shape' of insulin. Insulin is critical to the body's ability to turn your carbohydrates into usable energy - without it, blood sugar (glucose) levels rise but the body is unable to use to for fuel.

💉Type 1 is generally early onset (from a young age) and is caused by a fault with the pancreas' ability to produce insulin (or the right shape)
💉Type 2 is often termed 'self-inflicted', where unhealthy eating and lifestyle effectively wear the pancreas out so it can no longer produce adequate insulin

𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲 𝟭 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝘆𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺𝘀 - 𝘁𝗵𝗲 '𝟰𝗧𝘀'
1) TIRED - the body can't use the sugar, so they have little energy
2) THIRSTY - the body craves liquid to dilute the sugar in the bloodstream
3) TOILET - it then needs to get rid of the excess fluid - plus flush out some of the sugar
4) THIN - as the body can't process the glucose and use the energy, it constantly pulls stored energy (glucose) from the body's fat cells, so causing them to lose weight

If you or your child has any of these symptoms, please make an appointment with your GP.

𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲 𝟮 𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗲𝘀 often develops slowly, and some people may not realise they have it for years. However, there are some common signs to look out for:

🚽 Needing to urinate more often than usual, especially at night
🥤 Feeling very thirsty / unable to quench your thirst
😴 Feeling very tired or lacking energy
👀 Blurred vision
💨 Cuts or wounds that take longer to heal
🍞 Frequent infections, such as thrush or skin infections
⚖️ Unexplained weight loss (though this is more common in Type 1)
🤔 Tingling or numbness in hands or feet

If you notice several of these symptoms - especially if they develop gradually - it’s important to speak to your GP. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent serious complications.

💙Diabetes is covered on our two and three day courses - get in touch for more details of how we can help!

💛 Random Acts of Kindness – Small Gestures, Big Impact 💛
On World Kindness Day, what could you do to bring a smile to someone else's face?

Kindness doesn’t have to be grand or expensive - sometimes it’s the little things that make someone’s day. A simple act can lift a mood, spark a smile, or remind someone that people do care (and in my experience seems to have an even stronger effect on the giver than the receiver!)

One small act can start a ripple effect - imagine the difference if we all did just one kind thing today! 💫

I recall buying 3 bunches of daffodils in Tesco early into the COVID lockdown, and the looks on the faces of the lady on the checkout (bunch 1) and the two random people in the car park (bunches 2 & 3) - probably much clearer than any of them remember being given the flowers! 🌼

👉 What’s the kindest thing someone has done for you recently? Or what act of kindness will you do today?

'𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆' - the first one in the UK. But why are Mental Health First Aiders so important to businesses?

🌀Where employees feel valued and supported, they thrive - and so does your business
🌀Less absenteeism - so better productivity
🌀Less presenteeism - where employees come to work when they're really not fit to do so, or work extended hours because they feel they are not working at their best - and maybe make mistakes that can damage your business or reduce productivity
🌀Better reputation as an employer, attracting quality employee applications and better standing in the business community (and reduced staff turnover)
🌀Higher motivation, morale, job satisfaction and employee engagement
🌀Reducing stigma in the workplace leads to more open communication and the opportunity for early support and signposting

Is it time your business considered Mental Health First Aid Training?

❓Do you know where the defibrillator in the image is located?

🚑At a local Salisbury primary school🎓, but fully accessibly even when school is closed. Handy for a spot of tennis 🎾or some allotment digging , perhaps?

🚑Pop your guess below and I'll check back in with the answer on Saturday evening - and hopefully you'll learn the whereabouts of some that are new to you over the next few weeks as I put more photos up.

🎃31st October is not just Hallowe'en, it's also National Magic Day - just watch those sweets 🍭disappear into children's mouths!

As well as the usual alerts about watching for the danger of clothing catching fire from pumpkins (particularly from costumes which are made out of non-clothing material which might not have the relevant fire protection levels), there are also other dangers.

Choking is a key one - it's dark, it's harder to see the children and any choking issues might be less obvious. Sweets and lollipops are particular culprits, so here are a few tips for keeping everyone safe!

1) 🍬Don't allow children to eat their sweets until they get home. Walking along increases their chances of choking as if they should trip or stumble, taking a big breath in and potentially breathing in the sweet they are eating, particularly if they're not carefully watching where their feet are going due to excitement. Save them until they get home!🍬

2) 🧙‍♀️Make sure costumes / outfits don't drag on the floor - to help avoid tripping.🧙‍♀️

3) Take a torch 🔦even if the streets you're on are well lit, it can help to light the floor to ensure people stay upright!

4) ⛑Spend less than a minute watching the video so you know what to do if the worst should happen - all you need is knowledge and your own two hands. ⛑

If your child is small, get down on your knees behind them before carrying out abdominal thrusts - and if they do require even just one abdominal thrust, follow the Resuscitation Council guidelines and ensure they are seen in hospital as a precaution. 🚑

🎃Stay safe - enjoy your Hallowe'en and fingers crossed for the weather!🐈‍⬛

🚑On a housing estate on the edge of the city in SP2, this one was well publicised in the Salisbury Journal as the residents down the road collected the money to have it installed...🏠
