It’s National Diabetes Education Week!

Over the past 20 years, the number of adults diagnosed with diabetes in the US has more than doubled. Today, around 38 million American adults are living with diabetes, according to the CDC.

Diabetes isn’t just one condition, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲𝘀, each with different causes and ways to manage them:

• 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲 𝟭 𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗲𝘀: An autoimmune condition where the body no longer makes insulin.
• 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲 𝟮 𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗲𝘀: The most common form, where the body doesn’t use insulin properly.
• 𝗚𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗲𝘀 (𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘆): A type that develops during pregnancy and usually goes away after birth, though it increases the risk of developing type 2 later in life.

While managing diabetes can be challenging, it is absolutely manageable with the right information, tools, and support.

The PMC Wellness Team offers a Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support program called 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗲𝘀𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁. The goal of this program is to help you feel empowered and confident in managing your diabetes, so you can live a full and healthy life.

Do you know the signs and symptoms of lung cancer?

𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵, and PMC is sharing important information from the American Cancer Society to help you recognize the possible warning signs. 𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘆𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀.

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘆𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲:
• A cough that doesn’t go away or gets worse
• Coughing up blood or rust-colored phlegm
• Chest pain that worsens with deep breathing, coughing, or laughing
• Hoarseness
• Loss of appetite
• Unexplained weight loss
• Shortness of breath
• Feeling tired or weak
• Recurring infections like bronchitis or pneumonia
• New onset of wheezing

While lung cancer may not cause noticeable symptoms in its early stages, some people do experience signs before the cancer spreads. That’s why it’s important to pay attention to any persistent or unusual changes in your health.

PMC Recommends Annual Lung Cancer Screenings screenings with a low-dose CT (LDCT) scan for individuals who:

· Have a 20 pack-year or more smoking history, and
· Currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years, and
· Are between the ages of 50 and 80

If you notice any signs or symptoms, speak with your healthcare provider or pulmonologist.

A friendly reminder from PMC, Daylight Savings Time ends tomorrow, November 2nd!

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝘀 “𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸” 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲. While the fall time change is generally easier to manage than the spring shift, the PMC Sleep Department recommends a few simple strategies to help ease the transition and make the most of that extra hour:

1. 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗶𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝟳 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁. Avoid alcohol and caffeine prior to bed.
2. 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 - For the week after the change, try to spend time outdoors each morning. Morning sunlight helps reset your internal clock, boosts energy, and improves alertness throughout the day.
3. 𝗔 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲, 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗮𝗱𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 - In the week leading up to the time change, begin shifting your daily routines, such as meals, exercise, pet care, and especially bedtime, 𝗯𝘆 𝟭𝟬 𝘁𝗼 𝟭𝟱 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗱𝗮𝘆. These small changes act as cues for your body to adapt
4. 𝗦𝗲𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟭. As you're getting ready for bed, turn your clocks back an hour. Then, head to bed when you feel sleepy, usually close to your normal bedtime.

Good luck with the time change! We hope you wake up on Sunday feeling well-rested and refreshed.

Summer heat and humidity can make it tough to stay motivated to exercise. But fall may be the perfect time to get motivated and moving again.🍁

Here are 4 reasons why working out in the fall may be better than in the summer, from PMC's Wellness Team:

1. 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗿, 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿: Say goodbye to heat and humidity! Fall temperatures make outdoor activities like walking, jogging, or biking much more enjoyable.
2. 𝗙𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: With summer vacations behind you, it’s easier to stick to a consistent routine.
3. 𝗬𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 = 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗼𝘂𝘁: Raking leaves and other fall chores can double as great calorie-burning activities!
4. 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗚𝘆𝗺𝘀: With fewer people hitting the gym, you may find shorter waits and more space to move.

Remember: Exercise is good for your body, mind, and soul. Aim for at least 30 minutes of activity a day- How you move doesn't matter, as long as you keep moving.

We hope this motivates you to kickstart your fall fitness journey!🚶‍♀🚶‍♂️🚶

In recognition of 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵, PMC’s Wellness team is sharing key signs of bullying and how you can respond with care and support. Bullying can deeply impact a child’s or teen’s overall well-being, and 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗼 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁.

• Changes in behavior, such as acting withdrawn or anxious.
• Loss of interest in activities they usually enjoy.
• Trouble sleeping or changes in appetite.
• Increased moodiness or sensitivity.
• Avoiding specific situations, like riding the school bus or attending certain classes.

If you notice these signs and suspect bullying, but your child is hesitant to talk, try approaching the conversation gently and at different times.

If your child does open up:
• Respond with calm reassurance and thank them for sharing.
• Let them know they are not alone.
• Work together to find a solution and ensure they feel safe and supported.
