NATIONAL WEAR RED DAY
Friday, February 3rd!
Support Go Red For Women by wearing red on Friday, February 3, 2017.
Heart disease and stroke cause 1 in 3 deaths among women each year, killing approximately one woman every 80 seconds. Fortunately we can change that because 80 percent of cardiac and stroke events may be prevented with education and action. Wear red February 3rd and encourage the women around you to make the time to know the five numbers all women should know to take control of their health: Total Cholesterol, HDL (good) Cholesterol, Blood Pressure, Blood Sugar and Body Mass Index (BMI).
HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of our patients, family, and friends! May 2017 be overflowing with HAPPINESS, HEALTH, PEACE, and LOVE!
Lisa Dructor is feeling happy with Sally Walther and 5 others.

NOVEMBER IS AMERICAN DIABETES AWARENESS MONTH
To raise awareness about diabetes and healthy living, Cherry Hill Associates in Internal Medicine is proudly participating in American Diabetes Month.
Diabetes is one of the leading causes of disability and death in the United States. One in 11 Americans have diabetes — that’s more than 29 million people. And another 86 million adults in the United States are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
What is diabetes?
Diabetes is a disease. People with diabetes have too much glucose (sugar) in their blood.
Your body depends on glucose for energy. When you eat, most of the food turns into glucose. Your blood carries the glucose to other parts of your body.
When you have diabetes, your body has trouble turning glucose into energy. Instead of being used by your body, the glucose builds up in your blood. The rest of your body is starved of energy.
There’s no cure for diabetes, but it can be managed. Lifestyle changes may help manage diabetes. In other cases, medication may be necessary. Unmanaged diabetes increases the risk of:
--Blindness
--Nerve damage
--Kidney disease
--Heart disease
--Stroke
You may be at risk for type 2 diabetes if you:
--Are age 40 or older
--Are overweight
--Have a parent or sibling with diabetes
--Are African American, Hispanic or Latino American, American Indian, Asian American, or Pacific Islander
--Have had gestational diabetes or have had a baby who weighed more than 9 pounds at birth
--Have high blood pressure or cholesterol
--Exercise less than 3 times a week
--Have prediabetes
What are the signs of diabetes?
Many people with diabetes don’t know they have it. Some signs of diabetes include:
--Being very thirsty or very hungry
--Feeling tired for no reason
--Urinating (going to the bathroom) more than usual
--Losing weight for no reason
--Having cuts or bruises that are slow to heal
--Having trouble seeing (blurry vision)
--Losing feeling or having tingling in your hands or feet
Not everyone who has diabetes has these signs. If you have any of these signs or think you may be at risk, talk with your doctor about getting tested for diabetes.
The good news is that making healthy changes can greatly lower your risk. To help prevent type 2 diabetes:
--Watch your weight
--Eat healthy
--Get more physical activity
