Don’t let fear of bladder accidents keep you from an active life filled with work, friends, and family. Incontinence is not a
normal part of aging, nor is it something you just have to live with.
There are plenty of things you can do. The sooner you call your doctor,
the faster you can get treated.
First Steps
It’s not easy to talk
about incontinence. That’s why women wait, on average, 6 years before
they get help. Take the first step and call your doctor. He might refer
you to a urologist, gynecologist, or urogynecologist who treats urinary
conditions. At your first visit, ask if your diet, health conditions, or
medications could be causing the problem.

If
you’re suffering from incontinence, you’re likely to think of it as
being inconvenient and embarrassing, but we also need to think in terms
of our health. Having urine trapped against the skin can create many
problems, including skin irritation and infection. This is why
incontinence hygiene is important, whether you face incontinence, or
whether you care for a loved one who is afflicted with incontinence. Read more: GoldenEraMart-Health-Junction
Diabetes can increase the
risk of eye problems. Your blood sugar (glucose) levels may be high
because your body can’t make or use insulin properly. Too much blood
sugar can build up, damaging nerves and blood vessels in the body. When
the damage happens in the blood vessels in the eyes, this can lead to
vision loss or blindness. Anyone with diabetes is at risk, so it’s
important to get routine eye exams.

Drink In Moderation
Most people with
diabetes can enjoy some alcohol. Rules are the same as for everyone
else: one drink per day for women; two for men. But you need to know how
alcohol affects your blood sugar. A sugary drink might spike your blood
sugar. But if you drink on an empty stomach or take certain meds, your
levels could swing too low.
