Ahmedabad. 11 October 2023 Wednesday

Diabetes is a disease that has absolutely no cure. There are certain precautions that help keep it under control, but one of the problems associated with diabetes is that it carries a high risk of certain diseases. That is, even a small mistake can cause many diseases in this. Meanwhile, whatever you do in this, do it carefully. One such work is pedicure in which the feet are cleaned. In this, the dead cells of the fingers are removed and the nails are scrubbed clean. Apart from this scrubbing cleans the entire feet including the heels but this can be harmful for diabetics.

Diabetics, especially those with uncontrolled blood sugar, are at increased risk of foot-related problems such as decreased blood circulation and tissue damage, and pedicures increase this risk.

Why Diabetics Should Avoid Pedicure

1. Risk of leg ulcers

Diabetes reduces blood circulation, causing poor blood circulation. An injury with a sharp instrument during a pedicure can cause an ulcer that won't heal. This lasts for a long time and can often worsen the condition.

2. Diabetic neuropathy

Diabetes can cause nerve damage, which can reduce sensation. When you can't feel sensation in your leg, you may not be aware of a cut or other injury, and this can become infected very quickly. You may not notice any cuts during a pedicure and they may cut deeper inside.

3. Fungal infection

Using unsanitized tools during a pedicure can increase the risk of fungal infection. It is often difficult to treat. Meanwhile, if you have diabetes, you should avoid the risk of fungal infection.

4. Ingrown nails

Cutting the nail too short during a pedicure can cause it to grow inward. Ingrown toenails can easily become infected for diabetics. Sometimes surgery may occur. During this time, the infection can spread further, causing gangrene or life-saving amputation.

Does the corona virus survive in the body for 3 days after death?

Image
Washington, April 19, 2020, Sunday, The epidemic of the corona virus is on the rise in the world. As the virus spreads like a fire, hundreds of people have died and many people have died in hospital in the midst of life and death. In addition to the corona virus drug and vaccine, there is research that is underway to uncover shocking details. In Italy, priests associated with the funeral of corona infected bodies were also infected. In many countries, more than 7-10 people have been banned from joining coroners in the funeral of a coronary infected person. While a guideline has also been issued for the coroner's funeral, the question is how important it is to know how long the corona virus survives in the body even after death.

- Scientists succeed in turning A blood group into a universal donor with the help of enzymes in the gut New delhi date. Thursday, April 8, 2021 The O blood group is no longer the only universal donor in the world. Canadian scientists have also made blood group A a universal donor using a special type of bacterial enzyme. This will result in fewer deaths due to blood shortage in hospitals now and more and more patients ’blood needs can be met. The United States alone requires 16,500 liters of blood per day for emergency surgery, scheduled operations, and routine transfusions. But no blood of any group can be transfused to the patient. Successful transfusion requires that the donor's blood type match the patient's blood type. Scientists have discovered microbes in the human gut that secrete two types of enzymes. With the help of this enzyme, scientists have turned type-A i.e. A blood group into a universal donor. If this process is successful on a large scale, there will be...
