Warning Signs of Lung Disease Include:

Chronic cough: A cough that you have had for eight weeks or longer is considered chronic. This is an important early symptom that tells you something is wrong with your respiratory system.

Shortness of breath: It's not normal to experience shortness of breath that doesn't go away after exercising, or that you have after little or no exertion. Labored or difficult breathing—the feeling that it is hard to breathe in out—is also a warning sign.

Chronic mucus production: Mucus, also called sputum or phlegm, is produced by the airways as a defense against infections or irritants. If your mucus production has lasted a month or longer, this could indicate lung disease.

Wheezing: Noisy breathing or wheezing is a sign that something unusual is blocking your lungs' airways or making them too narrow.

Coughing up blood: If you are coughing up blood, it may be coming from your lungs or upper respiratory tract. Wherever it's coming from, it signals a health problem.

Chronic chest pain: Unexplained chest pain that lasts for a month or more—especially if it gets worse when you breathe in or cough—also is a warning sign.

Talk to our Doctors to find out more about improving your lung health and managing lung disease if you have any of the above concerns.

Because I feel that, in the Heavens above,
The angels, whispering to one another,
Can find, among their burning terms of love,
None so devotional as that of “Mother."

Insulin Therapy: Who Needs It?
Insulin is required for people with type 1 diabetes and sometimes necessary for people with type 2 diabetes, particularly when a diabetic person's HbA1c level at diagnosis is greater than 10% or if someone's fasting blood glucose level is consistently above 250 mg/dl. The goal of taking insulin is to keep your blood sugar level in a normal range as much as possible, particularly if oral diabetic medications have failed to do so.

Once I start Insulin Therapy, would I need it forever?
Not necessarily! If you can lose weight, change your diet, increase your activity level, or change your medications you may be able to reduce or stop insulin therapy.

How to administer Insulin Injections?
Insulin is injected just under the skin. The usual places to inject insulin are the upper arm, the front and side parts of the thighs, and the abdomen. Don’t inject insulin closer than 2 inches from your belly button.
Your doctor will show you how and where to give an insulin injection.

For more information, pls approach our clinic staff or doctors. We are here to help you keep your blood sugar level in check! ... See MoreSee Less
