Kick your week off with Mentoring Monday, presented by 4wordwomen.org.

"How to say "no" and enjoy it." Women, especially, have a difficult time turning down requests from loved ones, organizations, work, etc. This can cause a sense of overwhelm, stress, and dissatisfaction. Learning how to say no and being confident in the why, can be a glorious thing. I wish I had learned this skill at a younger age, but it is never too late!

Chronic pelvic pain, painful sex and heavy bleeding may send some women to the doctor fearing the worst – the need for removal of their reproductive organs. But while physicians perform hysterectomies on more than 500,000 women in America each year, new research shows that one in five of those women may not even need the surgery.  

 Top hysterectomy surgeon and medical advisor Dr. Lori Warren is answering questions for women who need help now!

Each year millions of women visit their doctors after suffering from pelvic and abdominal pain and many may be told they need to have a hysterectomy.  For young women who want to have children, having a hysterectomy is a devastating blow. Even women over 40 have lots of questions about how it will affect their health.  But new research suggests that as many as 1 in 5 women may not even need the surgery. 

1.    Dr. Warren, why bring attention to this now and dedicate the month of May to awareness?

2.    The research shows some pretty shocking statistics.  Why are so many women having hysterectomies that don’t need them?

3.    Why is this surgery so often seen as a “go to solution” by Ob-Gyn doctors?

4.    In this day in age, why do younger women avoid talking about the symptoms they’re facing, even with their own doctors?

5.    If so many women don’t need to have the surgery, who really needs it and who doesn’t?

Author Robert McNally shares his life lessons. Reminiscing about the "good 'ol days” can drum up some interesting memories of days gone by, a simpler time when the biggest concern children had was how many minutes they could play outside until Mom and Dad noticed the streetlights were on.  After all, that was the universal signal that it was time to hightail it into the house.  Author Robert McNally's hilarious recollection of his childhood memories, in The Memoir of a Boy on His Dangerous Journey trilogy is reminiscent of Huck Finn.  

The trilogy includes two volumes to-date:  I Had Jelly on My Nose and A Hole in My Breeches (vol. 1), Sister Superior's Thumb, the Pope's Ring and the End of Childhood (vol. 2), and the final book in the trilogy is currently being penned.

I Had Jelly on My Nose and A Hole in My Breeches (vol. 1) highlights McNally's childhood during WWII and the Great Depression when he grew up near a crematory and a jail. This wide-eyed, young boy's inner circle included members of his family, inmates of the county jail, and his best friend Rosemary. In his surroundings were gypsies, beggars and hobos.  

The second volume of the trilogy, Sister Superior's Thumb, the Pope's Ring and the End of Childhood, continues on with McNally's adventures as he enters adolescence.  One day he picked himself up and walked out of school and did not return. Three months later he was registered in a different one. 

Robert McNally writes about his life's adventures growing up in Ridgewood and Middle Village, NY, at the coaxing of friends and family.  Insurance auditor, turned writer, McNally now resides in New York with his wife.

Nearly 30 million Americans have diabetes, with 1.7 million new cases diagnosed each year

-86 million Americans age 20 and older had pre-diabetes in 2012, up from 79 million in 2010

-Approximately six million Americans use insulin to manage their diabetes*

 

 

Nearly 30 million Americans have diabetes, and about six million people use life-saving insulin to manage their diabetes. The disease is complex and often overwhelming, creating barriers that may prevent people with diabetes from enjoying the same opportunities as everyone else.

 

Certified Diabetes Educator and Registered Dietician, Tami Ross joins us today to talk about things people with diabetes can do to simplify their lives. Welcome!

 

What are some of the challenges people with diabetes face on a daily basis?

What tips do you have for people to best control their diabetes?

Can you tell us about the “Dynamic Duos” education campaign and the role diabetes educators play in working with patients?

Are there new technologies that reduce the steps to insulin injection and conceal the needle?

How much of a game changer is this new needle where you don’t have to actually see the needle itself? How big of a deal is that for diabetes patients?

Where can we go for more information?

Diabetes requires continual blood sugar monitoring, meal planning, exercise and stress management. Medication may be needed for the rest of their lives, including insulin, which often requires multiple injections per day.
