We all have heard of Diabetes, but do you know what Pre Diabetes is?

Well, we have Dr. Theresa Morrow, PharmD, who is an expert in this area and is going to educate us, with her sweet personality and her very relatable story.

She is also developing a workshop where she will guide, support, and instruct you on what to do after you get diagnosed as Pre-Diabetic.

Some of the most relevant points she made are:

• I'm just a Coal Miner's Daughter. I grew up in South West Virginia, that is rural, Appalachian Virginia. It's at the corner in about 30 minutes from the state of West Virginia. But when I graduated, there was great shortage of pharmacists

• We mix that IV medicine so we have a sterile room just like it's an operating room. We mix the medicine in that sterile room. And then we package it and deliver it to the patient's home where they can actually have the medicine at home so they can get better over time

• And I'm trying to do some stuff on the side with what I really care about what matters to me, which is the pre-diabetes

• I am working on creating a workshop called Pre-Diabetes Plan. And in that plan, I want to help people with pre-diabetes. And I have a passion for that because I have pre-diabetes. I've had it for 10 years, and I have such a struggle.

• When you're of a certain age like I am, and you have insulin resistance, and so many things that contribute to the weight gain, it's just very difficult. And it's discouraging, and you feel like you feel hopeless.

• If you're overweight, you probably should be checking it much younger and there are screening recommendations on when all that should be done. So if you don't know what your A1C is, I would say talk to your doctor and see if you qualify for that.

• She had three toes amputated before she was ever diagnosed as a diabetic. Which, you know, we kept saying she's got to be a diabetic and they can't say No, she's not. No, she's not. And you know, so now I hope today that would never happen. But still, that is an example that shows you can't just look at one point in time about what your blood sugars are doing because it does fluctuate and when it fluctuates, it can damage the nerves in your body and affect your kidneys and so many things that are affected...

Como ser humano que vive en el planeta tierra, estoy preocupada con este virus nuevo llamado Corona, que por cierto se esta dispersando muy rápido.

Por lo que decidí, investigar y entender que es y como podría afectarme a mi y a mis seres queridos.

Y como la información que se esta difundiendo, no es la correcta, decidí compartirla con ustedes.

Espero que la encuentren informativo.

Los puntos mas relevante que mencione en el episodio son:

• Que es el virus, porque lo llaman Corona, como nos pudiera afectar, y como podemos protegernos.
• Donde podemos ir a buscar la información fidedigna y correcta, ademas de actualizada, al menos 3 veces por semana, difindida por las organizaciones internacionales que coordinan este tipo de pandemia.
• Que puedes hacer para protegerte y para proteger a los que quieres.
• Quienes están en el mas alto riesgo.

Adios!

As a human being that lives on planet earth, I am concern about this new Coronavirus that is spreading way too far.

I decided to research and understand what it is and how it could affect me and my loved ones. So, I decided to share that information with all of you. I hope that you find it informative and it does help you.

Some of the most relevant points she made are:

What is this virus, why it is called Corona, how could it affect us, and how can we protect ourselves. Where to find current information related to Corona Virus, information that gets updated 2-3 times a week, by those international and national organizations that protect, inform, and dictates protocols for the US and the world respectively. Visual aids, that could be downloaded and printed to publish at your place of work or schools. What to do to protect yourself and those that you love. Who is more at risk with this virus If you think that you or someone you know can benefit from the information shared in this episode, please share it with them.

This episode is quite informative and a bit deep into the pharmacy world for those that are not part of it. I believe the information that Sharzad had shared with you is going to be useful and an eye-opener for your own health and the health of those you love.

If you get the chance to work with her, DO NOT DOUBT IT! She is sweet, has so much compassion, and SO KNOWLEDGABLE!!!

Some of the most relevant points she made are:

• There are times that women think that oh, well, this is how it's supposed to be or my mom went through it the same way or No; my neighbor didn't have any symptoms. So maybe I'm just kind of a hypochondriac and thinking that there's something, you know, wrong, where it's not.
• I meet with the patient talk to them, I go over their past medical history, their family history, risk factors for developing a different disease, their symptoms, their blood work. I talked to them about hormonal and non-hormonal ways to help improve their symptoms that may include lifestyle modifications, it may include supplements, I do, go over their supplements, make sure that they're taking the right things that are needed. For example, a postmenopausal woman may be at higher risk for developing bone loss and break your bone osteoporosis, right. So we want to make sure that they're taking the calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, etc.
• I appreciate the opportunity that my patients have given me over the past 20 years, I've probably done close to 20,001 on one consultation with patients
• Women who experienced vaginal dryness because their hormone levels have dropped, oftentimes end up having bladder problems, such as a leak, Urinary tract infections. Yeah. So things that are related to the bladder, they constantly have to go to the bathroom. And oftentimes, once we address the vaginal dryness, it may help the bladder function.

Compounding Pharmacies are essential for a lot of us.

We need to know what they can do for you, how it works, and what alternatives do they offer, so we (and our loved ones) get what we need!

Some of the most relevant points she made are:

• We can in a compounding lab, add special flavors that make it more palatable where you can actually not taste the bitter awful taste of a drug like that. We can make it great marshmallow flavored, or tutti frutti flavored or chocolate mint flavored, etc. So we can improve palatability.

• If you're gluten intolerant, we make sure to make the product with not containing any gluten sources at all. lactose intolerant, if you can't swallow pills and we'll make it as a liquid or a suppository. If you needed applied topically, we can apply it topically. topical pain creams are a big mover in our compounding pharmacy. And that can combine more than one ingredient that helps to relieve chronic pain into a cream that you rub on externally to relieve that pain.insurance companies today rarely cover compounds. They just figured out, I'm not going to have to pay for this. I don't want to pay for this. So I'm going to say not covered. So often they do not cover

• But if it's not going to be covered by the insurance and the custom preparation is necessary for that patient, we work with the patient to make it the most affordable we can if the doctor prescribed a very expensive, active pure chemical ingredient, and there's a less expensive one for example, that would work equally as well. We Contact the doctor and ask if we can substitute it to make it more affordable for you the patients.Most of our compounding prices for a one month supply range in the 40 to $125 range for a one month supplyJust like in the food industry. We want you want a pure food product. In a restaurant inspectors inspect restaurants to make sure the kitchens are clean, and they're being cooked in a in a safe and sanitary measure.

• Because when you are going through the time that we females go through, that we have lower level of progesterone, estrogen and testosterone, we need a replacement, but not everybody has the same needs. So if you start taking stuff that are commercially available, you might not have exactly what you need

• Similar lab inspections can occur in compounding labs, by state boards of pharmacy or the Food and Drug Administration. Hormone replacement therapy is one of our very big movers; males and females a lot we compound products like estrogen or progesterone or testosterone into a custom made preparation.

• There are commercially available alternatives for those some are oral some are topical, but they're only made in a very small range of strengths. So for example progesterone capsules for women are only made in a 100 and a 200 milligrams and that's it. But perhaps you the patient can't tolerate the hundred-milligram strength it makes you too sleepy

• When you are going through the time that we females go through, that we have lower level of progesterone, estrogen and testosterone, we need a replacement, but not everybody has the same needs. So if you start taking stuff that are commercially available, you might not have exactly what you need

In this episode, I will give you a general view of how retail independent pharmacies are different than retail. How the community can benefit from these types of pharmacy better than the chains and why I prefer them.

Also, I give you a general view of what we pharmacists do at a hospital, how we collaborate with other health care specialists and how every-single-patient in a hospital NEEDS a pharmacist!

Some of the most relevant points of these episodes are:

• Independent retail pharmacies are small local businesses

• They are focused on community health, simply because the owners are part of that community.

• Independent pharmacies have more space and time for the patient to interact with the pharmacy staff

• These pharmacies normally have space for consultations with their patients and for other activities like vaccinations and Medication Therapy Management

• The time these pharmacies dedicate to their patients in 3-4 times longer than what big chain does. They simply have fewer patients

On this episode, I go depth about how deep into pharmacology (How drugs work) and Therapeutics (How drugs benefit a patient) pharmacist have to go to be allowed to sit for a Board test to be licensed, and the difference in this type of education with physicians.

Also, I will explain how the Federal Law and State Law work, how regulated pharmacy as a profession is and how much trouble we can get if we don't follow it.

In addition, I will tell you how important is for you to protect and secure you control drugs (Prescription) and the possible consequences of not doing so.

I get it is a long and not that fun episode, but the laws and regulations are just like that!

Future episodes will be more fun!!!
