La diabetes Tipo 1 es más común en niños y personas menores de 30 años, pero puede aparecer a cualquier edad. En una persona con diabetes Tipo 1 el páncreas no produce suficiente insulina. La persona necesita inyecciones diarias de insulina. Aproximadamente el 10% de las personas con diabetes tienen el Tipo 1. ¿Qué es la diabetes? Los cuerpos humanos, como los motores, necesitan combustible para funcionar. Un tipo de combustible que usamos es la glucosa, o azúcar, que viene de los alimentos. La cantidad correcta de azúcar ayuda a las células a trabajar bien, de modo que el cuerpo puede arrojar una pelota de béisbol o leer un libro. Una hormona llamada insulina asegura que el azúcar en el cuerpo tenga el equilibrio correcto. La insulina es producida por el páncreas. Si el páncreas no produce suficiente insulina, o el cuerpo no puede usar bien la insulina, el nivel de azúcar en el cuerpo se hace muy alto. Esto causa una enfermedad llamada diabetes.

Diabetes Facts

What is diabetes? Human bodies, like engines, need fuel to work. One source of fuel we use is the glucose, or sugar, that comes from food. The right amount of sugar helps cells work right so your body can throw a baseball or read a book. A hormone called insulin makes sure the sugar balance in the body is right. It is made by the pancreas. If the pancreas doesn’t make enough insulin, or the body can’t use the insulin well, the sugar level in the blood gets too high. This causes a disease called diabetes.

1 Changes to diet and activity levels can often control Type 2 diabetes. The person may need to take pills or insulin shots too. Type 2 is found in about 90% of people with diabetes. This pamphlet is about Type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes tends to happen in people over age 40 who are overweight and who have a family history of diabetes. The pancreas makes insulin, but the b dy can’t us it w ll. People with diabetes can lead normal lives and prevent serious problems if they get treatment. If diabetes isn’t treated, it can be life threatening. People with diabetes can greatly lower these risks by keeping their blood sugar under control. Is it serious? It can be. Having diabetes puts people at higher risk for: Heart and blood vessel damage Kidney dam ge Eye damage, including blindness Nerve damage Loss of feet or limbs

Protect yourself. What about sex?

WHAT IS THE HPV VACCINE?

Talk to your health care provider about the HPV vaccine to see if it’s right for you.

It’s very important to treat gonorrhea right away.

Not having sex is the surest protection against gonorrhea and other STD. Having sex with only one uninfected partner who only has sex with you is also safe. Safer Sex • Barriers such as latex condoms and dental dams will protect you from STDs most of the time. Using them when you have vaginal, anal, or oral sex is a great way to protect yourself. • Soft plastic (polyurethane) or nitrile condoms work well and you can use them if you’re allergic to latex. These come in both external and internal styles. • Try using water-based or silicone lubes with condoms and other barriers—lube can help sex feel better and protects condoms from breaking. • Get checked for gonorrhea and other STD regularly. Ask your health care provider to help you decide how often and which tests you should have.

Not having sex is the surest protection against genital warts and other STD. Having sex with only one uninfected partner who only has sex with you is also safe. Safer Sex • Barriers such as latex condoms and dental dams will protect you from HPV when they cover the area with active virus. Using them when you have vaginal, anal, or oral sex provides good protection. • Soft plastic (polyurethane) or nitrile condoms work well and you can use them if you’re allergic to latex. These come in both external and internal styles. • Try using water-based or silicone lubes with condoms and other barriers—lube can help sex feel better and protects condoms from breaking. • Get checked for genital warts and other STD regularly. Ask your health care provider to help you decide how often and which tests you should have.

• There is a vaccine that protects against most types of HPV that cause cancer and genital warts. • The vaccine is given in 2 or 3 shots over a 6-month period. It is recommended for people between ages 9 and 26. Older adults who want to be vaccinated may also get the shots. • The vaccine works best before a person begins to have sex. But it can also protect someone who has already had sex. • People with a vagina should still have regular Pap tests even if they get the vaccine. If you have genital warts… Get checked by a health care provider. • Don’t use remedies sold in stores for removing warts from other parts of the body. They won’t work on genital warts, and may even be harmful. • Tell your sex partner(s). Your partner should be examined and treated if they have warts. • Tell your provider if you’re pregnant and you think you might have genital warts.

Genital Warts & HPV Pamphlet English #157 Spanish #R889 HPV & Cervical Cancer Pamphlet • If you have gonorrhea, your provider will give you antibiotic pills or a single shot. • If you are given pills, take all the pills. Gonorrhea may come back if you don’t. • Wait to have sex. Ask your provider how long after treatment you must wait. • Tell your sex partner(s). Your partner must be treated, too. Otherwise he or she could give gonorrhea to someone else or back to you. It felt a little awkward to talk about getting checked for STD, but it felt good to go to the clinic together.

Prenatal Care

What Is Prenatal Care?

Danger Signs Call your health care provider if you have: • Bleeding from the vagina. • Swelling of your face and hands. • Bad pain in your abdomen. • A fever over 100 degrees. • Burning when you urinate. • Decreased fetal movement or fewer than 10 kicks in 2 hours after the 28th week. • Vomiting or diarrhea that lasts more than 24 hours. • Fluid leaking from your vagina. • Pain or pressure in your belly or back that gets stronger over several hours. • Bad headaches. • Blurry eyesight.

Prenatal care is the health care you get when you’re pregnant. You can get prenatal care from a doctor, nurse practitioner or nurse midwife. Another name for all these people is “health care provider.” Checkups should start as soon as you think you might be pregnant: • In your first 6 months, you’ll usually get a checkup once a month. • In months 7 and 8, you’ll go twice a month. • In your last month, you’ll go every week.

There are many reasons to get prenatal care.

Prenatal Care + Gives a thorough overview of prenatal care + Discusses why it’s so critical + Covers nutrition and danger signs that require immediate medical attention Large-Format Pamphlet English #087 Spanish #033

• Your provider can check your health and take care of any problems before they become serious. • Your provider can make sure your baby is growing well. • Some important tests are done while you’re pregnant to check your health and your baby’s health. • Prenatal visits give you a chance to ask questions and to learn about your pregnancy. You can get prenatal care from many places: • the public health department • county hospitals • family planning clinics • a private doctor If you don’t know where to go, call your local public health department for help.

I know it’s important to get prenatal care to keep my baby and me healthy.

What Is a Drug?

(This is called stillbirth.) • The baby may come too early, Pregnancy & Drugs + Clearly explains drug risks during pregnancy + Lists things to do to help avoid risks + Encourages expectant moth rs to stay drug free + Covers alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, plus prescription, over-the-counter, and illeg l drugs + Convenient foldout chart explains effects on mother and baby Large-Format Pamphlet English #078 Spanish #271 before its body and organs are ready. Some of these babies die. • The mother can have a hard time giving birth. She may be in labor a long time. • A pregnant woman can get HIV if she shares needles to inject drugs. Her baby can be born with HIV. • A mother who uses drugs may be stressed or anxious. She may be sick or depressed. She may not eat or sleep well. All these increase the chances of harm to the baby. Drugs can harm a baby after it’s born. • The baby may weigh less at birth. It may be short and small. Small babies have more health problems. • The baby may have birth defects. Its heart, liver, kidneys or genitals may be deformed. Arms, legs, fingers or feet may be missing or deformed. The head or face may be deformed. • The baby may die suddenly for no reason. This is called crib death or sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). • The baby may be overactive, cry a lot and get angry easily. Later, it may have trouble thinking and learning. • The baby may be born addicted to drugs. It may be sick when it doesn’t get the drug from the mother’s blood. This is called withdrawal. Tobacco, alcohol, caffeine, prescription, over-the-counter and illegal drugs can all harm your baby. How Can Drugs Harm the Baby?

Be Careful About Drugs There are many things you can do to increase your chances of having a healthy baby.

• Have regular checkups. Stay as healthy as you can to increase the chances that your baby will be born healthy. • Don’t take any drug without asking your health care provider. If you get sick while you’re pregnant, your health care provider will help you decide what’s best for you and your baby. • Read the labels on over-the-counter medicines. Ask your provider or pharmacist about the drugs that are listed. Read the labels on food and drinks. Some, such as soft drinks, contain caffeine.

• It’s never too late to stop using a drug. Any time a mother stops using drugs she increases the chances that her baby will be born healthy. • Get help. Some pregnant women may find it hard to stop using drugs. Your health care provider can help you if you want to stop using drugs.

Coping Without Drugs Many common problems of pregnancy can be treated without drugs. • Rest when tired. • Treat stress or a headache with a walk and fresh air. • Pay attention to what you eat. Proper nutrition can help relieve nausea, heartburn and constipation.

I check with my doctor before taking any kind of medicine.
