Dear Harriette: My neighbors are from another country, and I honestly believe they have the smell of the body of sausages.
His house is not dirty; I think it should be just what they eat. All I know is that the smell is filtered in the hall and makes me vomit.
There is nothing I can say about it, but is there anything I can do?
We live in an apartment building, so we are physically close to each other. I feel sick every time I spend.
– Bad body smell
Dear smell of the bad body: What people eat can affect the way they smell. Think about how your breathing smells after eating onions. Then amplify that depending on a stable diet or in some foods for children or spicy.
You are right that you can’t ask them to do something to make a difference.
You can use incense, candles or fragrance of the room in your own apartment to cover it with an aroma that you prefer. If there is a table or surface in the hall of your building where you can already put on scented, try that. There is no risk of fire, but it will alter the aroma of space.
Dear Harriette: Recently, one of its readers, “aware of health,” asked how to inspire family members prone to best health practices.
According to medical statistics, in principle, diabetics are the secondleast Patients who meet a doctor see. That means that only when diagnostic, diabetics are among patients less likely to follow advice and medical protocols or use medications. (Less fulfilled patients are those with COPD).
I know at least one patient who ignored her symptoms until one leg was necrotic and had to be amputated above the knee. Due to the continuous breach and complications, he spent 13 months in the hospital, required three more surgeries, contracted in pneumonia and has accumulated approximately $ 2.5 million in hospital invoices. He has had significant settings and is disabled by the rest of his life.
This man continues to ignore the consequences, and his partner suspects that when he can make trips in his scooter through the neighborhood, he stops in coffee shops and eats sweets “in the cunning.”
While the card writer is well intentional and probably fears for his relatives, there is little that can be done more than pointing out the risks and being a good model to follow. I also come from a high -risk family and have coined a healthy lifestyle for 75 years without incident.
I wish that everyone in this situation best, but they realize that trying to change a diabetic is basically impossible; They need to do it, and all one can do is sacrifice support if they do.
– Verification of reality
Dear reality check: Thank you for this Aleccuador reminder for families and those who live with diabetes.
While investigating more about how caregivers can protect themselves and their loved ones, I noticed that ideas are scarce. Here are some tips that suggest that you stay practical while you love them and tend to yourself: Medtronicdiabetes.com/family-and-children/tips-vor-cargivers.
