Diabetes and wound healing: Reasons, Treatment and Prevention
This article is originally published on Freedom from Diabetes website, available here. Diabetic patients should be more careful about the dealing with wounds. Wounds of diabetics do not heal quicky, it will take more time to recover. Even a small scratch or blister can turn into an ulcerous wound. This can happen anywhere on the body, though the feet are the most commonly affected.

Diabetes is a chronic disease brought about by insulin resistance. This is a condition caused by the body’s inability to use the insulin produced by the pancreas, so insufficient insulin production. As a result, glucose absorbed from the food you eat cannot reach the cells where they are needed to create energy. Instead, the glucose accumulates in the bloodstream, where, if left untreated, it causes havoc to almost every organ and system in the body. Lets understand the slow wound healing.
Why wounds heal slowly in diabetes?
Diabetes compromises your body’s self-healing capacity, there are three primary reasons for this:
Insufficient nutrients and oxygen reaching cells
High Blood Sugar Levels (BSL) lead to increase the thickness of blood cells, reducing blood flow, effectively reducing the volume of oxygen and nutrients from reaching the cells.
Compromised immune system
High BSL affects your immune system, it will weakens your immune system, it reducing its ability to fight off bacterial infection. Worse, the high blood sugar feeds the harmful bacteria that begin to flourish, further aggravating the wound.
Increased inflammation
You should aware about this there is a strong connection between diabetes and inflammation. This inflammation, which is worse in people suffering from obesity, has a direct impact on healing. If the BSL is not checked, this inflammation will spreads to other parts of the body and begins to damage organ health. So be more carefull about this. Now will see, what are the warning signs of it.
Diabetic Wounds And Warning Signs
You know it’s time to visit the doctor if you notice any of the following signs, especially if the symptoms below last for longer than a week.
Tingling/pins and needles
Burning feeling
No sensation in the area
Persistent pain
Swelling
Diabetics peoples be careful about wounds and its complications. Therefore Over time high BSL causes damage to nerves and blood vessels, which results in a loss of sensation. This is a real concern for diabetics, as it can lead to serious complications, the most serious of which is amputation. Statistically, diabetics are 15 times more likely to require amputations, due to foot wounds or ulcers, than others. So we will discuss about its Prevention & Treatment.
Regularly checkup your wounds, this is the basic prevention to avoid infections and complications. You have to check your cuts and bruises regularly.
2. Clean up dead skin- Necrosis, a condition characterized by excess dead cellular tissue, is a common occurrence with diabetic wounds. This dead tissue is a breeding ground for bacteria and toxins.
3. Change dressings regularly to keep the wound clean and reduce bacteria.
You have to increase your overall immunity and health, including you should have proper diet including healthy beans, legumes, berries and other fiber-rich food. Daily exercise, such as cardiovascular activity, yoga, also increase the physical activity also.
5. You have to be stress free. Don't take stress. And be happy.
So follow these tips from today, and stay healthy and happy.

Some interesting science analyzed
BY BROOKS LEITNER
Imagine lying back in an enclosed chamber where you bask for 90 minutes in a sea of pure oxygen at pressures two to three times that felt at sea level. This is the world of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), a technology that’s been around for decades and is now being explored as a possible treatment for Long COVID.
"The silence on the inside is deafening at first,” says John M.,* who has undergone dozens of HBOT treatments for his persistent Long COVID symptoms. Fortunately, there is a television outside the chamber in view, and it is easy to communicate with the provider if needed. While the potential protocol is still being refined, patients may undergo up to 40 HBOT sessions to address some of the most problematic, lingering symptoms of this complex condition.
HBOT is a therapeutic process that has been widely used to treat such conditions as decompression sickness in scuba divers, carbon monoxide poisoning, and diabetic foot ulcers. In HBOT, the body is exposed to 100% oxygen, a significant increase from the 21% oxygen concentration we typically breathe. The therapy takes place in an enclosed chamber where the air pressure is elevated above normal levels. The combination of high-pressure and high-oxygen conditions enhances the amount of oxygen that can reach the body's tissues. The hope is that this therapy can provide the same relief and healing to people with Long COVID that it does for those with other conditions.
According to John M., HBOT was the first treatment that helped with his sleep and reduced his heart palpitations. “At one point after hospitalization, my Long COVID symptoms were so bad that I could barely walk or talk. HBOT was a great tool that really assisted with my recovery,” he said. John added that he hopes the medical community will achieve a better understanding of how HBOT can help relieve suffering for patients with Long COVID and that more research will increase access to this innovative therapy.
Does HBOT improve Long COVID symptoms? One key observation from the work of Inderjit Singh, MBChB, an assistant professor at Yale School of Medicine (YSM) specializing in pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine, is that Long COVID patients often experience debilitating fatigue. Based on Dr. Singh��s previous Long COVID research, the exhaustion is thought to be linked to the muscles’ inability to efficiently extract and utilize oxygen.
To picture how HBOT might work, you can think of your muscles as engines sputtering, struggling to get the fuel they need. If oxygen is the gas that fuels the muscles, it’s as if you are trying to complete your daily routine while the gas tank is running on “empty.” By aiming to directly address this oxygen utilization impairment, HBOT may be a potential solution.
A systematic review by researchers at the China Medical University Hospital noted that HBOT could tackle another major factor in the Long COVID puzzle: oxidative stress. This relates to the body's struggle to maintain balance when harmful molecules, known as free radicals, run amok, causing chronic inflammation.
Research co-authored by Sandra K. Wainwright, MD, medical director of the Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Wound Healing at Greenwich Hospital in Connecticut, suggests that HBOT, with its high-oxygen environment, might dampen this chronic inflammation by improving mitochondrial activity and decreasing production of harmful molecules. Other potential benefits of HBOT in the treatment of Long COVID may include restoration of oxygen to oxygen-starved tissues, reduced production of inflammatory cytokines, and increased mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells—primary cells that transform into red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
HBOT for Long COVID: Current and ongoing research Several small-scale reports have indicated that HBOT is safe for patients with Long COVID.
To address this question, a trial that followed the gold standard of modern medical research—a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind design—assigned 73 Long COVID patients to either receive 40 sessions of HBOT or a placebo of only 21% oxygen. The study observed positive changes in attention, sleep quality, pain symptoms, and energy levels among participants receiving HBOT. In a longitudinal follow-up study published in Scientific Reports, the authors at the Tel Aviv University found that clinical improvements persisted even one year after the last HBOT session was concluded. In a second study, the same authors focused on heart function, measured by an echocardiogram, and found a significant reduction in heart strain, known as global longitudinal strain, in patients who received HBOT.
In another study, 10 patients with Long COVID underwent 10 HBOT treatments over 12 consecutive days. Testing showed statistically significant improvement in fatigue and cognitive function. Meanwhile, an ongoing trial at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden has reported interim safety results wherein almost half of the Long COVID patients in the trial reported cough or chest discomfort during treatment. However, it was unclear whether HBOT exacerbated this symptom or if this adverse effect was due to the effort of participation by patients suffering from more severe Long COVID symptoms.
Is HBOT currently available as a treatment for Long COVID? For HBOT to become a mainstream treatment option for Long COVID, several critical priorities must be addressed. First, there is currently no established method for tailoring HBOT dosages to individual patients, so researchers must learn more about the specific features or symptoms that indicate potential benefits from HBOT. At the same time, we need to identify factors that may be associated with any adverse outcomes of HBOT. And finally, it’s important to determine how long these potentially beneficial effects last in a larger cohort. Will just a few HBOT trials be enough to restore patients to their baseline health, or will HBOT become a recurring component of their annual treatment regimen?
For now, HBOT remains an experimental therapy—and as such is not covered by insurance. This is a huge issue for patients because the therapy is expensive. According to Dr. Wainwright, a six-week course of therapy can run around $60,000. That’s a lot to pay for a therapy that’s still being studied. In the current completed studies, different treatment frequencies and intensities have been used, but it’s unclear how the treatment conditions affect the patient’s outcome.
“I have had some patients notice improvements after only 10 or 15 treatments, whereas some others need up to 45 treatments before they notice a difference,” notes Dr. Wainwright. “I think that HBOT is offering some promising results in many patients, but it is probably a strong adjunctive treatment to the other spectrum of things Long COVID patients should be doing, like participating in an exercise, rehab, and nutritional program.”
Dr. Singh notes that “a major challenge for research is the heterogeneity of Long COVID. It is hard to determine which symptoms to treat and enroll patients into trials based on them.”
Perhaps treatments that target multiple issues caused by Long COVID, like HBOT, may help overcome this challenge.
*Not his real name.
Brooks Leitner is an MD/PhD candidate at Yale School of Medicine.
The last word from Lisa Sanders, MD: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is just one of the many existing treatments that are being looked at to treat Long COVID. We see this with many new diseases—trying to use a treatment that is effective in one set of diseases to treat another. And there is reason for optimism: We know that HBOT can deliver high levels of oxygen to tissues in need of oxygen. That’s why it’s used to treat soft tissue wounds. If reduced oxygen uptake is the cause of the devastating fatigue caused by Long COVID, as is suggested by many studies, then perhaps a better delivery system will help at least some patients.

How did Kyle and Stan get together in the OJV universe.
I didn't find it on Ao3. Or am I just blind?
It’s not in the ao3 lineup, though their first kiss is the focus of day 4 of my Style Week fic if you want that, bc I made the conscious decision to start the OJV in their sophomore year of high school even though they started dating as freshmen, but I’ve gotten into the beginning of their relationship a few times under the OrangeJuiceVerse tag on here! I’ll summarize in this ask tho bc it’s probably a lot to sort through.
So the summer before and through about October of the m5’s first year of high school, that’s when Kyle’s ed developed and wound up getting really fucking bad. Stan finding out when Ky passed out from low blood pressure and sugar at basketball practice and telling Sharon who told Sheila was the beginning of his first recovery arc, getting into an outpatient program and set up with a therapist and dietitian, having to do online school for a while so he could focus on healing, all that. And Stan, unable to stand being away from his best friend (who he “secretly” had a crush on) for very long, was over at Kyle’s house every single day, bringing him flowers, being there for meal support, doing his research on what Kyle was going through, making sure he felt supported in a way that wasn’t his mother’s overbearingness.
A big factor to how Kyle got so unwell with his eating disorder is because he’s also a type 1 diabetic, and got super reckless about not taking his insulin because he wasn’t eating, never checking his levels and just flying from the seat of his pants ignoring his already chronically ill body. Here’s why this is relevant.
So the decision is made by Kyle’s doctors and parents that he’s getting a Dexcom, about a month into recovery, so he can better deal with things and it isn’t as easy for him to skip his medication. The day he’s set to go get it, Stan’s over ofc, and Stanley Down Bad Marsh just blurts it out that he’s so happy he’s doing better and that he loves him. Not just as a super best friend, but “like, romantically and shit”. And of course Stan’s worried that 1) maybe Kyle won’t reciprocate but also 2) Kyle might not be in the place mentally for a relationship, but Kyle, who has been ALSO madly in love for years is STOKED!!! Cue mutual confessing, Sheila interrupting to take Ky to his doctors appointment, and style texting all “does this mean you’re my boyfriend now?” While Kyle’s in the waiting room and Stan is still in his room until Kyle gets back lmfao
As much as anorexia is a bitch and a half, Kyle’s recovery WAS the catalyst for OJV style getting together. Stan was fucking terrified when he realized how bad off Kyle actually was, how good he was at hiding it, and that made him really face how much he COULD NOT LOSE HIM. And he had to tell him, and they’ve been together ever since

you said maggots have a use in medicine? I’m very interested in learning what that is
I'm warning you, it's definitely not for the faint of heart. This is also related to surgical discussion.
So if discussion of wounds, insects, infection, or any of these things mixing BUGS YOU then you're gonna wanna skip this one!
CW for medical gore and maggots. (no pictures though)
Maggots of green and blue bottleflies are shoveled right into open wounds, and then wrapped up so they don't escape... or tickle. They only eat dead matter, so they're very helpful for cleaning rotten flesh out of a necrotic wound. Medically speaking, this process is called "debridement."
They also prevent infection with their anti-microbial secretions, wounds treated with the maggots of blue bottleflies have a considerably lower chance of going septic.
I talk a lot about honey being the #1 disinfectant "herb" for cats to use. That's really good for superficial cuts and the initial disinfecting. Once you're caring for the recovery of a really nasty, deep wound, maggots are a medic's best friend.
Cuts, claw scratches = Honey will do.
Rips, gorges, holes = Maggots
They're even used in modern medicine- maggot therapy is FDA approved and sometimes used in treating skin ulcers in diabetic patients.
You might turn up your nose at it-- but really, it's not much worse than the alternative. The dead flesh needs to undergo debridement somehow, better it happens naturally via some harmless little animals than chemicals or scraping it out with a knife.
You can kinda think of it like a cleaning. Like those little fishes on the reef that clean the skin of bigger fish. They only eat what you don't want.

Unveiling Vascular Ulcers: A Guide to Causes, Symptoms, and Solutions
Chronic wounds like vascular ulcers can be a significant health concern, especially for individuals with poor circulation. These slow-healing sores are more than just a skin problem—they signify deeper vascular issues that require medical attention. At Surat Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic, we aim to provide patients with the knowledge and care they need to address and prevent these ulcers.
Tumblr media
This article explores what vascular ulcers are, their warning signs, and effective ways to treat and manage them, empowering readers to make informed decisions about their health.
The Basics of Vascular Ulcers
Vascular ulcers are chronic wounds that develop due to poor blood flow in veins or arteries. They often occur on the lower legs and feet, with their severity varying based on the underlying vascular condition. Two main types of vascular ulcers exist:
Venous ulcers: Caused by damaged vein valves that lead to blood pooling in the legs.
Arterial ulcers: Result from restricted blood flow in arteries due to blockages or narrowing.
At Surat Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic, we specialise in identifying and treating these ulcers with a patient-centric approach, offering personalised care for long-term healing.
How Vascular Ulcers Affect Daily Life
Living with a vascular ulcer can significantly impact physical and emotional well-being. Common challenges include:
Pain and discomfort: Particularly with arterial ulcers, which can throb even at rest.
Restricted mobility: Swelling and pain can limit movement, reducing overall activity.
Prolonged healing times: Without proper care, these ulcers can take weeks or months to heal.
A delay in seeking vascular ulcer treatment can lead to complications such as infections, tissue loss, or even amputation. Recognising these impacts is the first step toward effective management.
Spotting the Signs of Vascular Ulcers
Early detection of vascular ulcers can make a significant difference in recovery. Warning signs include:
Discoloured skin around the wound (red, brown, or purplish hues).
Visible swelling in the legs, particularly in venous ulcers.
Non-healing sores that may ooze or scab repeatedly.
Cold, pale skin in arterial ulcers is due to reduced blood flow.
If you notice any of these signs, consult a vascular specialist for ulcers. Seeking expert help early on ensures the best possible outcomes.
Addressing the Root Causes
The development of vascular ulcers often stems from:
Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI): Damaged veins that hinder proper blood flow, leading to pressure buildup and skin breakdown.
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): Reduced arterial blood flow due to blockages or narrowing of vessels.
Diabetes: A common contributor, as elevated blood sugar damages blood vessels and delays healing.
A thorough evaluation by specialists like those at the Surat Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic helps pinpoint the exact cause, enabling tailored treatments.
Modern Approaches to Treatment
Effective vascular ulcer care combines medical expertise with advanced technologies. Treatment options include:
Wound management: Regular cleaning, debridement (removal of dead tissue), and application of appropriate dressings.
Compression therapy: Used in venous ulcers to improve blood circulation and reduce swelling.
Medication: Antibiotics for infections or medications to improve blood flow.
Surgical interventions: For severe cases, procedures like bypass surgery or vein repair may be necessary.
At Surat Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic, our focus is on holistic vascular leg ulcer treatment in Surat, offering patients cutting-edge solutions for optimal recovery.
Proactive Measures for Prevention
Preventing vascular ulcers is often easier than treating them. Steps to reduce risk include:
Maintaining healthy circulation: Regular exercise, avoiding prolonged sitting, and elevating the legs can help.
Managing chronic conditions: Controlling diabetes and high blood pressure reduces the likelihood of ulcers.
Wearing compression stockings: These improve venous circulation, particularly in individuals prone to venous ulcers.
Preventive care is a cornerstone of our approach at the Surat Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic, where we educate patients on maintaining vascular health.

Had a really productive day at Hopkins yesterday. Learned that yes, I am actually diabetic, not ore-diabetic. Also, I’ve fractured every bone in my left foot but can’t feel it, because GBS and neuropathy. Not being able to feel my feet is wild. The nurse who bandaged my foot (yes, huge diabetic foot wound there), seem amazed I was walking and not in a wheelchair. That makes me feel good because I frequently get frustrated and feel my recovery isn’t happening fast enough. Got approved for Ozempic, should be starting that next week. Had a really great appointment with the endocrinologist, so I don’t have to go back down to Hopkins tomorrow for that appointment. Got a boot for my foot, which is supposed to take pressure off my roe so it can heal properly and not turn into me losing my foot. Always a good thing, but boy, challenging to learn how to walk in that when my left leg is now higher than my right. The visit with the wound doctor was hilarious when he and his students were incredulous that I didn’t know I had broken my foot (probably feet, but we only stayed my left) multiple times and had no idea. When I say “I can’t feel my feet at all,” I mean it. 😂
Anyway, while the news wasn’t great, it was answers, I have a plan for more recovery and PT and it was overall very productive day at the hospital.

This is kind of long and it's me getting things out. Scroll past if you don't want to read about medical stuff, or declining health of aging parents, or failures of the medical system, or the feeling of personal failures in the face of all of this.
My mom isn't doing well.
I've been living with her for three years now, after losing my job during the pandemic. She had recently been diagnosed with end stage renal failure and needed dialysis three days a week, which really tired her out, so she needed help, and I didn't have a job. So I've been her caregiver for that time. Helping with shopping and meals and appointments and so on. August 1st, she had a stroke, primarily affecting the language centers of her brain, and making speech difficult. She seemed okay when I got up that day but by the time I did my morning routine (teeth brushing etc) she wasn't talking properly and we went to the nearest ER. Since then she's been in neuro ICU, post-stroke rehab, and a short-term care center, for therapy and recovery. Except she was fighting some terrible lower back pain that was making it very difficult for her to do her PT, then getting to the point she was bedridden.
Myself, and her brother and sister-in-law (who are our neighbors), agitated for diagnostics of what was going on with her back pain. They did an xray with "no significant findings" and prescribed oxycodone for pain management. We tried to get a CT scan or MRI or something like that for her and nothing happened, as she was transferred from rehabilitation to short-term care, and short-term care just kept up the narcotics. Well. Now she's in ICU again. CT scan, MRI, and bloodwork revealed that she has osteomyelitis of the lumbar vertebrae -- an infection in the bone/bone marrow of her lower back. There's actually an abcess there in her spine. That's what was causing the hideous pain. Osteomyelitis in the spine has a roughly 20% mortality rate. And Mom just isn't very healthy to begin with. She's a breast cancer survivor with osteoporosis as a result of her treatment. She has diabetes, with that effect on wound healing. She has the aforementioned end stage renal failure, so her kidneys don't work and her blood has to be filtered artificially three times a week. She has atherosclerosis (which may have caused the stroke) and has a stent in her heart, plus an artificial heart valve.
The doctors have said they don't like the look of the infection, and they don't feel she's a candidate for surgery to remove it, so it's going to be treated via antibiotics delivered via PICC for the next 6 weeks. But, it's sort of hanging there, that there's a solid chance she doesn't make it through this. And I just can't stop feeling as if I failed her, by not following through with the additional diagnostics, by not making myself such a pain in the ass that they did it to get me to shut up, and maybe found it sooner. Or that maybe I didn't even catch the stroke soon enough. Or who knows, maybe insurance denied the CT scan, or something like that. Just, that I'm supposed to be her caregiver, and yet, look. I don't know what I'm saying here other than just getting all of this out somewhere. But it sucks. The healthcare system sucks, insurance sucks, all of this sucks, and I just want my Mom.

I wonder how much skilled labor like doctors, engineers, plumbers, electricians, etc. were lost during the Dawn of Quirks and the years afterwards. Obviously, there were enough that survive and had the knowledge so that the basic modern living can continue but this also depends on when the means of production in factory came back online and operational. Doctors and nurses, for example, would be capable of diagnosing, snitching and cleaning up basic wounds and fixing broking bones but would be incapable of doing more complicated surgery like hip replacement, organ transplant and eye surgeries. There's the basic stuff but they can't do the more complicated ones due to lack of resources and increased likelihood of dying as people will flood the hospitals for help and resources.
On the topic on the means of productions, I wonder how many people die because materials were not being exported or stored probably, on top of caregivers giving up their duties to care. Diabetic or dialysis patients would not have the resources to deal with their conditions and will die off pretty quick. Auto-immune people are forced to adapt to new conditions that are likely to kill them, especially since sanitary workers are not going to do their jobs. The mental health crisis would flat out get worst across the globe. Unless you were already surviving in a country without the basic necessities for certain conditions, Quirks would literally make this time "Only the Strongest ones can live" as you would lost the means to take care of the no-longer-treatable mortal condition.
We've never been told the casualties from before All Might's Era of Peace, but we know that he described people being afraid to leave their homes, and that would've been after the situation stabilized. It's safe to say that it was bad.
However, regarding survival, I disagree to an extent. I do think that it was probably impossible or nigh-impossible to get high-quality medical care for presumably decades, but I don't necessarily think that was a death sentence. I doubt many of the people who survived made anything resembling a complete recovery, but that doesn't necessarily mean they died--only that someone had to take care of them.

the update regarding my father . . .
trigger warnings regarding this section : amputation , infection , death , injury / wounds , surgery , health , hospitals
he's still in the hospital . has been since valentine's day . he's a disabled diabetic so his cuts either take longer to heal or never heal at all and has been struggling for years with various doctors and nurses in regards to maintaining his health and seeing that those wounds don't get any worse . but the past few years it has gotten worse . and it got to a point where he was screaming and crying out 24/7 in pain , even into the nights . ( cue my not sleeping because of it and why i had been on the slower side of things where commissions were involved ; my brain was fried . ) but because of these things not showing up in blood tests , his doctor didn't know what was going on .
on valentine's day , it got to a point where the pain was so severe that even my stubborn father , who avoids hospitals at all costs , let us call an ambulance for him . it's bad . he has a bacterial infection that ate his flesh and then worked its way into his bones . he had surgery last friday to remove dead skin , a procedure that was ( false hope on the doctor's part to give my father ) in hopes supposed to give the bones a chance to heal . but his surgeon told my dad that while the bones are supposed to be rock hard , his were like styrofoam and completely crumbled to the touch . the bones are dead , there's no saving them .
he has to have both of his legs amputated and if he doesn't have the surgery , the infection will make its way into his blood stream and he'll be dead in days . they currently have him on the strongest antibiotics they can provide for him and they're waiting on the swelling to go down from the last surgery , so that could be six weeks alone before he can have the surgery; where they'll have to do one amputation at a time because it'll be too much on his heart to do at once .
how long my father will be in this hospital and what him being in the hospital means for myself and my family . . .
trigger warnings regarding this section : financial struggles , amputation
according to his doctors , it may be six months to a year before he's allowed to come home . but with all the different timelines we're getting thrown at us from different doctors and nurses , my mom seems to think it'll be more towards two years with multiple surgeries and recovery times . and that's if he ever gets to . we live on the second floor , so there's a heavy chance he might not get to come home again . though , we have an unscheduled visit with someone from the hospital to determine if our apartment is suitable for him to come home to . fingers crossed .
they're currently in plans to send him to a rehabilitation center for eight weeks to watch and make sure the infection doesn't spread while they give him his antibiotics and wait for the swelling of the previous surgery to subside . after that , he'll be sent back to the hospital for the first amputation and give it some time to heal before he's sent back to the rehabilitation center until he's physically strong enough for the second amputation . after both amputations , he'll be set yet again back to rehabilitation for months until he heals and relearns everything in a new way . i have no idea why the back and forth has to happen but it's stressing us out .
what this means for my family ? with my dad in the hospital and rehabilitation centers , we lose 80% of our rent income , with no way to get it back . easily put : me , my mom , and sister will be homeless with no family or friends to stay with , no food , you get the gist .
my situation in general has changed and so have my prices ( not by much ) . . .
trigger warnings regarding this section : financial struggles
i used to be able to get by with saving my money for myself , to get out of here but i can't avoid it anymore . i have to start giving commission funds towards rent , bills , food , etc . . . especially since , with everything going on , we're already really behind on rent and bills / can't make up the difference of what was lost .
given the fact that not only my family's but also my situation has changed , i had to raise my prices by a little bit . ( also because n.etflix changed their password sharing policies and i now have to pay for my own account in order to continue those commissions ) they didn't go up by much ; i was originally going to do them up by five but i couldn't see myself raising them that much , so i didn't do that . even the littlest bit adds up .
if you're currently one of my commission slots , you get the old pricing . any new commission orders received will be under the new pricing as of today 2/26/2023 .
all pricing changes were made to the pricing page , listed on my blog .
commissions . . .
trigger warnings regarding this section : none
i am accepting commissions orders now more than ever and probably won't cap them for the time being . i just , please , ask for your patience as i work through them . if you're not placing an order in fear that i'll become overwhelmed , don't even worry about that . feel free to place it .
requests . . .
trigger warnings regarding this section : none
i usually don't do this but i am taking base icon requests to add to my payhip and ko-fi shops for sale . if you have any requests for me to add to my shop , please drop them in my inbox over at @tutorgirlrph so that i don't get them confused with the commissions here , thank you !
donations . . .
trigger warnings regarding this section : financial struggles
my friend once told me that he knows it's hard to ask for help but sometimes we need to let people in , suck up our pride , and ask for help . because sometimes it is okay to ask for help and to let people help . so i guess , for once , this is me saying i really need the help . i'm going to link my friend's paypal ( funds go directly to me from there ) and my ko-fi account below in hopes that if someone sees this and is in a position where they can help me and my family out , they can . if you aren't in a position where you can help , please don't worry . spreading the word can help a lot more than you think .
paypal : paypal.me/natashac93 ko-fi : https://ko-fi.com/haydennoelle
thank you in advance to those who help in any possible way .

Hey everyone! Six months ago, I gave birth to my son.
I say give birth; what actually happened is I spent the last ten weeks of my pregnancy unable to stand for more than thirty minutes at a time, wetting myself every ten minutes and throwing up. I also had to sleep on the sofa as it was the only way I could comfortably rest. I was then informed by several medical professionals that I had gestational diabetes, my baby was abnormally large and that I had to be induced or we both might die.
So a week before my due date, my husband and I get to hospital, I have to wait for several hours before they give me the damn pessary while sharing a room with the loudest motherfuckers on the planet. Another twenty four hours go by and the induction has formally started and I get moved to the delivery suite. Forty more hours of the worse pain I have ever had -induction labour is no joke kids- they tell me that because I haven't progressed the way I should have, I need an emergency c-section.
So my husband and I are whisked over to surgery where I get paralysed everywhere below my armpits and have to be turned over by two nurses to vomit. They then cut me open and get my baby out, I have that magical moment you see on tv where the mother hears the baby cry for first time and they pop this beautiful wiggly creature on my chest. Then they send the baby and my husband away while I get stitched up and it takes forever.
Finally, I'm reunited with my family, my parents take a load of photos, my mum cries and I'm still paralysed and naked and have been awake for over seventy two hours.
I get moved to recovery ward, where over the next two days I will bleed profusely from my vagina, have a breakdown because I can't nurse properly and get pooped on twice.
The following week, my dressing will have to be changed twice because it was improperly applied, my wound will get infected and I will be in so much pain I will literally lie there screaming. It will also take me three weeks to have a poo.
Over the next six months while my son- the light of my life, the centre of my universe- is happy, healthy and massive, I have a ruined back, cracked nipples, go four days a time without showers and I'm running on cups of tea and four hours of sleep.
I'm also battling post partum depression, anxiety and the constant guilty knowledge that I'm lucky to live in a country where I can be on paid maternity leave since March, we're not drowning in hospital bills and if something had gone wrong during pregnancy I would have been able to get the help I needed.
All that is to say, the one thing that I really needed throughout? That would have made everything better?
Is definately a fucking terf being weird about my pronouns.
giving birth sucks tbh. not only do you and the baby you’re birthing almost die, usually you shit yourself and often you tear your taint. then you have to push an organ out of your body (placenta) and if even a little of that remains in your body, you can hemorrhage to death or develop an infection that essentially rots your body from the inside out. even if you had a relatively “easy birth”, you bleed for weeks on end. even after that stops, your body and brain is changed for the rest of your life, the pregnancy leeched minerals from your bones, that can cause osteoporosis later. minor urinary incontinence is not uncommon, brain scans of people who gave birth show permanent changes in their brain, you’re never quite the same.
I say all of this not to say giving birth is disgusting but it is a harrowing and visceral experience. society downplays how fucking awful it is and makes it out to be a ~magical~ experience but it isn’t a magical transformative experience for everyone. it can be an extremely traumatic experience for someone who wanted to carry a pregnancy to term, much more so for someone who did not want to be pregnant in the first place or someone who knows their baby won’t survive the birth. anyway, abortion is a right. pregnancy and birth aren’t just inconvenient, it’s fucking awful.

Wound Care dressing – Get help from a Professional Nurse
The skin, as the largest organ of the human body, serves as our primary defense mechanism and accounts for 16% of our body weight. This dynamic organ is constantly exposed to change, damage, and healing. When an injury occurs, or surgery is performed, timely and professional care for wound dressing becomes critical to ensure proper healing and to prevent complications. Surgical wounds, in particular, require specialized attention to facilitate recovery and protect the affected area from infections or further harm.
Patients discharged to their homes after surgery often require continuous care that matches the expertise of hospital staff. This is where the assistance of a professional nurse for wound care at home becomes essential. With their training and experience, they ensure proper wound dressing at home, reducing the risk of infections and speeding up the healing process.
Tumblr media
Guidelines for Surgical Wound Care at Home:
Cleanliness is Key:
Maintaining cleanliness around a wound is critical to prevent infections. In home nursing services for wound care, both the patient and the caregiver must adhere to stringent hygiene standards. Washing hands thoroughly with a sterilizer before and after wound care procedures is the first step in ensuring safety.
Timely Dressing Changes:
Leaving an old dressing on for too long can lead to complications. A nurse for wound dressing at home ensures that dressings are changed regularly, following the prescribed schedule and using the recommended wound wash and medications. This prevents contamination and promotes faster healing.
Proper Handling of Dressings:
A trained wound care nurse at home knows how to carefully remove old dressings and apply new ones without causing unnecessary pain or disrupting the healing process. Professional handling minimizes the risk of introducing bacteria and ensures the wound remains protected.
The Importance of Expert Wound Care at Home
Effective wound care is not just about changing a bandage; it involves selecting the right dressing materials and techniques based on the type, location, and severity of the wound. Wound care nursing services focus on applying the correct dressings that are in direct contact with the wound, unlike bandages that simply secure the dressing in place.

Chronic Diseases and Oral Health11
Chronic diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and others significantly impact daily life and oral health. Let’s break this down:
Diabetes and Oral Health
Diabetes, both Type 1 and Type 2, can profoundly affect oral health due to its influence on blood sugar levels and systemic inflammation.
Effects on Oral Health:
1. Gum Disease (Periodontitis):
High blood sugar levels can make it harder for the body to fight infections, increasing the risk of gum inflammation and infection.
Advanced gum disease can further raise blood sugar levels, creating a vicious cycle.
2. Dry Mouth (Xerostomia):
Reduced saliva production due to diabetes can lead to dry mouth, which increases the risk of tooth decay, oral infections, and difficulty chewing or swallowing.
3. Slow Healing:
Diabetes delays wound healing, making recovery from oral surgery or gum treatments slower and increasing the risk of post-treatment infections.
4. Fungal Infections:
High blood sugar can encourage the growth of fungi like Candida albicans, leading to oral thrush.
5. Tooth Decay:
Increased glucose in saliva can foster bacterial growth, contributing to a higher risk of cavities.
Other Chronic Diseases and Oral Health
1. Cardiovascular Disease:
There’s a strong link between heart disease and periodontal disease. Chronic inflammation in the gums can contribute to systemic inflammation, impacting heart health.
Certain medications for cardiovascular conditions can cause dry mouth or gum overgrowth.
2. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD):
CKD can cause bad breath (ammonia-like smell) and affect taste perception.
It’s often associated with bone loss, which can weaken the jawbone and teeth.
3. Osteoporosis:
Can weaken the bones that support teeth, leading to tooth loss or periodontal issues.
4. Cancer and Chemotherapy:
Treatments for cancer can cause dry mouth, mucositis (painful inflammation of the mucous membrane), and increased susceptibility to infections.
Impact on Daily Life
1. Dietary Challenges:
Diabetics and people with chronic diseases often need to modify their diets, which may affect oral health. For example, avoiding certain foods may result in nutrient deficiencies that weaken teeth and gums.
2. Energy Levels:
Chronic fatigue or lack of energy can make maintaining oral hygiene routines challenging.
3. Medication Side Effects:
Many medications cause dry mouth, gum overgrowth, or increased bleeding, impacting daily comfort and oral health.
4. Mental Health:
Chronic diseases can lead to stress or depression, which can cause neglect of oral hygiene practices.
Maintaining Oral Health with Chronic Diseases
1. Regular Dental Visits:
Visit your dentist every 3-6 months for cleanings and check-ups.
Communicate your medical history and medication use.
2. Oral Hygiene:
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily.
Use a fluoride mouthwash to strengthen enamel if dry mouth is a problem.
3. Control Chronic Conditions:
For diabetics, maintaining blood sugar levels within target ranges is crucial for oral health.
Follow your doctor’s advice for managing your condition.
4. Healthy Diet:
Include foods rich in vitamins A, C, D, and calcium for gum and tooth health.
Limit sugary or acidic foods and drinks.
5. Stay Hydrated:
Drink plenty of water to combat dry mouth and rinse away food particles.
6. Special Products:
Use saliva substitutes or moisturizing sprays for dry mouth.
Sugar-free gum or lozenges can stimulate saliva production.
Conclusion
Chronic diseases, including diabetes, require vigilant attention to oral health because the mouth is closely connected to overall health. By managing the chronic condition and maintaining a robust oral hygiene routine, individuals can minimize the impact on their teeth and gums and improve their quality of life.
Thank you for reading.

Lifestyle Tips Beyond Diet
Rest: Rest is essential for recovery. Foods that promote relaxation, such as chamomile tea or warm milk, can also improve sleep quality.
Hygiene: Maintain strict hygiene while preparing food to prevent secondary infections during the recovery phase.

Asian Diets: Congee, a rice porridge, is consumed for its soothing qualities and easy digestion.
When to Seek Medical Help
While a balanced diet can aid recovery, it’s important to seek medical help if:
Symptoms worsen, such as a fever that doesn’t subside.
Dehydration sets in (dry mouth, dark-coloured urine).
If nutritional needs are not being met due to lack of appetite or inability to eat.
In severe cases, supplements or intravenous nutrition may be required, particularly for vulnerable groups such as the elderly or those with underlying health conditions.
By incorporating these dietary recommendations and lifestyle tips, you can enhance the healing process during chickenpox and make the recovery journey smoother. Remember to always consult your doctor or healthcare provider if symptoms worsen or if you have specific dietary concerns.

Elevating Home Care Services in Ghaziabad with Skilled Nurses
Tumblr media
Modern, fast-moving world care for loved ones at home demands compassion, professionalism, and reliability. Cities like Ghaziabad, which thrive due to their vibrant communities, have seen a growing demand for high-quality home care services. Care Health Nurses has made a difference in the delivery of this much-needed support with tailor-made services provided by the most skilled nurses specializing in home care. It doesn't just free the burden from the families, but also provides medical treatment at home. This has ensured patients of quality professional care while under their own roofs.
The home care concept is increasingly catching up in Ghaziabad. More and more families are coming to know of the advantages of tailored care; it's thus not surprising that home care in Ghaziabad forms a part of modern medical facilities. The more personal character of hospital admissions finds home care inculcating the known friendly and caring atmosphere. Home care, in so far as it pertains to old age care, post surgery recuperation, or other chronic diseases, the skilled presence of home care trained nurses can bridge the link that there must exist with quality healthcare and emotional welfare. Care Health Nurses boasts of service that meets and surpasses this diverse mix of needs in the light of dedication and care.
Recovery is a highly individualized process, and what every patient needs is unique. This is the place where Care Health Nurses truly excel. Their organization of skilled nurses for home care understands that medical illnesses require not only clinical sophistication but also emotional support. Services include wound care up to medication administration. Those who have undergone surgery get detailed monitoring and assistance, and the elderly get tender loving care to help them cope with their daily routine. Chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension require maintenance, so the personalized plans of Care Health Nurses provide for stability and comfort.
For many families, the desire to maintain normalcy inspires the decision to opt for home care services in Ghaziabad. Other than providing comfort, an environment allows psychological and mental security. This aspect becomes highly significant in the process of healing, especially to patients facing long-term health issues. The services at Care Health Nurses are strategically planned to seamlessly blend with the lives of patients to treat health issues more as a natural part of living instead of an interruption to it. This method promotes the restoration of independence for patients while upholding their connections with their loved ones.

Another notable feature of home care services in Ghaziabad is the ability to handle different kinds of healthcare requirements. One such type of service that Care Health Nurses provides is postdelivery care. In most cases, women after delivery face physical and emotionally trying conditions. They can be guided and counselled by professionals to take proper care of their babies during this transition period without hassle. Likewise, physiotherapy and occupational therapy rehabilitations are patient-tailored for better recovery and mobilization.
This shift toward home care services in Ghaziabad is a reflection of changing priorities in the healthcare sector. Patients and their families increasingly look towards alternatives that ensure dignity, convenience, and personalized care. The offerings provided by Care Health Nurses not only fulfill these expectations but also surpass them. Through the promotion of a holistic approach to health and wellness, they fundamentally redefine the concept of caring for an individual in a home environment.
Selecting Care Health Nurses signifies the selection of a partner who comprehends the importance of trust and dependability. Their committed team of home care nurses, by specialization in their area, ensures a professional approach coupled with the empathetic element so pivotal in impacting patient experiences. Their services whether are required to manage a chronic condition, help them through the process of recovery or serve them in end of life care, always result in keeping the patient feeling comfortable and dignified. With a commitment to excellence and a passionate zeal for care-giving, Care Health Nurses is transforming the way health care is delivered in Ghaziabad.
