إيه المقصود بـ
Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS)?

⚕️ Short Bowel Syndrome is a condition where a person has a significantly reduced small intestine due to surgery or disease.
This loss of intestine limits nutrient absorption, leading to various digestive challenges.

🍽️ Causes of SBS
It can occur after surgery to remove parts of the small intestine.
Other causes include congenital defects, Crohn's disease, or trauma to the intestine.

💡 Symptoms of SBS
Common symptoms are diarrhea, malnutrition, dehydration, and weight loss.
People with SBS may also experience fatigue and difficulty absorbing vitamins and minerals.

💉 Treatment Options
Treatment often involves dietary changes, such as eating small meals frequently.
In severe cases, parenteral nutrition (IV feeding) or medications may be needed.

🧑‍⚕️ Living with SBS
People with SBS need to monitor their health closely with regular medical check-ups.
Managing fluid intake and getting proper nutrients are key to improving quality of life.

إيه المقصود بـ
Diabetes plate diet? 🍽️

🟢 Vegetables First:
Fill half your plate with non-starchy vegetables.
These include spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, or cucumbers.
They are low in carbs and high in fiber, which helps control blood sugar.

🍗 Protein Portion:
Reserve a quarter of your plate for lean protein.
Examples include grilled chicken, fish, tofu, eggs, or legumes.
Protein helps with satiety and prevents blood sugar spikes.

🍞 Healthy Carbs:
Dedicate the last quarter of your plate to healthy carbohydrates.
Choose whole grains, sweet potatoes, beans, or brown rice.
Avoid refined carbs like white bread or sugary snacks.

🛢️ Healthy Fats:
Add a small portion of healthy fats to your plate.
Avocado, nuts, seeds, or olive oil are great options.
They improve heart health and stabilize blood sugar.

💧 Stay Hydrated:
Drink water or unsweetened beverages alongside your meal.
Avoid sugary drinks, including sodas and fruit juices.
Herbal teas or infused water can be refreshing alternatives.

📏 Portion Control:
Use smaller plates to manage portion sizes effectively.
Eating slowly helps prevent overeating and supports digestion.
Remember, moderation is key to maintaining stable blood sugar.

ليه تحليل HBA1c مش بيستخدم في الحمل؟

🌟 Accuracy Issues:
HbA1c reflects the average blood glucose levels over 2-3 months, but pregnancy involves rapid metabolic and hormonal changes, making it less accurate for tracking short-term glucose fluctuations.

🩺 Physiological Changes:
During pregnancy, factors like increased red blood cell turnover reduce the lifespan of red blood cells, potentially lowering HbA1c levels and providing misleading results.

🚼 Limited Sensitivity:
HbA1c may not detect short-term glucose abnormalities like postprandial hyperglycemia, which is crucial for identifying and managing gestational diabetes.

⏳ Timing Limitations:
Early pregnancy HbA1c results reflect pre-pregnancy glucose control, not the critical glucose trends that develop during the second and third trimesters.

📉 Alternative Tools:
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) or oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) are more effective for evaluating glucose levels and detecting gestational diabetes during pregnancy.
