As the Centre imposed restrictions are being eased gradually, normal life in green zones is trying to be redefined amid lockdown with a focus being on the lives and their livelihood.

Several businesses have begun planning their next steps on the basis of relaxations offered by respective state govt. While everyone is trying to come back to normal, the word “normal” has gained a new definition itself. The aim of businesses and companies is now to cope up with the situation and survive in this global recession.

Employees, on the other hand, can help the nation and society by practicing safety guidelines and measures. This will not only ensure their personal safety but other safety also.

We, Datt Medi products, introduce some of such checklist points to follow during the upcoming surge while you are out of your homes in this COVID-19 era.

CHECKLIST WHILE LEAVING YOUR HOUSE
– Do not forget to carry your sanitizer.
– Sanitize your vehicle also especially the areas you are going to make physical
contact with.
– Make sure to carry all your necessary documents, driving license, travel passes, etc.

CHECKLIST WHILE TRAVELLING
– Use disposable masks and gloves while traveling.
– Avoid eating outside food.
– Avoid touching your face.
– Do not make physical contact with other people.
– Be kind to authorities on your way.
After all, they are also humans and performing their duties for your safety.

CHECKLIST WHILE IN OFFICE
– Sanitize your valuables like laptops and mobile. Wipe them with disinfectant tissues and dispose off them immediately
– Wash your hands-on regular intervals with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
(For more details on Handwashing technique, you can read our previous blog.)
– Keep your premises clean. Sanitize your workstation with disinfectant wipes to ensure your safety and reduce the spread of contamination.  Immediately wash your hands or sanitize them after doing so.
– Avoid touching face and making physical contact with others. Use face protection shields and masks.
– Keep practicing Social Distancing norms, even during lunch hours maintain
an advisable distance with fellow colleagues.
– Avoid gathering or crowding in common areas and the “potential” hotspot points like office entrances, smoking areas, canteens, restrooms, etc.
– Avoid hard copies of any documents received from
outside, if possible. Digitalization is your key during this time.
– Ensure no sharing of your workstations to the extent possible.
– Eat a good healthy diet to maintain strong immunity.

CHECKLIST WHILE RETURNED HOME
– Change your clothes immediately and dip them in hot water for some time before washing.
– Check your temperature.
– Keep track of symptoms every day.
– Have a good and healthy diet. You can drink turmeric latte milk at night. It is not only anti-inflammatory but also has anti-infective properties also. In addition, it builds your inner core too.

Apart from these, try observing Hygiene Etiquettes and avoid traveling if you see any symptoms or have a temperature. You may risk not only your life but also the life of the others.

 At the end, we appeal everybody to ensure health/safety policies along with precautionary measures, as recommended by the Centre. You can follow us at Dattmediproducts to stay updated and receive more health-related information.

Chronic Pain Living Better Every Day

Chronic pain is a pervasive issue that affects millions of individuals worldwide, significantly altering their daily lives and overall well-being. Unlike acute pain, which serves as a signal of injury or illness and typically subsides with treatment, chronic pain persists for weeks, months, or even years. This relentless discomfort can arise from various conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, and nerve damage. The impact of chronic pain extends beyond the physical realm, often leading to emotional distress and reduced quality of life.

In this blog, we will delve into effective strategies for managing chronic pain, focusing on coping techniques, nutrition, emotional well-being, and lifestyle adaptations. By understanding and addressing the multifaceted nature of chronic pain, individuals can improve their daily lives and enhance their overall health.

Coping Strategies and Techniques:

Managing chronic pain involves various coping mechanisms. Mindfulness and relaxation techniques, such as meditation and progressive muscle relaxation, can help reduce pain perception. Breathing exercises, like deep breathing or diaphragmatic breathing, also provide relief. Regular physical activity, tailored to your condition, can improve flexibility and strength, reducing pain over time. Activities such as swimming, walking, and yoga are often recommended for their low-impact benefits.

Nutrition and Diet:

Nutrition plays a vital role in managing inflammation and pain. Anti-inflammatory foods, such as leafy greens, fatty fish, nuts, seeds, and berries, can help alleviate symptoms. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish and flaxseeds, are particularly beneficial. Conversely, avoiding processed foods, sugary snacks, and excessive caffeine is crucial as they can exacerbate inflammation and pain. Staying hydrated and maintaining a balanced diet support overall health and pain management.

Emotional Well-being:

Chronic pain takes an emotional toll, often leading to anxiety, depression, and stress. Supporting mental health through therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), can be effective. CBT helps in changing negative thought patterns and developing coping strategies. Seeking social support from friends, family, or support groups can provide comfort and understanding. Engaging in hobbies, practicing mindfulness, and using relaxation techniques can help manage stress and improve emotional resilience.

Adapting Daily Life:

Adapting daily routines can enhance quality of life. Using assistive devices like ergonomic furniture, mobility aids, and adaptive tools can make daily tasks easier and more comfortable. Prioritizing rest and pacing activities throughout the day can prevent flare-ups and manage energy levels. Organizing your environment to minimize unnecessary strain and setting realistic goals for activities can help maintain a balance between activity and rest.

By understanding chronic pain and implementing these strategies, you can live a more fulfilling life despite the challenges. Managing chronic pain requires a holistic approach that addresses physical, emotional, and lifestyle factors, empowering you to live better every day.

Wound Care in Diabetes

Diabetes significantly increases the risk of developing chronic wounds, particularly foot ulcers. Effective wound care is crucial for preventing complications and promoting healing in diabetic patients. In this blog, you will explore the nature of diabetic wounds, prevention techniques, and management strategies to help healthcare professionals and patients navigate these challenges.

Understanding Diabetic Wounds

Diabetic wounds, especially foot ulcers, are common complications resulting from prolonged high blood sugar levels. These wounds often develop due to neuropathy (nerve damage) and peripheral arterial disease, which impair sensation and blood flow. Consequently, minor injuries can go unnoticed and progress into serious ulcers. Left untreated, these ulcers can lead to severe infections and, in extreme cases, amputations.

1. Prevention Techniques for Diabetic Ulcers:

Preventing diabetic ulcers is essential to reduce the risk of severe complications. Here are some effective prevention strategies.

2. Regular Foot Inspections: 

Diabetic patients should inspect their feet (or have someone inspect it) on a daily basis for cuts, blisters, redness, or swelling. Early detection of potential issues can prevent minor problems from becoming serious ulcers.

3. Proper Footwear: 

  • Wearing well-fitting shoes and socks designed for diabetics can prevent pressure points and reduce the risk of injuries. 
  • Avoid wearing tight stockings or socks with elastic tops as they can reduce blood flow.
  • Avoid extreme hot or cold temperatures.
  • Do not treat corn or calluses on your own. 
  • Avoiding barefoot walking, even at home, is crucial.

4. Good Hygiene: 

Keeping feet clean and dry is essential. Patients should wash their feet daily with mild soap and water, then dry them thoroughly, especially between the toes.

5. Blood Sugar Control: 

Maintaining optimal blood sugar levels through diet, exercise, and medication can significantly reduce the risk of neuropathy and poor circulation, which contribute to ulcer formation.

6. Regular Medical Foot Check-Ups: 

Routine visits to a healthcare provider or a podiatrist for foot exams can help identify and address problems early.

7. Management Strategies for Diabetic Patients:

When ulcers do occur, effective management is vital to promote healing and prevent complications.

Here are some key strategies:

  • Wound Cleaning and Dressing: Keeping the ulcer clean and protected is essential. Cleaning the wound with a saline solution and using appropriate dressings, such as those provided by DMP Velvert®, can create an optimal healing environment. It provides a barrier to external contaminants, aids absorption of exudates and accelerates wound healing.
  • Debridement: Removing dead tissue from the wound (debridement) can accelerate the healing process. This procedure should be performed by a healthcare professional.
  • Pressure Offloading: Reducing pressure on the affected area is crucial. Patients may need special footwear, casts, or braces to alleviate pressure on the ulcer. Foot or mobility exercises also help in decreasing peak pressure, increasing foot and ankle range of motion and it improves neuropathy symptoms.
  • Infection Control: Monitoring for signs of infection and using antibiotics when necessary is critical. Proper wound care products, like Velvert®, which offer antimicrobial properties, can help prevent infections.
  • Blood Flow Improvement: Enhancing blood circulation through medical treatments or lifestyle changes can aid in the healing process. This might include medications, physical therapy, or surgical interventions. Revascularization results in increased tissue perfusion, which can further reduce amputation rates.
Diabetic ulcers are a serious complication of diabetes, but with proper prevention and management strategies, their impact can be significantly reduced. Regular foot inspections, good hygiene, appropriate footwear, and effective blood sugar control are key preventive measures. When ulcers do develop, it is best to catch them in the early stages when they are small, products combined with professional medical care, can promote healing and prevent complications.

At Datt Mediproducts, we offer Velvert®, an advanced wound care solution designed to aid in the management of diabetic ulcers. Velvert® dressings are crafted to provide superior moisture retention and protection, creating an optimal environment for wound healing. They also incorporate antimicrobial properties to reduce the risk of infection, which is crucial for diabetic patients. Velvert® is easy to apply and remove, ensuring minimal discomfort for patients.
