News you can use

  

Salaam Alaikum,

 

We have embarked on this new initiative to send our medical committee newsletter PULSE directly to you. We hope to contact you regularly.

 

Besides health related information, you will be able to ask questions to a male and female doctor via email link in the newsletter and we hope to respond back within a week!

 

Suggestions are welcome as well. This platform will also be used to announce any health related activities planned by Medical Committee (MC) or Executive Committee (EC).

 

Please use MC members for more information but never for emergencies.

 

If you want to opt out of receiving this newsletter, you can do so by clicking unsubscribe button at the bottom of this newsletter but we hope that the newsletter and the medical committee will become a good source education.

 

Thank you.

Medical Committee.

Diabetics on Metformin (Glucophage)

 

B12 deficiency is twice common in diabetics on metformin then those diabetic not on metformin. Common signs of B12 deficiency are rarely seen. Over the counter  supplements of multivitamins do not contain enough B12 to overcome this deficiency. It is recommended that B12 500 to 1000 microgram should be taken by diabetics on metformin. Please consult your doctor.
New recommendation for Whooping cough (pertussis)vaccine
 
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, a division of the (CDC) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is recommending that ALL ADULTS get immunized against pertussis (whooping cough). The goal of the expanded recommendation is to prevent teenagers and adults from spreading the disease to infants. In 2010, California experienced a pertussis outbreak that infected 9000 people and resulted in 10 infant deaths. The adult vaccine combines tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis (Tdap). Please consult your doctor.
