What are the best products to help manage Diabetes?

 

This week I want to talk about diabetes and how to manage the condition. Fortunately, with some additional care and attention, diabetes can be effectively managed all year long. As pharmacists, at Healthcare4all we are providers of diabetes products and can give advice on managing diabetes effectively.

 

 

Avoid catching colds and flu

According to  Diabetes.co.uk, due to the difficulties it can create with diabetes management, people with diabetes are generally at a greater risk in they catch flu. One potentially dangerous complication of flu can be the onset of pneumonia, which people with diabetes are more at risk from developing compared to those without diabetes.

It is therefore important that if you have diabetes you try and stave off colds and flu all year round.

 

Washing your hands

Washing your hands often and using sanitisers can help ward off the germs associated with colds and flu. Getting plenty of rest and having the flu vaccine can help avoid people from getting the flu.

 

Keep warm

The Mayo Clinic advises that people with diabetes stay warm, and keep their feet protected and warm by wearing comfortable shoes and socks to help keep circulation problems at bay.

 

Eat well and exercise

Try and stay healthy throughout the winter by eating well. Have a well-balanced diet that comprises of plenty of fruit, vegetables, protein and grains.

Taking regular exercise can also help you stay fit to ward off potentially harmful illnesses.

 

Diabetes products

Diabetes monitoring with products such as a diabetes monitor and a diabetes meter is extremely important during the winter. Such products enable diabetics to test, monitor and control their blood sugar levels.

Healthcare4all has a range of diabetes monitoring products and equipment for sale.

The Accu-Chek Mobile system makes blood glucose monitoring easier & more convenient, and allows you to test without inserting or disposing of strips

Its time to show your Cold Sore The Door!

Are you searching for the best cold sore remedies? Well, HealthCare4All has done the research for you!

This week I want to talk about an amazing NHS Recommended, CE & FDA approved product we found for the treatment of cold sores. Its called the VIRULITE COLD SORE MACHINE and as soon as I listed it on amazon the 5 out of 5 reviews started rolling in!

What is it Virulite and how does it work?

 

 

1. Original Cold Sore machine made by Virulite

2. VCS1 Stops Cold Sores in their tracks when used at the first sign

3. Helps your skin to defend against the attack of the Herpes simplex virus

4. Uses Passive light invisible to the naked eye. Stimulating your body into reacting to the Cold Sore virus

5. Proven to work over and over. In some cases, the use of this machine prevents future attacks

6. Its developers claim that it  heals cold sores twice as quickly as using an antiviral cream.

7. Virulite is thought to increase the immune response to the virus

Why we like The Virulite Cold Sore Machine so much!

It is incredibly reliable and lasts for years. The only maintenance required is an occasional battery change.

At my pharmacy I see a lot of customers that are suffering with Cold sores and they get very frustrated with the current treatment options such as aciclovir (Zovirax) cream. The reason being that they are not very effective and in order to have any relief you have to catch the cold sore early. Unfortunately once you have the virus you have it for life as Cold Sores recur.

Virulite is different- it works by emitting invisible light which stimulates local immune response. It has NO harmful side effects and unlike the creams it works at any stage of sore.

Virulite has been approved by the NHS some years ago, and is also FDA approved which needed lots of evidence to show it really works.

The only downside about the machine is the cost. At £99.98 & FREE Delivery it is not cheap! However the Virulite is a very high quality product that is recommended by the NHS and proven to be Much more effective than creams for the treatment of cold sores. Also, we feel it is worth the money as the evidence has shown that the device also reduces the recurrence of cold sores.

 

 

How to use the Virulite Cold Sore Machine

The device should ideally be used as soon as the customer feels the “tingle” indicating that a cold sore is about to erupt. Simply hold the device against the affected area and press the activation button.

A visible light indicator lets you know that invisible infra-red light is being delivered to the area. After three minutes a “beep” lets you know that treatment is complete.

Customers are advised to repeat the treatment 12 hours later. If the cold sore progresses, the device should be used four times a day for two more days.

The Evidence

Results of a trial of 60 patients (published in the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Dermatology in 2001)showed that a single application of Virulite CS healed cold sores in an average of 4.3 days, compared with 8.1 days for topical aciclovir applied five times a day.

A second trial, involving 32 patients (published in the same journal in 2006), showed that Virulite CS had a mean healing time of 6.3 days compared with 9.4 days for no treatment. The evidence has shown that the device also reduces the recurrence of cold sores and this is the subject of ongoing research.

The device is ISO13485 compliant (an international quality standard for medical devices) and has CE approval (showing that the device complies with relevant European health and safety legislation) & also FDA approval. No side effects have been reported.

The Reviews

The Testimonials and reviews for the Virulite are amazing, for example this one by Bobby Lall,

Every year I used to dread February as I knew I would get a cold sore. Obviously like most cold sore sufferers you try everything under the sun, excuse the pun. I stumbled across this product by the usual “cold sore cures” via google. So decided to give it a go; February has come and gone and I had 1 potential flare up which I immediately “attacked” with the Virulite, I thought that it was a coincidence\luck when it didn’t flare up at all. I was absolutely chuffed. I felt a tingling again (march 2010) and a tiny blister appeared – done the Virulite and within 1 day it’s gone. BUY THIS PRODUCT IF YOU SUFFER FROM COLD SORES – it’s the best thing I’ve used. Pain free, no mess easy to use. Brilliant Cold Sore Machine

Achilles pain, whether due to a tear, rupture, overuse or tendonitis can be mild at best but excruciating at worst. Your Achilles tendon is the largest in the body, stretching from the bones of your heel up to your calf muscles. It is the reason you can walk and when it is injured or inflamed, something as simple as getting from A to B can be impossible.

Pain killers only work to mask the problem, whilst a massage using the Beurer FM-200 Achillomed can give you long term relief. Massage encourages blood flow to the affected area, this is what helps heal the damaged tendon leaving you feeling relaxed and with a noticeable reduction in pain.

This is why HealthCare4All think that the Vitalograph 6300 Micro is the best Spirometer

what is the best copd monitor

 This week I want to introduce you to an amazing product that is generally used by your Doctor to assess your lung function. The Spirometer I have chosen is aimed at professionals/Clinics so maybe a little OTT for home monitoring.

However, as you know me I wanted to find one that is the best and full of TECH!

What is a Spirometer?

What is the Best Spirometer?

 

A spirometer is a device used by your doctor to assess lung function. Spirometry, the evaluation of lung function with a spirometer, is one of the simplest, most common pulmonary function tests and may be necessary for any of the following reasons:

  • To determine how well the lungs receive, hold, and utilize air

  • To monitor a lung disease

  • To monitor the effectiveness of treatment

  • To determine the severity of a lung disease

  • To determine whether the lung disease is restrictive (decreased airflow) or obstructive (disruption of airflow)

After taking a deep breath, you forcefully breathe out into the spirometer as completely and forcefully as possible. The spirometer measures both the amount of air expelled and how quickly the air was expelled from the lungs. The measurements are recorded by the spirometer.

The normal, healthy values measured by the spirometer for the amount of air exhaled vary from person to person. Your results are compared to the average expected in someone of the same age, height, sex, and race, according to NHLBI. However, if the values fall below 85 percent of the average, it may indicate a lung disease or other airflow obstruction. If you have abnormal spirometer measurements, you may be referred for other lung tests to establish a diagnosis.

 

Vitalograph Micro Spirometer Model 6300 – 63310

Micro Touch Screen Spirometer
The Ultimate Low Cost, High Performance Spirometer
The Vitalograph Micro™ is a high quality spirometer at a great value price from the leading provider of spirometry devices to general healthcare and occupational health markets. This reliable, easy-to-use entry-level model offers all required functionalities in a full feature spirometer that is unrivaled in its price range.

The micro features the same high performance measuring technology used across the Vitalograph range and requires no user calibration. In contrast to turbine spirometers micro does not feature any sensitive moving parts, guaranteeing robustness and the highest possible measuring accuracy – even at very low or high flow rates. The running costs per measurement are low, as no expensive disposable sensors, turbines, spirettes and flow tubes are needed. Optimal hygienic operation is assured via Vitalograph Bacterial Viral Filters (BVF™).

The Micro is the ideal choice where fast accurate testing is required in environments where mobility is important.

The test results and curves on the micro are displayed on the colour touch screen and, if required, can be downloaded as a PDF for printing, filing and manual uploading to electronic medical record (EMR) systems. The new GLI spirometry predicted equations and Z-Scores are built in. Here is a link to the Vitalograph spirometer manual.

Excl. Tax: £541.65
Incl. Tax: £649.98

What Is The Best Home Blood Pressure Machine?

This Week I want to talk to you about Home Blood Pressure Machines. Which is the best one? When do I take my blood pressure, and how often?

Home blood pressure machines are an effective way for us to learn more about our blood pressure and keep a close eye on what’s an extremely important element of our health. Put simply, the higher your blood pressure is, the higher the risk is of developing health problems in the future.

Home blood pressure monitoring can give you a more accurate reading of your blood pressure, as the NHS informs in its blood pressure guide:

“Portable machines that measure your blood pressure at home or on the move can be a useful way of getting a more convenient and accurate reading.”

“This is because some people become anxious in medical clinics, which can cause the blood pressure to rise. This is a condition called ‘white coat hypertension.”

Portable blood pressure monitors are long established as being a convenient and effective way to monitor our blood pressure, but is there an optimum time of the day to use them?

Whilst there is no right or wrong time to take your blood pressure, there are a few factors you should consider in order to make the most out of your home blood pressure machine.

Avoid taking your blood pressure immediately after waking up

The Mayo Clinic advises to avoid measuring blood pressure immediately after you have woken up. This is due to the fact our blood pressure is typically at its lowest on waking and therefore will not provide a truly accurate reading.

The May Clinic also advices to avoid taking any medication before using the device. If you do exercise when you wake up, use the monitoring machine before you do any exercise for a more accurate reading.

Avoid drinking caffeine or alcohol before using the machine

Drinking tea, coffee and alcohol for at least half an hour before using the blood pressure monitor may result in you having a higher reading. It is therefore advised to refrain from drinking these substances prior to using the device.

A full bladder can also affect your blood pressure, so always go to the toilet before you check your blood pressure.

Measure your blood pressure at different times of the day

You might be tempted to take your blood pressure reading at the same time each day. However, measuring at different times will give you a more accurate assessment of your blood pressure overall. Taking the reading at different times will factor in different elements that can affect our blood pressure, such as hormone changes, stress and activity level.

Ormon M6 Comfort IT Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor

One of my favourite blood pressure machines is the Omron M6. If you are on the lookout for a quality blood pressure monitor for home blood pressure checks, the Ormon M6 Comfort IT Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor is a quality device, designed to give accurate assessments of blood pressure.

 

The machine connects to Bi-Link, so an internet connection is required, where users have free access to Health Management. The Ormon M6 Comfort IT Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor has advanced averaging, irregular heartbeat detection, a morning hypertension tracker, as well as an easy blood pressure colour indicator.

You can buy the Ormon M6 Comfort IT Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor from Healthcare4all here for only  £72.98

However, my new favourite is the OMRON EVOLV.

New All-in-one, connected, upper arm blood pressure monitor. No tubes, no wires, simply accurate. It has unique features which makes it an unmatched blood pressure monitor including OMRON’s Intel Wrap Cuff – £119.99

  • Wrap it on. Press a button. Take control of your cardiovascular health

  • Measuring your blood pressure – at home or on the go – has never been easier thanks to EVOLV’s compact and sleek design; It’s as simple as pressing “Start”

  • Never second guess a reading with OMRON’s unique Intel Wrap Cuff Technology which ensures an accurate reading, every time – in any position around your upper arm

  • Use your readings to get a better understanding of your health by tracking and sharing your results in the “OMRON connect” App

  • View your blood pressure results clearly on EVOLV’s built-in HD OLED display, even when taking readings at night


The Benefits:
* Helps to diagnose and monitor hypertension
* Can help detect your cardiovascular risk
* A more complete picture of your heart health

Technology for consistent accurate results. OMRON blood pressure monitors have proven reliability and accuracy under rigorous testing procedures by major health organizations.( 1. Bilo G et al. Hypertens Res 2017. 40(6): 573-580.)

There are many blood pressure machines available, these are two of my favourites. Or to view all the blood pressure monitors we have available visit our blood pressure page.

How to Get Rid of Lice & Nits for Good!

#HealthCare4All are always searching the globe for the BEST products that are not going to break the bank! We have found an amazing gadget that will rid your children of LICE AND NITS and we have been ITCHING to tell you about it! Its called the LiceTec V Comb. #HealthCare4All are also the UK Distributors!

 

Here is A great article about How to Get Rid of #Nits for Good! Also, it mentions me! 😉 https://smalltalkmag.co.uk/how-to-get-rid-of-nits-for-good/‬

As featured on ITV’s ‘This Morning’

Why is it so amazing?

Unlike most products on the market today, the LiceTec Comb removes both Lice AND Nits. It is completely safe & extremely easy to use. It works by vacuum, so there is no risk of an electrical current to the user or the patient.

You can actually see the lice and nits getting sucked into the illuminated filter so you KNOW that you have caught them! This eliminates the guesswork you have from other products. It even works on Lice that are resistant to chemicals which is becoming a worldwide problem called SUPER LICE!

It can be used as many times as necessary which a major reason we love it so much. The alternative is using lotions that cost £10- £15 and can only be used once! The LiceTec V comb is only £36.95 from HealthCare4All!

What we also love about the LiceTec V-comb is that after it has sucked the lice and nits into the filter, you simply put the cap on and throw the filter away and you KNOW they have been safely disposed of!

As it is a registered medical device, it is marked with CE & FDA approved to give you peace of mind that you have a quality product!

We like to test our internationally sourced products and one thing that we suggest is that Technique on how to use the Comb is important. So please take a look at the instruction videos below.

  • There are no chemicals or allergy causing agents making this ideal for kids with sensitivities

  • There is no need to use shampoo or conditioners as the device is directly applied to dry hair

  • There is no requirement to use smelly or irritating solutions

  • It is THE most effective way of removing lice that I have ever seen – and with my history with battling lice, that is definitely saying something!

  • It is easy to use and operate

  • The built in LED light made it easy to check hair throughout the treatment

If you want to read more about Super Lice,  there has been so much in the press recently. I have listed a few of them below FYI
