Kusuka kwe-Black Women’s Health Imperative

Uhlobo lwesibili sikashukela yisimo esivinjelwe, esingapheliyo, uma singalawulwa, singadala izinkinga - ezinye zazo ezingasongela impilo.

Izinkinga zingafaka isifo senhliziyo nesifo sohlangothi, ubumpumputhe, isifo sezinso, ukunqunywa, nokukhulelwa okuyingozi kakhulu phakathi kwezinye izimo.

Kodwa isifo sikashukela singabashaya kanzima abesifazane abamnyama. Abesifazane abamnyama babhekana nezinga eliphezulu lesifo sikashukela ngenxa yezinkinga ezifana nomfutho wegazi ophakeme, ukukhuluphala ngokweqile, kanye nendlela yokuphila yokuhlala phansi.

Ngokusho koMnyango Wezempilo kanye Nezinsizakalo Zabantu e-U.S., I-Office of Minority Health, ingozi yesifo sikashukela esitholakele ingu-80% ngaphezulu kwabangewona amaSpanishi abamnyama kunabalingani babo abaMhlophe.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, abesifazane abanesifo sikashukela banamathuba amaningi okuhlangabezana nezinkinga ezihlobene nokukhulelwa futhi basengozini enkulu kunamadoda anesifo sikashukela sokufa kwesifo senhliziyo nokungaboni.

IBlack Women’s Health Imperative (BWHI) izinikele ekusizeni abantu bafunde ukuthi bangazinciphisa kanjani lezi zingozi.

I-BWHI isebenzisa i-CYL², uhlelo lokuphila olunikeza abaqeqeshi ukufundisa abesifazane nabesilisa ezweni lonke ukuthi bangaziguqula kanjani izimpilo zabo ngokudla ngendlela ehlukile nokuhamba ngaphezulu.

I-CYL² ihola indlela ekusizeni abantu ukuthi bachithe amakhilogremu futhi bathathe nezinyathelo zokuvikela isifo sikashukela, isifo senhliziyo, nezinye izimo eziningi ezingalapheki. Iyingxenye yoHlelo Lukazwelonke Lokuvimbela Isifo Sikashukela oluholwa yiCenters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Njengoba uNovemba kuyinyanga kaZwelonke Yesifo Sikashukela, saya ku-Angela Marshall, MD, ophinde abe ngusihlalo webhodi leBlack Women’s Health Imperative, ngemibuzo ethile ebalulekile ngokuvikela isifo sikashukela.

I-Q & A eno-Angela Marshall, MD

Ngabe uthola kanjani ukuthi unesifo sikashukela sohlobo 2 noma usengozini?

Odokotela bahlala behlola isifo sikashukela ngesikhathi somzimba lapho kwenziwa umsebenzi wegazi. Izinga likashukela egazini elifakiwe lifakiwe kumaphaneli wokusebenza egazini ayisisekelo. Izinga le-126 mg / dL noma ngaphezulu likhombisa ubukhona besifo sikashukela, futhi izinga eliphakathi kuka-100 no-125 mg / dL livame ukuphakamisa ama-prediabetes.

Kukhona okunye ukuhlolwa kwegazi okuvame ukwenziwa, iHemoglobin A1c, nayo engaba ithuluzi eliwusizo lokuhlola. Ithatha umlando wezinyanga ezi-3 wokuqongelela ushukela womuntu ngamunye.

Baningi abantu besifazane abaMnyama abaphila nohlobo 2 sikashukela kodwa abazi ukuthi banaso. Kungani kunjalo?

Abesifazane abaningi abaMnyama baphila nesifo sikashukela sohlobo lwe-2 kodwa abazi ukuthi banaso. Kunezizathu eziningana zalokhu.

Kufanele sibe ngcono ngokunakekela impilo yethu ngokuphelele. Isibonelo, imvamisa sisesikhathini kuma-pap smear nama-mammograms ethu, kepha, kwesinye isikhathi, asiqaphile kangako ngokwazi izinombolo zethu zikashukela wegazi, umfutho wegazi, ne-cholesterol.

Sonke kufanele sikubeke phambili ukubeka ama-aphoyintimenti nabahlinzeki bethu bokunakekela okuyinhloko ukunakekela thina sonke.

Enye ingxenye yalolu daba ukuphika. Ngibe neziguli eziningi ezilikhuza ngokuphelele igama elithi 'D' lapho ngizitshela ukuthi zinalo. Lokhu kufanele kuguquke.

Ngicabanga ukuthi kunezimo lapho ukuxhumana okuvela kubahlinzeki bezokunakekelwa kwezempilo kudinga ukuthuthuka. Ngivame ukubona iziguli ezintsha ezimangala ngokuphelele ukuzwa ukuthi zinesifo sikashukela kanti odokotela bazo bangaphambilini abazitshelanga. Lokhu futhi kufanele kuguquke.

Ngabe isifo sikashukela noma i-prediabetes siyabuyiselwa emuva? Kanjani?

Izinkinga zesifo sikashukela kanye nama-prediabetes zigwemeka ngokuphelele, yize usutholakele, siyaqhubeka nokusho ukuthi unaso. Indlela engcono kakhulu ‘yokukuhlehlisa’ kungukudla, ukuzivocavoca umzimba, nokwehlisa isisindo, uma kufanele.

Uma umuntu ekwazi ukufeza ushukela wegazi ojwayelekile ngokuphelele, sithi lowo muntu ‘usemgomweni,’ uma kuqhathaniswa nokuthi akasenayo. Ngokumangazayo, kubantu abanesifo sikashukela, kwesinye isikhathi okudingekayo ukwehlisa isisindo sika-5% ukufeza ushukela wegazi ojwayelekile.

Yiziphi izinto ezintathu umuntu angazenza ukuvimbela isifo sikashukela?

Izinto ezintathu umuntu angazenza ukuvimbela isifo sikashukela yilezi:

1. Gcina isisindo esivamile.
2. Yidla ukudla okunempilo, okunomsoco ophansi koshukela ocwengekile.
3. Vocavoca umzimba njalo.

Uma unamalungu omndeni onesifo sikashukela, ngabe uzosithola?

Ukuba namalungu omndeni anesifo sikashukela akusho ukuthi uzosithola ngokuphelele; kodwa-ke, kwandisa amathuba okuthola.

Abanye ochwepheshe bakholelwa ukuthi abantu abanomlando oqinile womndeni kufanele bazicabange ‘besengozini.’ Akubuhlungu neze ukulandela izincomo esizinika abantu abanesifo sikashukela.

Izeluleko ezifana nokudla ukudla okunempilo, ukuzivocavoca umzimba njalo, nokuhlolwa njalo kuyanconywa kuwo wonke umuntu.

IBlack Women’s Health Imperative (BWHI) yinhlangano yokuqala engenzi nzuzo eyasungulwa ngabesifazane abaMnyama ukuvikela nokuqhubekisela phambili impilo nenhlalakahle yabesifazane namantombazane abaNsundu. Funda kabanzi nge-BWHI ngokuya ku- www.bwhi.org.
