AstraZeneca and Recent Developments on Diabetes Treatments

We're at the AstraZeneca event today to know a little more about diabetes treatments and how you can save your future. Living with a family where it's loke a normal thing to have diabetes, I am absolutely scared about it but since bith my Mom and Dad has them I figured I probably don't have a choice but to live with it. Dr. Bobby Mirasol the former president of Philippine Society of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism (PSEDM) says "It's not an easy disease and you need early intervention, plus a deeper understanding of the need for lifestyle adjustments and pharma treatment". That means you need to have treatments and factors that should help in diabetes treatment so you can lower blood sugar levels, blood pressure and weight loss. It's not easy because you need to maintain a healthy lifestyle and people would always have issues sticking to a plan. There are revolutionary drugs that you can take in order to make the goal easy to achieve.

AstraZeneca has introduced diabetes medicine and new drug entities to battle the disease. Their company is science driven and they've been trying to address how to manage weight issues, fatty liver disease, and other matters so they can bring potential medicines to the forefront and deliver life changing medicine for patients. They also want to push the boundaries of this science and pursue experimental treatment too. Dapagliflozin for example, it treats type 2 diabetes by preventing the kidneys to absorb sugar and release the glucose through the urine instead. It complements what you can say the normal prescription together with insulin therapy (if you are taking it). It did good in clinical trials and even beat leading diabetes medications too. 

In the Philippines, Dapagliflozin has been used to treat 20,000 Filipinos with Type 2 diabetes. It has been lauded for reducing blood levels and additional health benefits. It helps in making the patient gradually go to a good lifestyle change. They call it Diabesity, as these two things are intertwined and more overweight people develop type 2 diabetes and they hopefully want to address that. I am cringing right now because I feel they are talking about me LOL!

AstraZeneca is helping bigtime to fight type 2 diabetes. They want to use holistic diabetes care solutions together with Doctors, Nutritionists and Fitness Experts to do dapagliflozin treatments. If you need information about managing diabetes, please check out their website www.astrazeneca.com especially if you're looking for a second line of treatment. You have to ask your doctor of course and have a healthy lifestyle together with it.

Ciao!

The Good and Bad Things About Fillers: Radiesse

Rushed to Makati so I could catch an event by Merz Aesthetics, a branch of the brand Merz who's one of the leaders in aesthetics and consumer health. They talked about aging, a fact that nobody accepts in this day and age but eventually have to face because of stress, exposure to the sun, lack of sleep and negative outlook in life. It all contributes to the word OLD and the other 3 letter word called AGE, we have to face it eventually so in this occurrence you'll have soft tissue quality, facial bone loss, muscle and ligament loss of control because of gravity. At this time, people get deep wrinkles, thick skin, laxity, impaired healing, sagging eyelids, need I say more?

What would be the treatment? It starts from taking care of your skin, a change of lifestyle, hydration and a healthy diet. The key here is prevention, says Dr. Ferraris from UERMMC. She adds the process also of looking good makes one feel good. It has to come from inside, it's our nature to actually do it. From applying make up, getting things done through surgery and aesthetics. Invasive or non invasive, it all boils down to your own value of symmetry and not get far with your self esteem issues. Having exercise, aesthetic medicine, are all part of it and must have improvements in order to cure depression and have self esteem. In the Philippines it's only in it's infancy and not a lot of people undergo procedures. Though they should be screened properly before having it so it won't be an addiction. Treating patients psychologically before procedures is a must so their standards and acceptance would be in tune and not get dimorphism.

Merz has a product called Radiesse that has got long term collagen stimulation. It's the filler, a gel like component in this product that naturally blends with the collagen of the face to add volume. It looks natural, and its effects are long term. Once a doctor administers this to you, you won't be seeing much of the wrinkles and lines, have that immediate lift and have it for the years to come. Radiesse has been used for a long time and has defied age for thousands of women around the world. They have made clinical tests, studies and proven safe by a lot of publications around the world! 

The better lift and contour would make you feel better, even look better and be better inside. These fillers are injected for volume enhancement to change the face shape and we even saw some celebrities from Taiwan use it, almost no complications and very minimal recovery time. They also look quite natural and people couldn't tell actually. It's that big of a change but not these are not dangerous. Unlike some medical practitioners who use silicon oil that can cause cancer in a lot of cases. So make sure you study and judge what you can only use safely okay? If some people offer you for a very small fee, call it collagen and use silicone oils, don't do it! People have died from that already. Make sure you only get medical grade ones and trusted by the public. It's your face anyway!

Be safe, remember that!

Now Open: The New Greenwich Pizzeria!

Who doesn't love Greenwich Pizza?! With the freshest ingredients topped on great thin crust, you just can't get enough of their pizzas. Those lovely chicken and pasta combos are also affordable aside from the fact that their full flavored lasagnas are to die for. If you are just up for a snack, you can grab their frozen drinks and just chow on cut fries in your favorite cheese and barbecue flavors. Dip it in their own salsa and it's a done deal! Well, almost. They haven't really stopped there. We went to their grandest store a few days ago to get a taste of these awesome food in an awesome setting. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the new Greenwich Pizzeria!

This is the newly opened store in SM North Edsa's second floor. There's no other store like this yet but they are in the plans of changing the look of other stores into this new whimsical one pretty soon. I love the more modern vibe and it'll probably be a great place to hangout by kids, families and young ones too. If you haven't been here, it's a place that you'll be happy to spend time in with your closest friends.

Oh and speaking of friends, he came inside the store and all hell broke lose!

The cute and cuddly John Lloyd Cruz suddenly appeared all thin and super bodied than the last time we saw him in ABSCBN. He's been working out but without sacrificing his love for his favorite Greenwich Overload Hawaiian Pizza! He was so happy about the new store that he began giving out free pizza to everyone in the restaurant.... he even gave some outside the mall! It went out like magic because as soon as John Lloyd took out his hand with a box of pizza, the ladies immediately fall on their knees and beg for more... both of John Lloyd and the pizza of course!

Best of all, he gave it away for free! Now if you love John Lloyd, you'll surely love the new store. 

We even met some of the store's proponents, parts of the team that thought about the overall design and feel for the Greenwich Pizzeria! They are so proud of this that they can't wait to implement it in other stores nationwide. With the brewing demand for new things in the market, Greenwich chooses to be a familiar homey establishment but still maintain their true colors. That is why John Lloyd was so happy to see the new Greenwich Pizzeria, he says this is something that he never thought would happen. Everything is going to change and they are ready. We are looking forward to all these changes soon!

There will be more great offerings perfect for groups and individuals if you go to your nearby Greenwich Pizza store or order through 55555. Aside from that, once that your favorite branch starts to be converted into these mod industrial hangouts, you might find John Lloyd Cruz one of these days. He'll have these faces, his eyes look at you so intense you'll have to order more Greenwich Overload Hawaiian Pizza and Greenwich Lasagna Supreme just to keep him on your table. Be nice and spend quality time with your family and friends. Overloaded sa sulit! 

Pizza please! :)
