With recent bee activity in our area, it's important to know the difference between a minor bee sting and a medical emergency.
Nurse Practitioner Kathryn Simmons encourages staying alert and taking precautions, especially for those with bee allergies.
Seek immediate medical attention or call 911 if you experience trouble breathing or swallowing, swelling of the lips, tongue, mouth or throat, widespread hives, nausea, vomiting or dizziness. It is also important to be vigilant if there are multiple bee stings, which can trigger a severe reaction even in people without a known allergy.
If you have a prescribed EpiPen, use it immediately and seek emergency care.

During Wound Care Awareness Month, Dr. Waqar Ahmad, Internal Medicine Specialist, reminds patients that even small wounds deserve attention.
Your skin is the body's first line of defense against infection, and when a wound doesn't heal properly, it can become a serious health concern. Proper wound care starts with cleaning and protecting the affected area, monitoring for signs of infection, and seeking medical attention if healing stalls or symptoms worsen.
Certain health conditions, including diabetes, can make wound healing more challenging by affecting circulation and sensation, increasing the risk of complications. That's why early intervention and ongoing care are so important.
This Wound Care Awareness Month, don't ignore a wound that isn't healing. Prompt treatment can help prevent complications and support a healthier recovery.

After watching his dad manage diabetes and deal with recurring foot wounds, Podiatric Surgeon Dr. David Chandra knew that foot and ankle care was his calling. Shadowing the podiatrist who cared for his father gave him a clear understanding of how foot and ankle conditions can directly affect a patient’s quality of life. He describes his father as very outgoing and welcoming, qualities that align with how he approaches patient interactions today. Following Father’s Day, Dr. Chandra reflects on that influence and encourages patients to focus on day-to-day lifestyle and dietary changes while addressing concerns before they become more serious.

During Men's Health Month, Family Medicine Physician’s Assistant Chris Melcher recommends taking simple but important steps to protect your long-term health. According to Melcher, men in their 20s and 30s should watch their weight, get daily exercise, and monitor their alcohol consumption. As men move into their 40s, he recommends adding routine screenings like colonoscopies, especially with a family history of colon cancer, along with baseline blood work, including cholesterol and blood sugar checks. Melcher says colonoscopies are not painful and can detect and remove polyps during the same procedure. If you are over 250 pounds and of average height, you should have your blood sugar checked for diabetes. Other red flags include persistent joint pain, shortness of breath, frequent urination, and gaining or losing 20 pounds over six months without trying.

Diabetes self-management and nutrition therapy differ between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. According to Registered Clinical Dietitian Educator Ariel Mitchael, Type 1 centers on insulin therapy, supported by diet and lifestyle choices that promote blood sugar stability and insulin sensitivity. Type 2 focuses on diet and lifestyle modification to improve blood sugar control and reduce insulin resistance, with oral medications or insulin used when needed. Diabetes Educator Christina Zeledon adds that medical nutrition therapy and diabetes self-management differ because medical nutrition therapy for people with diabetes includes managing complex comorbidities, such as chronic kidney disease and high cholesterol, alongside diabetes care.
