The New Generation of Diabetic and Medical Supplies

Delivering Products Directly to Homes and Businesses

Southfield, MI (PRWEB) September 26, 2010

Diabetes is one of the fastest growing medical conditions in the United States and across the globe. 24 million people are estimated to have diabetes in the U.S, which accounts for approximately 7.8 percent of the population. A large portion of these figures are attributable to Type II Diabetes, which is typically diagnosed in individuals later in life with other health challenges.

The steep rise in diagnoses of the condition, coupled with the high cost of managing diabetes, has created a greater need for affordable testing supplies and equipment. This is particularly true in today’s world with high levels unemployment and record numbers of uninsured persons. Of course, even those people who have insurance or Medicare coverage may find that high deductibles, co-pays, or having to pay out-of-pocket for non-covered medical products, becomes a financial challenge.

While many people still seem content driving to the pharmacy for supplies, Diatic Medical is a new generation diabetic supply company that delivers products directly to its consumers’ homes. By delivering its products, instead of owning a physical store, Diatic is able to greatly reduce the overall cost of doing business, and in turn sell products at far lower prices.

The goal of Diatic Medical is to not only ensure diabetics have access to affordable supplies, but also to provide people with the resources to access and review the latest information on diabetic topics. Weight loss, diabetic diets, and exercise plans are all things diabetics must actively manage to help control and minimize the effects of diabetes. In addition, by utilizing new media on the web, including blogs, and social networking sites, Diatic provides an environment for diabetics to educate themselves and find support through a community of people with similar needs.

As healthcare costs skyrocket, and access to affordable supplies becomes more difficult, a growing number of diabetics may simply decide not to test as recommended by their physicians. Unfortunately, there are consequences for both the individual and the healthcare system when prompt treatment is not received. Uncontrolled diabetes can contribute to secondary health issues, including kidney disease, stroke, high blood pressure, heart disease, and many other complications, which make the overall benefits of treating diabetes early unquestionable.

Diatic Medical proves that options do exist for those operating under a strict budget.

Diatic Medical is based in Southfield, Michigan, but serves the entire country. With shipping facilities in multiple regions, Diatic Medical offers low cost supplies, including blood glucose meters, blood glucose test strips, control solution, and other medical supplies for daily healthcare needs, delivered directly to customers’ homes anywhere in the country. More information on Diatic Medical is available on its website at http://www.diaticmedical.com, or by phone at 888-692-7125.

Clean Up as You Clear Out

(PRWeb UK) September 26, 2010

Young children are naturally inquisitive and love to go exploring. But sadly, dangerous products can lurk in the dusty corners of garages and sheds waiting for an inquisitive child on a rainy afternoon. These include weed-killers, rat and mouse poisons, wood preservatives, slug pellets, paint thinners, preservatives, anti-freeze, windscreen washer additives and barbeque fuel.

Top tips from Bitrex and the Child Accident Prevention Trust to keep children safe from dangerous substances are: –
Don’t transfer chemicals into other containers – particularly old soft drinks bottles or food containers – as a young child can mistake them for something to eat or drink.

If you have products with no labels, it’s safest to dispose of them to avoid any confusion.

Store dangerous products as securely in your garage or garden shed as you would inside your home – out of young children’s reach and sight, and ideally in a locked cupboard.

Buy products with a child-resistant closure. But remember that, while child-resistant caps slow children down, they aren’t ‘child-proof’ – some 3-4 year olds can open them in seconds.

Look for products with the Bitrex logo on the packaging. The Bitrex bittering agent makes products taste so horrible that children will spit them out rather than swallowing them.

Katrina Phillips, Chief Executive of the Child Accident Prevention Trust said,

‘You may have lots of dangerous products lurking in your garage or garden shed that you don’t want young children to get their hands on. It’s so easy to pop them inside the door and then forget about them. But young children love exploring and may slip away into the garage when your back is turned. So, if you’re having a clear out now it’s autumn, why not take five minutes to store these products safely away. And remember that most local councils have facilities where you can safely dispose of unwanted chemicals.’

Cameron Smith, Business Manager for Bitrex added,

‘We at Bitrex supply a product which is very much the third line of defence in child safety. Our additive makes material almost impossible to swallow by even the most inquisitive and resourceful child. But it is only the final line of defence. Parents and grandparents are increasingly aware of the hazards of many common products and are very well aware of the things that you can do to reduce the risks.

‘Our hope is that this autumn’s clean up season, the vigilance will extend to outside the home and the corners and shelves in sheds and garages that are so interesting to inquisitive minds. Bitrex in products will ensure that a near miss remains exactly that and not a more serious accident. It’s a great reassurance to parents to know that the last line of defence is in place in many products. But Bitrex® is not used by every product manufacturer, so we’d much rather products were stored in such a way that Bitrex didn’t have to prove its worth and remained as a back-up to ensure peace of mind.’
