Ukusuka kwimpilo yabantu abamnyama yezeMpilo

Uhlobo lwe-2 lweswekile luyakhuselwa, imeko engapheliyo ukuba, ukuba ayilawulwa, inokubangela iingxaki- ezinye zazo zinokubusongela ubomi.

Iingxaki zinokubandakanya isifo sentliziyo kunye nokubetha, ubumfama, isifo sezintso, ukunqunyulwa kwamalungu omzimba, kunye nokukhulelwa okusemngciphekweni phakathi kwezinye iimeko.

Kodwa isifo seswekile singabetha abafazi abamnyama ngakumbi. Abafazi abamnyama bafumana inqanaba eliphezulu lesifo seswekile ngenxa yemiba efana noxinzelelo lwegazi, ukutyeba kakhulu, kunye neendlela zokuphila.

Ngokutsho kweSebe lezeMpilo laseMelika kunye neNkonzo zoLuntu, iOfisi yezeMpilo encinci, umngcipheko wesifo seswekile u-80% uphakeme phakathi kwabantsundu abanga-Hispanic kunabalingani babo abaMhlophe.

Ukongeza, abasetyhini abanesifo seswekile kunokwenzeka ukuba bafumane iingxaki ezinxulumene nokukhulelwa kwaye basemngciphekweni omkhulu kunamadoda anesifo seswekile ngenxa yokuhlaselwa sisifo sentliziyo kunye nokungaboni.

I-Black Women's Health Imperative (BWHI) izinikele ekuncedeni abantu bafunde indlela abanokunciphisa ngayo le mngcipheko.

I-BWHI iqhuba i-CYL², Inkqubo yokuphila enika abaqeqeshi ukufundisa abantu basetyhini kunye namadoda kwilizwe liphela indlela yokutshintsha ubomi babo ngokutya ngokwahlukileyo nangokuhamba ngakumbi.

CYL² ikhokelela kwindlela ekuncedeni abantu ukuba baphalaze iipawundi kwaye bathathe amanyathelo okuthintela isifo seswekile, isifo sentliziyo, kunye nezinye iimeko ezingapheliyo. Inxalenye yeNkqubo yeSizwe yokuThintela isifo seSwekile ekhokelwa ngamaZiko oLawulo noThintelo lwezifo (CDC).

Ukusukela ngoNovemba yiNyanga yeSwekile yeSizwe, saya ku-Angela Marshall, MD, okwangusihlalo webhodi ye-Black Women's Health Imperative, enemibuzo ephambili malunga nokuthintela isifo seswekile.

Umbuzo kunye no-Angela Marshall, MD

Ufumanisa njani ukuba unesifo seswekile sesi-2 okanye usesichengeni?

Oogqirha bahlala bejonga isifo seswekile ngexesha lomzimba apho kwenziwa igazi. Inqanaba leswekile yegazi elikhawulezayo lifakiwe kwezona ndawo zisisiseko zomsebenzi wegazi. Inqanaba le-126 mg / dL okanye ngaphezulu libonisa ubukho besifo seswekile, kwaye inqanaba eliphakathi kwe-100 kunye ne-125 mg / dL ihlala icebisa i-prediabetes.

Kukho olunye uvavanyo lwegazi oluhlala lusenziwa, iHemoglobin A1c, enokuthi ibe sisixhobo esiluncedo sokuhlola. Ibamba iinyanga ezi-3 zembali yeswekile egazini yomntu ngamnye.

Uninzi lwabasetyhini abaMnyama baphila nohlobo 2 lweswekile kodwa abazi ukuba banaso. Kutheni kunjalo?

Uninzi lwabasetyhini abaMnyama baphila nohlobo lwesibini lweswekile kodwa abazi ukuba banaso. Zininzi izizathu zoku.

Kufuneka sibengcono malunga nokukhathalela impilo yethu ngokubanzi. Umzekelo, sihlala sisexesheni nge-pap smears zethu kunye nee-mammograms, kodwa, ngamanye amaxesha, asikuphaphelanga ukwazi amanani ethu eswekile yegazi, uxinzelelo lwegazi, kunye necholesterol.

Sonke kufuneka sikubeke phambili ukubeka amadinga kunye nababoneleli ngenkathalo yethu ukuba basikhathalele sonke.

Elinye icandelo lalo mbandela lukhanyelo. Ndinezigulane ezininzi ezilikhalimela ngokupheleleyo igama lika-‘D ’xa ndibaxelela ukuba banalo. Kufuneka itshintshe.

Ndicinga ukuba kukho iimeko apho unxibelelwano oluvela kubaboneleli ngezempilo kufuneka luphuculwe. Ndihlala ndibona abaguli abatsha bothuswa kukuva ukuba banesifo seswekile kwaye oogqirha babo bangaphambili abaze babaxelele. Oku kufuneka kuguquke.

Ngaba isifo seswekile okanye i-prediabetes iyaguqulwa? Njani?

Iingxaki zesifo seswekile kunye ne-prediabetes zinokuthintelwa ngokupheleleyo, nangona wakube ufumanekile, siyaqhubeka ukuthi unayo. Eyona ndlela yokuyijika ‘kukutya, ukuzilolonga, kunye nokwehlisa umzimba, ukuba kufanelekile.

Ukuba umntu uyakwazi ukufezekisa iswekile yegazi eqhelekileyo, sithi loo mntu 'usezinjongo,' ngokuchaseneyo nokuthi akasenayo. Okumangalisa kukuba, kubantu abanesifo seswekile, ngamanye amaxesha konke okufunekayo kukuthoba umzimba ngo-5% ukufezekisa iiswekile eziqhelekileyo zegazi.

Zeziphi izinto ezintathu anokuzenza ukuthintela isifo seswekile?

Izinto ezintathu anokuzenza ukuthintela isifo seswekile zezi:

1. Gcina ubunzima obuqhelekileyo.
2. Yitya ukutya okusempilweni, okunesondlo esisezantsi kwiishukela ezisulungekisiweyo.
3. Zilolonge rhoqo.

Ukuba unamalungu osapho anesifo seswekile, ngaba uza kusifumana?

Ukuba namalungu osapho anesifo seswekile akuthethi ukuba uya kusifumana ngokupheleleyo; Nangona kunjalo, yonyusa amathuba okuba uyifumane.

Ezinye iingcali zikholelwa ekubeni abantu abanembali eyomeleleyo yosapho kufuneka ngokuzenzekelayo bazithathele ingqalelo ‘besemngciphekweni.’ Akubuhlungu ukulandela iingcebiso esizinika abantu abanesifo seswekile.

Iingcebiso ezinje ngokutya ukutya okusempilweni, ukuzilolonga rhoqo, kunye nokuhlolwa rhoqo kuyacetyiswa kuye wonke umntu.

I-Black Women's Health Imperative (BWHI) ngumbutho wokuqala ongajonganga nzuzo owasekwa ngabasetyhini abaMnyama ukukhusela kunye nokuqhubela phambili impilo kunye nokuphila kwabafazi abamnyama kunye namantombazana. Funda nzulu ngeBWHI ngokuya ku www.bwhi.org.
