How to celebrate Mother’s Day by treating yourself well amidst COVID and hot weather

It’s the time of the year again when we celebrate and honor the special women of our lives.

However, 2023 may yet, prove to be challenging in terms of observing this occasion here in the Philippines.

The reason?

An unexpected case of double whammy that can lead to developing, or worsening a long-term illness: Diabetes.

Heat Index and Diabetes

According to medical experts, high temperatures and humidity can cause dehydration and affect insulin sensitivity, which can lead to high blood sugar levels and increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

COVID-19 and Diabetes

Several studies have suggested a link between COVID-19 and the development of diabetes. According to research published in the Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology, COVID-19 can cause acute insulin resistance, which can lead to high blood sugar levels and an increased risk of developing diabetes.

Diabetes and Mother’s Day

Diabetes can have a significant impact on women’s health, from pregnancy and cardiovascular disease to sexual and reproductive health and mental health.

Therefore, as a means to honor our mothers, we want each and every woman to have the proper know-how to prevent or worsen diabetic conditions.

Make the Most, Treat Yourself Well

This Mother’s Day, show your appreciation to the moms in your life and share information that greatly reduces the risk of diabetes even if exposed to conditions like extreme heat, and COVID-19.

Here are four wellness tips to make the most of the occasion as we take our mother’s to a journey to #TreatYourselfWell:
