New Job.

This post is about how to deal with a new job which I have recently done, and I am loving it.

Basically what I do is door to door and I know some people think that this is a rubbish job and it's a dangerous job. But I don't it's the same level of dangerous as working on a till or been a bus driver as they take some stick like my dad he got stabbed on a bus and he now has a big scar on his face.

Well that a little about my feelings about my new job. My new job is brilliant I am on my feet all day always walking and I have lost loads of weight :-), dotty that deserved a smiley. But been on my feet all day comes at a price I have to check my sugars a lot more then what I used to do. Which is no big deal as I love the job.

That's all I can say really. If you are starting any new job be sure to find out what it involves and BE SAFE I cannot stress that enough, remember every job or school trip has its dangers but as long as you are smart and know what you are doing you will be ok.

I do want to know if anyone has been through anything like this in any new job an I want to know how you handled it.

This is how you do it:

Raising Awareness about Diabetes Medication Safety

The risks of medications vary based on their chemical composition. In fact, any medication can cause a life-threatening reaction if the person is highly allergic to the drug. Even if the person is not allergic to a drug, it still may cause side effects that may be serious enough to result in death.

Diabetes medications are one classification of drug that consist of a few different types of drugs that are associated with harmful effects. By raising awareness of the safety and concerns of these drugs, patients may be able to make an informed decision with their physicians as to whether the benefits outweigh the risks.

The diabetes medication Actos is one drug that has been linked with harmful side effects and potentially deadly consequences. France has suspended the use of this diabetes medication, and Germany also banned the drug, because of its connection to bladder cancer. In the United States, the drug is still used, however, many physicians are choosing alternatives.

According to several medical studies, Actos can cause bladder cancer in patients who use Actos for more than a year which has led to patients filing an actos bladder cancer lawsuit. The drug also has been known to cause cardiovascular problems, such as congestive heart failure. For patients who already have congestive heart failure, the issue will worsen. Since congestive heart failure may lead to death, patients who already have it should avoid using this particular diabetes medication. Heart attack and stroke are other problems that may arise as a result of taking Actos.

Actos is not the only diabetes drug to lead to harmful complications. The drug Avandia is a thiazolidinedione — which is the same drug classification as Actos — that causes harmful and potentially deadly problems. As a safety precaution, physicians must go through a special government program to prescribe Avandia.

A physician must enroll the patient in the program, in order for him or her to be able to use the medication. During the course of the program, the patient will receiving information on the risks of the drug, in particular its ties with cardiovascular problems. The drug also has been linked to liver problems and sometimes causes complete liver failure.

Patients and doctors should discuss diabetes medications together, and decide which drug is the safest option for the situation.
