ACTiveCare: Stress & Diabetes

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

walk in tubs, hydrotherapy, step in tub, diabetic care and stress

Many diabetic patients are not aware that stress will cause your glucose levels to rise. Generally, stress, be it physical, emotional stress, the stress of pain, or the
stress of illness, will cause your blood sugar to rise — often dramatically.Stress hormones like epinephrine and cortisol kick in since one of their major functions is to raise blood sugar to help boost energy when it’s needed most.

It’s very important for diabetic patients to keep a handle on their blood sugar levels…and therefore it’s necessary for them to keep a cap on their stress levels. There are many way to decrease your stress level some examples include: music, meditation, humor and a few quiet moments alone can do wonders. Another proven stress reliever is a warm soak in a hydrotherapy walk in tub. Research has shown that some patients who took a 30 minute warm bath each night were able to quell the effects of stress and many were able to lower their insulin intake by 13%. Remain Active walk in tubs can help you find a walk in tub that will be easy for you to bathe nightly.

In some cases, stress can cause diabetic patients to experience a drop in their sugar levels. This reaction is just as dangerious to your health as elevated sugar levels. So, regardless of how stress affects you, it is important to be proactive in your health care. Take a moment this week and set up a plan in advance, with your doctor. If you take insulin, you need to have a plan (usuallyyour insulin/correction ratio) in place, which will help you determine how much insulin to take during stressful times.

Aquassure Bathtub

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Remain Active Walk In Tubs is always looking for ways to better meet the needs of our customers. It didn’t take long for us to realize that many American’s are beyond the stage of requiring a walk in tub- and are in need of a tub which can be used with a transfer bench or straight from a wheelchair. Remain Active was proud to partner with Aquassure Bath Products to offer the perfect independent living solution!

Unlike walk-in bathtubs, wheelchair users able to transfer to and from a bed can use our tub unassisted. If assistance is needed, our tubs accommodate lifts, and the elevated design reduces back strain and bending for caregivers. Other tubs have a chair style seat for bathers, while our bathtub allows bathers to stretch out and relax, enjoying a full body immersion spa experience.

To enter the tub, sit down in the doorway and slide back as you would into a bed. Your legs slide in without any strain. Then slide the door shut - it seals by itself. No fussy latches or lock pins needed to prevent leaks and spills. The faucets and grab bars are all within easy reach.

The sliding door in the side of the bathtub opens like a van door, so it doesn’t get in your way or require extra clearance. It seals using the water pressure inside the tub. Filling the Aquassure bathtub increases the seal strength and integrity. The whole bathtub is elevated on a cabinet base with drawers, providing additional storage underneath. The door sill of the bathtub is 20” high for easy seated access. There is clearance for a wheeled lift, when needed.

The Aquassure Bathtub comes with pre-installed, high-flow fixtures and uses less water than most ‘walk-in’ tubs for a faster, more comfortable fill. Our fixtures allow you to pre-set the water temperature and offer choices of easy-to-use lever handles or optional push-button controls. All the controls are within easy reach. Choices of air jets, water jets, or both are also available for a therapeutic spa experience. The unique cabinet base can be matched to home décor with plain or hardwood finishes to enhance the ambiance of your bathing area.

For more information on The Aquassure Bathtub or other walk in tub units available through Remain Active please call our offices 1-800-397-1123.
