Monterey, CA Tip For Diabetics : Exercise Frequently
If your job requires you to do a lot of sitting, make sure you take frequent breaks especially if you are diabetic. The ADA’s 2020 Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes recommends doing a light activity for every 30 minutes of uninterrupted sitting. Sitting increases insulin resistance, and it also increases blood pressure and impedes blood flow. I know that this is tough to do now that the entire state of California has been put on lockdown. We can’t go to Point Lobos or the beach, but try taking a walk around the block!

Monterey, CA Estate Planning In A Coronavirus World
AARP Bulletin in their November 2020 issue (page 22) had an interesting article about more and more couples looking at estate planning now that the coronavirus is making the future outlook bleak. Keep in mind that you can write a will at any time, even if you are sick in the hospital. Most estate planners recommend setting up a living trust, which gives you a lot of flexibility on how your assets are distributed following your death. Experts warn that doing a joint will for a couple is a terrible idea—they aren’t even legal in some states. Leaving more to one child than another almost guarantees that the will could be challenged. Stepchildren aren’t automatically treated as children for legal purposes. There are a lot of moving pieces in an estate plan so consult with your attorney.

Monterey, CA Coronavirus Update From A Carmel Caregiver : California Outlook Is Bleak
Many businesses are irritated that Monterey County health officer Dr. Ed. Moreno issued a stay-at-home order effective on Monday even though the ICU bed capacity had not fallen below 15% in the Bay Area, which would have required a shutdown. It turns out he was only a few days early—ICU beds in the Bay Area fell to just 12.9% today meaning the entire Bay Area is now locked down. There were 286 new cases of coronavirus reported in Monterey County today, bringing the total to 18,507. There were 15 new hospitalizations, and two more deaths. Nationwide, there were 202K new cases, bringing the total to 16.891 million, while deaths rose by 3,620 to 305,934. The number of new cases was up by 60% over yesterday. In California, the numbers were bleak. There were 37,474 new cases (up 47% from yesterday) bringing the grand total to 1.663 million so far. Deaths more than doubled from yesterday’s 161 to today’s 354. These numbers are disturbing, please stay at home as much as possible.
Monterey, CA Artificial Intelligence Programs May Help Predict Alzheimer’s Disease
An Artificial Intelligence Program, AI, analyzed the language of study participants and found it could be able to predict whether people with no memory or thinking problems would develop Alzheimer’s disease later in life. Funded by Pfizer and conducted by IBM, the program accurately predicted up to 74% of participants that were diagnosed with the disease later in life. The study which was published in the journal EClinicalMedicine, analyzed 700 written samples from 27 participants in another study conducted decades ago. Based on written samples, the study more accurately predicts Alzheimer’s disease than other research. Experts say that tracking language over time could be done as part of routine medical exams. Regular readers of my blog know that both my grandmother and my father died from this terrible disease, and I am a big fan of our local Monterey chapter of Alzheimer’s Association.
