Examen de la vista para diabéticos

ener problemas en la retina. La retina es una parte del ojo que ayuda a ver. Luego de un tiempo prolongado, los niveles de azúcar en la sangre pueden dañar los vasos sanguíneos de la retina, lo que causa retinopatía.

Aunque no tenga síntomas, igualmente se recomienda que se haga un examen de la vista completo para detectar si hay algo que no sea normal. ¿Qué debe hacer? Si aún no tiene un Doctor del Cuidado de la Vista de IEHP, visite nuestra Herramienta “Provider Search” (Buscar un Proveedor) (seleccione “Vision Services” [Servicios de la Vista]) para encontrar uno que le quede cerca.

Cómo obtener Atención Médica - Seguridad Médica

Respuestas ¿Qué puede suceder si tomo algunos medicamentos al mismo tiempo? Cuando toma dos medicamentos o más, estos probablemente funcionarán bien juntos. En ciertas ocasiones, usted podría presentar lo que se llama “interacción entre medicamentos”. Esto significa que algunos medicamentos que toma conjuntamente podrían causar una reacción adversa en el cuerpo. Por ejemplo, una “interacción entre medicamentos” podría: hacer que sus medicamentos no actúen bien (disminuyan su efecto) hacer que uno o más de los medicamentos sean demasiado fuertes y causen efectos secundarios no deseados, que podrían ser mortales SUGERENCIA: Hable con su Farmacéutico sobre todos los medicamentos que toma y pregunte si estos funcionan bien juntos. ¿Cuáles son algunas razones por las que podría tener un efecto perjudicial por tomar uno o más medicamentos al mismo tiempo? Estas razones podrían incluir: dosis demasiado alta interacción con otros medicamentos Nota: Todas las personas pueden tener diferentes reacciones, según la edad, el peso, el género, etc. SUGERENCIA: Para evitar problemas al tomar dos o más medicamentos juntos, informe a su Proveedor de atención médica y Farmacéutico sobre todos los medicamentos (y otros remedios) que está tomando.  ¿Cómo sé si estoy tomando el medicamento adecuado —a la dosis correcta y en el momento correcto— para controlar mis síntomas? Cualquier medicamento que tome de manera incorrecta podría poner en riesgo su salud. Un fabricante de medicamentos debe mostrar los datos de su investigación a la Administración de Alimentos y Medicamentos (Food and Drug Administration, FDA) para que se apruebe cada medicamento. Dicha investigación podría ser sobre:  cómo actúa el medicamento  por qué es seguro tomarlo (o no)  qué dosis es más eficaz con la menor cantidad de efectos secundarios  ¿Un medicamento que se toma a una dosis alta podría ser perjudicial? Sí. Es por eso que su Farmacéutico controla sus medicamentos para asegurarse de que usted esté tomando la dosis correcta. Recuerde hacer cualquier pregunta que tenga a su Doctor o Farmacéutico sobre sus medicamentos.  Tomar dosis más altas de las recomendadas de ciertos medicamentos sin receta (OTC) y medicamentos recetados —incluido el abuso o uso indebido de los medicamentos— puede causar problemas de salud graves. Incluso podría ocasionar la muerte. Además, una dosis que sea segura para usted quizás no sea segura para otra persona.    ¿Quiénes necesitan, con mayor frecuencia, que se cambien las dosis de sus medicamentos y por qué? Ciertas personas necesitan que se cambien sus dosis, de manera que no tomen demasiado (lo que se llama “sobredosis”). Estas personas incluyen adultos mayores, niños, embarazadas o madres que están amamantando, y pacientes con condiciones de salud crónicas.  Pregunte siempre a su Farmacéutico si los medicamentos son seguros para que usted los tome a las dosis recetadas. No comparta sus medicamentos con amigos o familiares.  ¿Qué son los “tratamientos con medicamentos duplicados”? ¿Por qué debo saber sobre este tema? Usted podría tener diferentes Doctores que le hayan recetado medicamentos que actúan de la misma manera para su caso. Cuando los medicamentos tienen ingredientes activos similares, podrían ser: 1) el mismo medicamento con nombres diferentes (por ejemplo, uno podría tener una marca registrada y el otro podría tener un nombre genérico), o bien,  2) dos medicamentos de naturaleza similar  SUGERENCIA: ¡Tenga cuidado de no tomar el mismo medicamento dos veces, ya que podría tener dos frascos del mismo medicamento! SUGERENCIA: Es importante que mantenga una lista completa de cada medicamento, vitamina y remedio a base de hierbas que está tomando.  Por favor, muestre esta lista a su Farmacéutico o su Doctor. La lista ayuda a su Proveedor de atención médica a buscar cualquier efecto no deseado entre los medicamentos y verificar que los dos medicamentos o más actúen bien para su caso.  ¿Qué sucede si mi medicamento es retirado del mercado?   Se puede emitir el aviso de retirar un medicamento del mercado: •    Si este medicamento representa un peligro para la salud: existe algún riesgo para la salud asociado con el medicamento. •    Si este medicamento ha sido etiquetado o empaquetado de manera incorrecta: existe un problema con el suministro de dosificación del medicamento. •    Si este medicamento ha sido mal fabricado: existen defectos relacionados con una calidad deficiente, impurezas y concentración (potencia) incorrecta del medicamento por parte del fabricante. Por favor haga clic aquí para consultar la lista actualizada de las notificaciones de los medicamentos retirados del mercado.  ¿Por qué algunos medicamentos son de “alto riesgo” para los adultos mayores?  Algunos medicamentos pueden ser demasiado fuertes para un determinado grupo de personas y se consideran de “alto riesgo” para ellas. Este grupo especial puede incluir adultos mayores, embarazadas o madres que están amamantando, niños, y pacientes con otras condiciones médicas que afectan los riñones o el hígado. Por ejemplo, ciertos medicamentos recetados para problemas de memoria pueden tener un efecto secundario que causa mareos en algunos adultos mayores que presentan un “alto riesgo” de caídas. En ese caso, sería mejor tomar un medicamento alternativo (o no tomar ningún medicamento) para esta condición.   ¿Dónde puedo encontrar los detalles sobre los medicamentos que podrían ser perjudiciales para las personas mayores? Si usted es mayor de 65 años, pregunte a su Doctor o Farmacéutico si los medicamentos que está tomando podrían no ser adecuados para su caso.  Por favor, consulte la breve lista que se proporciona a continuación de los medicamentos recetados con mayor frecuencia que podrían ser perjudiciales para las personas mayores.    Adultos mayores (65 años o más): Consulte primero a su Doctor antes de tomar estos medicamentos: Puede reducir demasiado su nivel de azúcar en la sangre, sin mejorar la condición Medicamento o Clase de Medicamento Posibles Riesgos Insulina de escala variable Gliburida Puede causar un período prolongado de nivel de azúcar en la sangre excesivamente bajo Relajantes musculares Pueden no ser bien tolerados Barbitúricos Pueden aumentar el riesgo de dependencia y sobredosis Benzodiazepinas (alprazolam, temazepam, lorazepam) Pueden aumentar el riesgo de caídas y fracturas Para más información, visite: https://www.pharmacytoday.org/article/S1042-0991(19)31235-6/fulltext

Member Testimonials - Our Members

group of students from the Inland Empire. More than 30 recipient students grew up in the Inland Empire and more than 50% are first generation medical students and grew up in low-income households. Through the scholarship fund, aspiring healthcare professionals will be guided through the system and connected to the health plan’s provider network. This allows students to pursue successful careers in healthcare immediately after graduation to help support the region’s growing population. Loma Linda University School of Medicine Inland Empire Medical Community Service Awardees Class of 2022 Ye Jin Jeon Ye Jin's Why: “I applied for the Inland Empire Medical Community Service Award because the goal and priority to expand access to care and healthcare provider options for the Southern California region aligns with my calling. As a child growing up in the San Bernardino County, I saw the economic disproportion within my own neighborhood, and this compelled me…God has led me pursue my medical career” Class of 2024 Edwin Choque Edwin's Why: “Simply put, my heart lies in the Inland Empire. This community of individuals have fostered me and loved me since I was a child and all I can hope is to pay that love and care forward. . . . My dream is to be on the front lines as a representative for these individuals who frequently become marginalized…” University of California, Riverside Dean's Mission Recipients Four Year Award Elizabeth Celaya-Ojeda Elizabeth's Why: “I want to work particularly with the underserved in this area because I truly believe that being a physician is a privilege and with that there is a responsibility to be an advocate for those who are facing health disparities. I am particularly interested in providing care to underserved Native American and Hispanic communities. Not many healthcare providers are aware of the disparities these two communities face and I want to be an advocate for them, especially in the Inland Empire.” Alfonso Parocua Alfonso's Why: “Growing up, my family lacked meaningful access to healthcare and relied on a local free clinic as our only means of interacting with a physician. Through my personal experience with the free clinic, I developed a passion for service to the underserved communities who lack meaningful access to basic healthcare amenities due to low socioeconomic status. I sought opportunities that would allow me to pay my gratitude forward by becoming part of the solution to healthcare disparities in Inland Southern California. Through my volunteer efforts in free clinics and other community involvement programs, I witnessed the passion and dedication that health care providers and volunteers in the area have towards the underserved community. This realization deepened my connection to Inland Southern California because I was reminded so much of the health care professionals that helped my family when they couldn't help themselves.” Two Year Award Cesar Fortuna Cesar's Why: “A San Bernardino native, I have had the opportunity to volunteer in my community as a Spanish language translator for free clinics. Most patients I have spoken with fell into the category of uninsured, underinsured, or undocumented. It became clear the extent of need in this region when I would translate to the providers that this was the first-time dozens of our patients had ever seen a medical professional; however, this wasn’t uncommon. To these patients and their stories, I thank them because they inspire me to pursue Emergency Medicine where I can become a valuable player in providing care, providing resources, or providing comfort.” Lavinia Mitroi Lavinia's Why: “My goal of pursuing a career at the intersection of medicine and public health is driven by a desire to put patients and communities at the center of our health care system in the U.S. This desire was sparked most poignantly by my own experiences as an IEHP patient growing up in the Inland Empire. As I prepare for a future career as a pediatrician in this region, I hope to serve as an advocate for children and families, providing direct health services but also creating systems change.” Armando Navarro Armando's Why: “The earliest memory of my grandfather is him telling me, “Mijo, tienes que aprender Español para ayudar tu comunidad, you have to learn how to speak Spanish to help your community”. These words were often repeated to me by my grandfather who lamented the fact that he only spoke Spanish. I witnessed the health disparities affecting my community; doctors who did not speak Spanish, parents who could not afford a trip to the doctors’ office, and a healthcare system that was not inclusive of my community’s culture. I have a duty to give back to a school, a community, that has given me so much.” Christ Ordookhanian Christ's Why: “I see the medical profession through the lens of an individual who had lived through challenging times and witnessed how one individual provider can make such and impact when their heart is in the right place. My dedication to our underserved community stems from that of a lifelong mission I have set for myself which is to ensure I give back to a community that I am deeply associated with, they are my founding roots in the United States, and I vow to be at the forefront of the next generation of physicians that care and give the underserved hope.” University of California, Riverside Dean's Mission Recipients Daphne Du Daphne's Why: “I spent most of my life in underprivileged areas and saw firsthand how difficult healthcare access could be through inadequate financial resources, transportation, or translation services. Thanks to this investment in my studies, there is less stress in my life. I can focus on my studies and eventually give back to the community by becoming a physician who will advocate for patients without meaningful access to health care.” Judith Gonzales Judith's Why: “As a first-generation college student, there have always been many barriers in my path to higher education. I am the eldest daughter of an immigrant family, and it is truly an honor to be able to reach this point in my education and in my career, and to give back to my parents who have sacrificed so much for me and my sisters. Growing up in an underserved community showed me the long-lasting impacts of health inequities and strengthened my resolve to pursue a career in medicine. Working in the Inland Empire, I hope to not only address, but actively work towards combating the health inequity present in our communities.” Jordan Hough Jordan's Why: “Despite disadvantages encountered when living in a low-income community, I am grateful for the privilege I had in meeting physicians dedicated to their practice and willing to share that love through mentorship. These individuals have served as exemplary medical professionals and have encouraged me to follow in their footsteps. As a future physician, I aspire to empathetically care for patients by allowing my past experiences to enhance my understanding of their needs. I also plan to incorporate teaching into patient care by presenting opportunities for students to shadow and be mentored for a career in medicine.” Diana Martinez Diana's Why: “I am the daughter of Mexican Immigrants and grew up in Compton, California where I unfortunately was quickly desensitized to violence and was able to tell the difference between a firework and a gun shot. My mother had to travel a significant distance to ensure we had adequate healthcare. Despite these conditions, my parents always stressed education and did their best to give me what I needed. These life circumstances ignited my passion to serve those in disadvantaged communities, which I interacted with throughout my educational career. The Inland Empire Health Program Scholarship means I can achieve my dream –by practicing medicine in a community that deserves adequate, equitable, and accessible healthcare. I will serve as a bilingual physician in the Inland Empire that can serve families like my own and many more.”
