1 Health TALK FALL 2018 VOLTEE PARA ESPAÑOL! Plan to quit. Every November, the Great American Smokeout asks everyone to quit smoking. You can quit for just that one day. Or it could be the fi rst day of a permanent, healthy change. There is no way to safely use tobacco. Make a plan to quit on November 15. Ask your provider for help quitting. Or call or visit quitnow.net to learn more. Heart smart. Know your cholesterol numbers. Cholesterol is a fatty substance in your blood. HDL is called good cholesterol. LDL is the bad kind. Keeping your cholesterol levels healthy is a great way to keep your heart healthy. High cholesterol raises your risk for heart disease and stroke. Ask your doctor about the right levels for you. Ideal numbers are based on your gender and heart disease risk factors. People with diabetes need to pay close attention to their LDL levels. You can control your cholesterol. A healthy diet and exercise can keep it low. Medication can help lower it if it is too high. UnitedHealthcare Community Plan Southwest Freeway, Suite 800 Sugar Land, TX Get tested. The American Heart Association recommends all adults age 20 or older have their cholesterol checked every 4 to 6 years. People with diabetes or other risk factors should get tested each year.

2 Respecting elders. Know the warning signs of elder abuse. An estimated 5 million seniors are abused or neglected each year. Risk of death for elders who have been abused is 3 times as high when compared with elders who have not been mistreated. Disabled people can also be victims. Elder abuse can affect men or women of any race. Abuse can be verbal, physical, emotional, financial or sexual. It can involve exploitation, neglect, abandonment, or deprivation of food, medication or other needs. It can happen at home or in hospitals or long-term care facilities. Abusers can be anyone. Many elderly or disabled people who are abused suffer in silence. Warning signs of abuse and neglect may include a pattern of: Why test for A1c? If you re diabetic, you know how important it is to check your blood sugar often. That little finger prick gives you a good idea about how well you are controlling your diabetes. But it only tells you about your blood sugar at that moment. Bruises, sores or other injuries. Withdrawal or depression. Sudden change in financial situation. Bedsores, poor hygiene or unexplained weight loss. Frequent arguments with caregivers or loved ones. There is a test your doctor does that gives a more complete picture. It s called A1c, and it provides an average of your glucose over a 6- to 12-week period. It s important to keep your blood sugar controlled over the long term to prevent serious complications. For people without diabetes, normal A1c results are between 4 percent and 6 percent. For people with diabetes, a good A1c result is under 7 percent. You should get this test 2 to 4 times per year to make sure your diabetes is under control. Do you have diabetes? We have programs to help people with diabetes and other chronic conditions. Call Member Services toll-free at , TTY 711, to learn about these programs. 2 HEALTH TALK

3 Members only. Are you due for a Pap test? Cervical cancer usually does not have any symptoms. The way to find out if you have it is with a Pap test. This is a quick and simple test that looks for early signs of cancer. Your doctor uses a brush or swab to collect some cells from your cervix. A lab looks at the cells under a microscope. The American Cancer Society recommends Pap screening for women every three years between ages 21 and 29, then Pap and HPV tests every five years between ages 30 and 65. Testing can end at age 65 for women with a history of normal Pap results. Are you at risk? Talk to your doctor about your risk factors for cervical cancer. Ask if you should begin screenings at a younger age or get them more often. You can get important information about your health plan anytime at myuhc.com/communityplan.

If you have been a member for longer, it s not too late. Is it a stroke? Strokes happen when a blood vessel in the brain bursts or is blocked. This prevents oxygen from getting to the affected part of the brain. Cells in that area of the brain then begin to die. Depending upon which brain areas are affected and how long it was before treatment began, stroke survivors may suffer mild to severe disabilities. There are three simple tasks that can help you determine if someone is having these symptoms. If you suspect someone is having a stroke, ask him or her to: 1. Smile. 2. Raise both arms. 3. Coherently speak a simple sentence. If he or she has trouble performing any of these tasks, call 911 right away. FALL
