Today is World Diabetes Day.
Language around diabetes is critical to end diabetes stigma, blame and shame. There are too many rumours and misinformation around diabetes. We need to adapt how the media, organisations, policy makers and the wider public talk about it.

It is cold and flu season 🦠

What is Normal vs. Fever Temperature 🤒

Although the average normal body temperature is 37°C (98.6°F), temperatures naturally rise and fall throughout the day. It is not uncommon to wake up in the morning with a relatively low temperature of 36.3°C (97.4°F) which rises to 37.6°C (99.6°F) by the late afternoon. Your child has their own normal temperature range which may be slightly different from another child. However, temperatures rising above the following thresholds may be indicative of a fever.

Remember, if your baby is under 3 months of age and has a temperature of 38.0°C (100.4°F) or higher, you should call your doctor right away. In younger babies, it’s important to check for infection or disease when a fever arises.

What temperature indicates a FEVER?

Orally 🤒
Higher than 37.5°C (99.5°F)

In the Ear 👂
Higher than 38.0°C (100.4°F)

In the Re**um
Higher than 38.0°C (100.4°F)

Armpit
In the Armpit
Higher than 37.3°C (99.1°F)

This is a time to recognize the important work occupational therapists do in helping Canadians overcome physical, mental and cognitive barriers. With the help of OTs, Canadians can participate fully in the activities that mean most to them.

🛋Self-care - getting dressed, eating, moving around the house,
👩‍💻Being productive - going to work or school, participating in the community, and
🏌🏾Leisure activities - sports, gardening, social activities.

And are working towards providing IV Remdesivir in clinic as well as Evushield injections in the near future.

In addition to COVID testing we also offer rapid strep tests, pertussis swabs, and are applying for influenza swab abilities. We are able to assess and provide treatment for other causes of URTI symptoms such as sinusitis, strep pharyngitis, bronchitis, pneumonia etc as these may present similarly to COVID symptoms.
We are offering these services to all patients who do not have currently have a primary care provider. Patients with a primary care provider must contact their provider first, however can be assessed if they are unable to get an appointment or can be referred by their primary care provider to the clinic. The goal of the clinic is to provide an alternative to ER or urgent care for patients experiencing URTI symptoms requiring evaluation and enhance access for those who may qualify for antiviral treatment.
