VIRTUAL HEALTH BY LAURIE DAVIES Hysterectomy? There's an App for That One in three women will have a hysterectomy by age 60. One in three cellphone users seeks health information through mobile devices. It only stands to reason there would be overlap between the two groups. Enter, the HysterSisters app. Women seeking hysterectomy support can download the free HysterSisters Hysterectomy Support app for iPhone and Android mobile devices. The app opens up a virtual world of woman-to-woman hysterectomy support, including an online support community, a symptom tracker diary and weekly reminders for preparing and recovering from surgery. Visit hystersisters.com. quiz Be Self-Educated! 46 WINTE R 2 013 Are you at risk for type 2 diabetes? To find out, visit diabetes.org and search for "Diabetes Risk Test." Answer a simple series of questions, then receive a score that helps you better understand your risk. PHOTOGRAPHY BY THINKSTOCK AND HYSTERSISTERS Diabetes education doesn't have to be a lecture. We want people to walk away from diabetes education with useful tools, not a restful nap from being bored! The u.S. Diabetes Conversation Map program is helping millions of people living with diabetes better understand and manage their condition. Designed to be fun, engaging presentations for everyone, these interactive learning tools can help you better understand behaviors associated with effective diabetes self-management. You'll also learn many tips to help you stay healthy, from eating right to getting the appropriate amount of exercise-and much more. Our educators are excited about using this tool in the classroom and so are our patients. Take a look and tell us what you think on our blog at wellness.pcrmc.com. Contributed by Starlyn Reynolds.
