Problem: Article: You don’t want anything to remain that could scuff the surface. Keep a bucket nearby to place damp rags and sponges. You may need to get this at a specialty cleaning store. Since you shouldn’t use large amounts of water on laminate, you usually have to use harsh chemicals to remove film. Apply liberally and clean with scrap rags. You may be able to employ a non-stick scrubber sponge or #0000 steel wool to bring up tough film. It takes plenty of hard work to get the Mop and Glo up. However, once you’ve removed it, you can use water and a microfiber cloth to clean your laminate flooring.
Summary: Vacuum the laminate floor to remove dust and debris. Purchase some chemical stripping gloves to use in this process. Purchase full strength acetone to clean the film. Open all the windows as you ready the space for Mop and Glo removal. Pour the acetone in a spray bottle. Don’t use harsh brushes on a laminate floor. Scrub hard until the film is renewed and your floor shines.

Problem: Article: There is no way to determine if a woman is going to get gestational diabetes before she is pregnant.  But there are certain risk factors that may indicate a higher probability in some women.  If you’re planning to get pregnant, or you are pregnant, review these risk factors and speak to your doctor about possible testing when the time is right.   Age. Women who are 25 years of age or older are at a higher risk or developing gestational diabetes.  Medical history. You are also at a higher risk if you have a personal history of diabetes, PCOS, insulin resistance, or history of diabetes in your immediate family. In these cases, you should be screened for gestational diabetes at the beginning of your pregnancy.  Previous pregnancies. Get screened for gestational diabetes at the beginning of your pregnancy if you have had gestational diabetes before or if you delivered a macrosomic (larger than average) baby, then you are at a higher risk of developing gestational diabetes.  Weight. Obese women with a body mass index (pre-pregnancy) of 30 or higher are at a higher risk of developing gestational diabetes and should be screened for gestational diabetes at the beginning of any pregnancy.  Ethnicity. Black, Hispanic, Indigenous peoples, and Asians have a higher risk factor for gestational diabetes. Throughout your pregnancy, record any medical symptoms you may experience, especially those your doctor has asked you to track.  This information may be useful to your doctor in diagnosing gestational diabetes at a later date.  Some symptoms (and other items) to keep track of include:  Excessive thirst and urination. Birth weights of previous children. Details on when you’ve lost or gained significant weight in the past. Before any doctor’s appointment it’s always useful to write down any and all medications (prescription and over-the-counter) you current take.  Having a written list will help ensure you don’t forget anything, and will allow you to easily remember the exact dosage of each medication that you take. Remember to include medications you take on a regular basis (i.e. daily) and medications you take as needed (e.g. when you have specific symptoms). Depending on the type of screening test that is going to be performed, there may be specific restrictions you have to follow in the 24 hours leading up to the appointment.  Make sure you are fully aware of what these restrictions are — and that you following them as instructed — to ensure your test is not delayed. For example, some blood glucose tests must be performed after the patient has fasted for 12 hours. However, most blood glucose tests that are performed during pregnancy are non-fasting. It is highly likely that you have been reading pregnancy books or websites and have a lot of questions floating around in your head.  To be sure you remember them all, write them down before your doctor’s appointment.  Some example questions related to gestational diabetes are as follows:  What websites do you recommend I view in order to get reputable and relevant information pertaining to my condition? If I have to change my diet, is there someone that can help me (e.g. dietician, nurse, etc)? How will we know when and if I need to take medication?  What type of medication might I need to take? Will I need to check my blood sugar level regularly? Will I continue to have diabetes after the baby is born?  Will I need to do additional screening tests?  What potential complications might exist during my pregnancy, and what can we do to lower those risks as much as possible? If your doctor sends you for the second gestational diabetes test, called the glucose tolerance test, you will be required to remain at the clinic or office for at least 3 hours.  During this time you will not be permitted to eat or drink anything (except maybe water) and you will likely not be allowed to leave the premises. You may want to bring something to keep you occupied during this time, as it will likely be rather boring.
Summary: Consider your risk factors before and immediately after you’re pregnant. Monitor and record your symptoms. List all your current medications. Confirm any pre-appointment restrictions. Write down any and all questions you have for your doctor. Prepare to keep yourself occupied.
