November is Carbon Monoxide (CO) Safety Awareness Month and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, Michigan Licensing and Regulatory Affairs and Michigan State Police remind residents of the dangers of CO and urge them to take preventive steps to protect themselves and their loved ones.

“Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that you cannot see, taste or smell – but it can be deadly when you breathe it in,” said Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian, chief medical executive. “Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include headache, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, confusion and shortness of breath. I urge families to have working carbon monoxide detectors in their homes to help prevent tragedies.”

Blood glucose levels matter for newborns, but the standard A1C test used to check longer-term glucose control in adults cannot be used for newborns. High or low glucose levels can affect the developing eyes and have been identified as a risk factor for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), a leading cause of childhood blindness.
