10 million have diabetes in USA

More than 10 million people in the United States are estimated to have diabets. To many people diabetes is a mysterious disease that will not allow a person toeat sugar. In actuality, diabetes is much more Sugars, starches and other foods are converted in the body to a form of sugar called glucose. The bloodstream distributes this glucose to the body cells where, with the aid of insulin, it is converted to ready energy or stored for future use. Insulin is a natural hormone produced by the pancreas. a large gland located behind the stomach. When diabetes develops, the body either does not produce enough insulin or may not be able to use what is produced. Without insulin, glucose accumulates in the blood until some of the surplus is eliminated by the kidneys and passed off m the urine. Hence, sugar in the urine and too much sugar in the blood are signs of diabetes. Also, there is evidence that the high sugar level in blood directly causes damage to eyes, kidneys and nerves. Diabetes affects all ages. It cannot be cured, but it can be controlled. With proper treatment most diabetics learn to live active, normal lives. Proper treatment includes diet, exercise and insulin. Diet means more than just limiting the amount of food eaten It is very important for a diabetic to eat at certain intervals. The diabetic diet is composed of an exchange group system. Each food is assigned an exchange rate. For instance, one slide of bread equals one and a half cups of corn. In order for the diet to be successful, the diabetic must add up his exchanges and follow his prescribed intake of calories.

This is no less true today than it was for our ancestors. It would make good sense to thoughtfully consider and formulate acceptance of one’s finality. Perhaps some quiet moments, alone in the appreciation of life and all its possibilities, would aid in this most sobering thought. Sharing your views with a close friend, or loved one. can aid in consolidating your feelings. In this way. a most important aspect of life hos been confronted, and your thoughts have been make known. In accepting one’s immortality it helps to feel that the final tribute will be in accordance with one’s preferences. At HARRIS FUNERAL HOME. SR 13 and CR 1000 N, we are available to discuss and assist in preplanning such details. We offer considerations os to the type of service, the surroundings and even the comforting extras to family and friends. If you wish to discuss that which concerns you please call us. Tel- 457-3144.

the Bowl-For-Life will be contributed to Saint Jude Childrens Research Hospital through a name. Volunteers are needed to bowl and to register scores. Each point scored represents a contribution to Saint Jude Children's Research Hospital in its battle against childhood cancer and other catastrophic diseases. In the Bowl-For-Life bowlers ask sponsors to donate a minimum of one cent for each point scored in three games. Bowlers who obtain multiple sponsors are recognized by receiving a Saint Jude bowling towel for collating from M> sponsors, a bowling towel and a Saint Jude T-shirt for 20 sponsors. and a bowling towel. T-shirt and a Saint Jude windbreaker jacket for 30 sponsors. Sponsor forms are available at the Wawasee Bowl.

Exercise is equally important for a diabetic. It helps to utilize glucose effectively, which decreases the amount of insulin needed. Exercise also increases blood circulation to all parts of the bod)’. Exercise helps control weight, relieves stress and tension and is part of the balance system that keeps diabetics healthy. There are two types of diabetics. Those who are insulin dependent, who need daily doses of insulin in order for their bodies to function properly; and those who by controlling their diet can function normally without medication. Insulin comes in the form of injection. It must be given through this manner, as it is destroyed by the mouth's digestive fluids if taken orally. Goshen Hospital is offering a free educational course on February 7,8 and 9, at 7 p.m. For more information call the education department Unit Mt tn open Auxiliary president Dee Watson welcomed new officers and chairmen at the January 24 meeting of the Elkhart Hospital Auxiliary.
