The program is designed to help newly diagnosed diabetics deal with the adjustments adjustments that must be made. The program will run the third week of every month for five half days. The adjustments that one must make when diagnosed as diabetic can be very difficult difficult and emotional. To help not only newly diagnosed diabetics, but those who may have had the condition for years, the Memorial Hospital, Bow- manville, is introducing a Diabetes Education Program Program this fall. With a starting date set for September 14, the program program will run the third week of every month for five half days. Diabetes affects the way that the body stores and utilizes food. Of the two types of diabetes, Type I (formerly called juvenile diabetes), and Type II (formerly (formerly called maturity onset), 80 percent of the population that has diabetes diabetes has Type II. It is mainly those people whom the Diabetes Education Education Program is going to help. One aim of the program is the appropriate treatment of adult out-patients with diabetes.

"That means better utilization utilization for the beds that are available, the hospital can fill them appropriately," she added. While the program has taken a lot of work to put together, Mrs. McPherson says that being able to serve people locally will be a key part of the plan. Prior to the implementation implementation of the Diabetic Education Education Program at Memorial Hospital, many people had to travel to Oshawa or Peterborough for information information and treatment. Priority for the program will be given to new diabetics, diabetics, that is those who have been newly diagnosed. The maximum of ten participants participants in the program will allow for individual attention. attention. "It is proven thatyou can't give quality with more than eight to ten people," sais Mrs. McPherson. Quality is really what the program is all about. There will be a team of six members, members, including a diabetes co-ordinator, dietician, pharmacist, physiotherapist, and two specialists, involved in the program. The "multi-disciplinary "multi-disciplinary team" approach is a great asset to the program. Mrs. McPherson explains that some hospitals that run similiar programs only do so with a dietician and a nurse. With the addition of the different medical personnel personnel the participants will have the benefit of information information and advice in many lifestyle areas.

The participants will have a chance to eat with the team members, and practice selecting meals, as well as have an opportunity to ask any questions of the team members. Prior to such a program, many diabetics that became dependent on insulin were hospitalized while they learned how to cope with the condition. "It's hard for people to know how they are going to manage," said Mrs. McPherson, McPherson, referring to newly diagnosed diagnosed diabetics that may have spent time in the hospital. hospital. The hospital atmosphere isn't the same as being on your own. One eats at hospital hospital hours, gets little exercise, exercise, and is removed from a regular schedule of activities. activities. Many diabetics wonder how they will be able to cope once on their own. Mrs. McPherson is hoping that "if people monitor themselves, they have much less chance of being admitted admitted to hospital." Another important aspect of the program is the chance for participants to bring at family member along with them for the week long program. It not bnly serves as support support for the individual, but it also helps the family member learn about diabetes. diabetes. Support also comes from the other group members. Mrs. McPherson says that group members can not only teach each other but they can learn from each other. The program will offer many chances for participation participation from the group members. Participants for the program program must be referred to the; program by their family doctor. "We will have good communications communications with the doc- ' tors," said Mrs. McPherson, adding that reports and any recommendations will be passed on to each participant's participant's physician. As a follow-up to the initial initial program, the group will return one month after the program, and then every three months for a year. "People always need updates," updates," said Mrs. McPherson. McPherson. Though the program is starting off as a monthly venture, there are hopes for expansion. That would involve involve applications to the Ministry of Health, including including statistical evidence that the program is effective. Therefore, team members .will be involved in keeping track of things such as blood sugar and fat levels, and weight loss. Those signs shouldn't be hard to find with the enthusiasm enthusiasm that is surrounding surrounding the upcoming program. When the new hospital facility comes on board, the Diabetes Education Program Program will also enjoy a new location. Even though there is no cure for diabetes, people who have the condition can still take control of their lives. The new Diabetes Education Program at Memorial Hospital, Bowmanvillc, Bowmanvillc, will simply show them how.
