Hospital Clinics Off er Hope for Diabetics The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville. November 29,1989 13- The aim of the health care team approach at the hospital is to teach both types of diabetics how to li ve healthy lives with the disease. disease. Mrs. McPherson cm pa- sized that the diabetic is in "the driver's scat" when it comes to control. He or she is the one who decides what foods to eat. how much exercise to do and how to react to stress. The clinic helps people learn to make "informed decisions" decisions" about what they do. The physiotherapist, for example, talks about the value of exercise and discusses discusses the need of taking extra extra food to compensate for the exercise. The pharmacist provides information that a diabetic needs to know and understand understand -- information such as how insulin works, the onset of the action of tne insulin and the time until peak effect. effect. Mrs. McPherson stresses the importance of treating the entire individual.

Mrs. McPher- lati son said clients in the diabetes clinic learn the most from the informal one-on-one moments such as this. by Andrea Adair Controlling diabetes is similar to putting a jigsaw puzzle together. Your can't see the picture until all the pieces are in place. Likewise, all areas of the diabetic's life have to be considered considered when he is learning to control the condition. Food consumption, exercise, exercise, stress and illness can all effect the disease and cause problems for the diabetic diabetic controlling it. With this in mind, Memorial Memorial Hospital Bowmanville offers monthly educational clinics for diabetics run by a team of health care professionals. professionals. A diabetes nurse coordinator, coordinator, a dietician, a pharmacist, a physiotherapist, physiotherapist, a social worker and two medical consultants all play a role in educating both new and older diabetics. Last year, over 900 people from the Town of Newcastle went through the program. Jennifer McPherson, the diabetes nurse co-ordinator at the clinic, thinks the .team approach to treating diabetes is one of the best ways of treating the disease. "There are so many things that affect diabetes control that you have to take a holistic approach to dealing dealing with it," she said. "It is like all the pieces of the puzzle fitting in...you can control it up to a point but unless you put all the pieces together it's not going to work as well." Diabetes is a condition where a person's body is un able to produce the insulin needed to turn blood sugar into energy. When cells in the body don't get enough insulin, insulin, blood sugar and fat levels in the body increase. Blindness, kidney failure, heart disease and stroke are some of the potential complications complications of diabetes if it isn't properly controlled. Approximately one out of 20 Canadians have one of two types of diabetes and it's been estimated that half of the people who have the disease disease are unaware of it. There are two types of di-. abetes. When one type occurs, occurs, the diabetic must have daily insulin injections to live. The second type is controllable controllable through diet and exercise. ation if we want to be effective," effective," she says. She mentioned an example example of a client who was having having financial problems. The person wasn't covered under CHIP and it was difficult to buy medication or the proper proper food to control the disease. disease. The social worker, in that case, in addition to providing providing stress management techniques, techniques, offers suggestions and directs the person to the appropriate resources for "If you're missing that in your assessment of the person person ... it doesn't matter what you teach them if they can't afford the treatment," Mrs. McPherson stated. She estimates that 24 hours are spent teaching, with some of the most valuable valuable information being shared during coffee breaks and mealtimes. Questions evolve naturally naturally as the coffee break occurs. Another benefit from the clinic, she said, is through the support of the client's peers in the program. "Sometimes that is more powerful than the health care professionals," Mrs. McPherson said. They are able to overcome overcome their sense of isolation and can share what they are going through with someone in the same situation. They start to think they can make it through too, she concluded. Clients in the week-long clinic are accepted through referral of the attending Fraternal Groups Gather for Brotherhood Night The community's fraternal organizations held their annual "Brotherhood Night" on Tuesday, November 21, at St. Joseph's Church, in Bowmanville. Groups attending the meeting were: Knights of Columbus, Orange Lodge, Masons, Canadian Foresters, and Independent Independent Order of Oddfellows.

We are afraid to eat this or to drink that; afraid to walk the streets or ride the subway, for fear of being robbed, raped or murdered.

The Bible says: "Give beer to those who are perishing, perishing, wine to those who are in anquish; let them drink and forget their poverty and remember remember their misery no more."

South Africa, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Afghanistan, El Salvador, the Gaza Strip (just to name a few), are illustrations of what is meant. Naturally (and rightly rightly so), the citizens of each country wish to preserve their tradition, culture, and mother tongue. The Bible says we are to treat the alien alien within our gates (this means any country) with respect respect and justice (Leviticus 19; 33,34). It also says that the alien MUST OBEY THE LAWS OF THAT LAND (Leviticus (Leviticus 24:22). If this is not adhered to, it can cause conflict, conflict, resentment, endless demonstrations and confrontations. confrontations. In spite of man's efforts efforts to change our world into a law-abiding, peaceful habitation, it cannot be achieved until we follow (obey) the two greatest commandments commandments which are written written in the Bible (Matthew 2: 34-40).
