Diabetes mellitus is a major health problem in the United States. One out of twenty people has diabetes or will develop it during his lifetime. An estimated 400,000 Chicago and Northern Illinois residents have diabetes, but 60 percent remain undetected. Diabetes develops when the body cannot make use of certain foods, especially sugars and starches (car­ bohydrates) The most common symptoms are ex­ cessive thirst, frequent urination, constant hunger, loss of weight, itching, tendency to tire easily, changes in vision, and slow healing of cuts and scratches. But some people have diabetes with none of these symptoms. Anyone may become diabetic but the condition is found more often in people: with diabetic relatives; over forty years of age; women, more often than men; and overweight. Many people do not think diabetes is a serious problem. In fact, it can take lives if it is not properly controlled.

It is the leading cause of new cases of blindness, the fifth leading cause of death by disease, and a major cause in cardio-vascular problems. Neglect of diabetes may lead to increased risk of hardening of the arteries, cerebral hemorrhage, kidney disease, gangrene and diabetic coma. Our goal is to find and alert as many as possible of the more than 200,000 undetected diabetics in Chicago and Northern Illinois, and at the same time to remind the public what the early indications of diabetes are and why early detection and proper control are important. Earlier detection, followed by prompt medical advice and proper care, improve the diabetic's chances to lead a longer, healthier, more productive life. National Diabetes month is coordinated by the American Diabetes Association, Greater Chicago and Northern Illinois Affiliate, 620 North Michigan avenue, Chicago, a voluntary health organization attempting to provide services for the estimated 400,000 area diabetics. A special detection phone, 943-1757, will be installed until Nov. 27. * * * * > Was that new outfitreal- ly worth the money? SERVICE NEWS Marine^ Lance Corporal Roland E.
