Know the Early Signs of DiabetesDiabetes is a life changing condition that affects an individual’s ability to produce and/or use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is produced when blood levels of glucose rise beyond a certain threshold. Its job is to instruct the body to absorb that glucose where it can then be used to provide energy for various activities and/or be stored as fat.

Sugar can be destructive when it is allowed to build up, causing nerve damage and more. If blood sugar is not managed, patients can risk losing limbs, vision or going into shock or coma.

The following are early signs of diabetes:

The good news is that diabetes is highly manageable. What’s crucial is that you are able to spot the signs of diabetes early. Know the warning signs and if there are additional questions and/or concerns, always check with your physician.

• Fatigue•Hunger•Constant urination•Thirstiness•Blurred vision•Headaches

• Insomnia•Mood changes•Yeast infection• Slow healing • Pain and numbness

In today’s society it is said that we have forsaken the village for the metropolis, turning our neighbors into strangers, and losing the word “community” from our lexicon.

We see things differently...

2019 FUNDRAISING: Diabetes Research

DIABETES & NUTRITION – A GREAT LEARNING EXPERIENCEThe presentation about ways to a living healthy with Diabetes was full of helpful tips and guidelines. Both speakers, registered dietitian Julia Migone and diabetes educator Colleen Symanski shared their wealth of knowledge and participants asked some interesting questions. We are sharing some of the information throughout this and future Bulletins.

LOOK AT LABELS. Foods and additives ending in “ol” are sugar-based (glycol, sorbitol, etc.)
