Risk always present for diabetic people by ALLEYNE ATTWvOD The Complications of Diabetes was the subject of the video cassette presentation to a very good turnout of members of the local Diabetes Association at Georgian Manor recently. The _ film probes the feelings and attitudes of nine diabetics in a round table gathering, as well as discussing the complications from high blood sugar with which they each have to cope. From this resume it would appear to be a rather frightening presentation but it was done with sympathy, humour and in a very positive way. Complications, the local group were told, are always a risk of diabetes. The most important of these in- volves blood vessels' both smalland large. Diabetes is charac- terized by a thickening and degeneration of the walls of the very small blood vessels all over the body. In the eye, these changes lead to a Camera Club meets twice in February Midland and District Camera Club holds its first of two meetings in February on Feb. 3. Karl Berdan is in charge of the program. On Feb. 19, Janet and Doug Phillips are responsible for the -- program. Feb. 3's competition is a photographer's choice (regional). The second competition of the month is of photo essays. Camera Club meeting's begin in the Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre at 7:30 p.m. weakening and bulging of the tiny blood vessels, showing up as micro- aneurysms. However these changes do not occur early nor do they occur in all diabetics. The news is made better by recent advances in treatment which can further delay possible loss of eyesight. A similar process occurs in the kidneys, in the heart, in the feet and legs, resulting in poor skin health, an increased risk of in- fection and poor healing following injury, to the skin. Small vessel disease in the brain can lead to minor strokes. This presents a rather dismal picture but the group facilitator in the film had been insulin dependent for 42 years, but, outside of some mild peripheral neuropathy of the toes, and having laser treatment for her eyes, resulting in no visual loss, she lives a very normal, healthy life. In the film she expresses the fact that living successfully with diabetes is being willing to make the necessary compromises its management demands in order to feel well. The point that was made by all those taking part was that, although living with com- plications is a difficult process, it is not the end of life. If a person can accept himself for what he is despite an im- pairment, he can learn to utilize his potential Page 4, Tuesday, January 28, 1986 and cope with each day as it comes. Hope is a very vital element in adjustment to difficult life and is a great motivating factor in recovery. In this regard the support of one's family is very important. This does not mean overprotectiv- eness: this attitude by the family can diminish the person's feeling of selfworth. With the knowledge that the complications arise from high levels of blood sugar, the first aspect of learning to cope, is to learn how to keep the blood sugar as close to normal as possible. Counselling by doctors, in diabetes' clinics, through support groups such as the Diabetes Association, and most importantly be educating oneself through the excellent material that is available, are all ways of doing this. smoking, by following a diet plan, be reducing if overweight, are all ways of delaying complications. Following the meeting over coffee and light refreshments, members had an opportunity to discuss the film, and themselves, with each other, as well as professionals who are members of the local association. The next meeting is in March. The date will be announced in com- munity news and on cable tv. A meeting of the executive is held the first Thursday of each month and any member is most welcome to attend. Place, the board room of Penetang Hospital. The executive would be very pleased to hear your views regarding the Association. Any ideas for future programs or needs of members would be welcome. eF acial hair removed eBikini line restored 255 Midland Ave. eEye Brows arched & shaped eHairline permanently contoured eArms, legs, chest and back hair removed Medically approved safe & effective Short Wave Method Free Consultation & Test Prevention of high For further in- blood sugar, by formation regarding becoming an informed CDA, call Fran Moreau diabetic, by not (549-7441).
