Many Dr. Van Dellen local medical groups are cooperating with civic and public health organizations in devel- oping an effective diabetes tection program. de-- . Sooner the Better The sooner diabetes is detected, the better the outcome. Most persons consult a physician when they develop constant thirst, an insatiable appetite, frequent urination, changes in vision, drowsiness, and fatigue. These are the common symptoms that usually develop months or years after the disease begins. By this time the condition has a good start. Most detection plans are aimed at the hidden case. It is believed that half of all those with diabetes are in this category. Likely Candidates The most likely candidates are the old, the obese, and those with a family history of diabetes. The same applies to anyone having the symptoms mentioned previously. Urine and blood tests for sugar are the surest ways of detecting diabetes. The urine test is the least reliable, especially the specimen obtained before breakfast. A better sample is obtained two hours after the main meal of the day because it is more likely to show sugar. By the same token, a blood test two hours after a large meal is more revealing than that obtained before breakfast. A sugar toler ance test is the most accurate. What is so magic about the timing? The normal individual has enough insulin by the end of two hours to process the carbohydrates consumed in a meal. The amount of sugar in the blood goes up shortly after eating but returns to normal values (110 mg. or less) within 120 minutes. This does not occur to the diabetic and to , potential or The content of sugar in the blood rises shortly after eating and still is above normal two hours later. In addition, some of the sugar is excreted into the urine and c?n be detected tiie urine and can be detected in the two-hospecimen. Mrs. C.

Supervised Play When school ends at 3:30, and Johnny, whose mother works, has no place to go, he can either stay around his own school or walk to another one in his neighborhood, which a lighted will be called schoolhouse.

If Johnny has an older brother in the 1 age group, who cant find a job because he cant read or write well enough and hasnt been trained to do anything, he has something to look forward to as well.

You cant put a in the sixth grade, where he might belong. What you could do is hire a store. What he wants is dignity, but he doesnt know how to say it. In our society, dignity means having a job.

Nothing produces greater pressure than to feel driven to success at a task in which a person feels inadequate. Trying Too Hard? The child described in the letter is trying, with doubtful success, to cover her lack of learning skills with hard work. The solution in this case is not to try talking her out of her drive for perfection. What this child needs is help! She needs help in discovering more efficient ways of attacking each of her studies. She must learn to complete her work easily and rapidly, leaving time not only for enough sleep but for recreation as well. it here down the front of my dress.
