Stumbling block removed for drivers with diabetes The American Diabetes Association strongly applauded the Federal Highway Administrations (FHWA) derision to begin a trial period for waiving the restriction preventing individuals with diabetes mellitus (IDDM) from qualifying for a commercial drivers license. The Association filed a petition with the FHWA in 1986 requesting a change to the ruk and called for mediestablishing a cal certification process for drivers with diabetes. The newly created waiver procees will evaluate drivers using criteria suggested by the American Diabetes Association. Drivers deemed eligible and granted a waiver will be monitored for a three-yea- r period. Information gathered during this trial period will be used to make a final ruling on this issue. The waiver process is a direct result ofthe Associations close work with the FHWA "The Federal Highway Administration has taken an impotent first step in alkwingqualified drivdiabeers with tes to practice their livelihood. said William K.

The Utah Safety Council reminds you to change the batteries in your smoke detectors and test them to make sure they are working properly. By getting into the habit of dianging your batteries at this time, you will always know how old tha batteries are. If you havent yet felt the need to purchase smoke detectors, hopefiilty this will convince you. It is a myth that you can smell smoke and wake up on your own. Fires produce toxic gases, someof which you cant smell, which often kill peopk long before the fire roaches them. In 1992, there were nine peopk killed in Utah fires, none of which had working smoke detectors in their homes.

It is a serious disease in which the body does not produce or respond to insulin, a hormone needed for daily life. Tha resulting high blood sugar can severely damage the heart, blood vessels, kid-- : nays, eyes, and nerves. If left untreated, diabetes can lead to death.
