The Carlton Times
Changes in lifestyle can help manage type 2 diabetes, while lifting overall health and energy. Type 2 diabetesis a progressive condition; the body becomes less and less resistant to insulin as time goes on. Not managingdiabetes properly can result in a range of complications such as cardiovascular disease, blindness and kidneydisease. However, it is possible to slow the progress of diabetes through a healthy diet and regular activity.
Improving the quality, and in some instances, reducing the quantity, of food will help control blood sugarlevels and can decrease body weight. The American Diabetes Association broadly recommends focusing oneating more non-starchy vegetables and less starchy foods and meat. The Harvard School of Public Healthrecommends whole grains over highly processed carbohydrates; avoiding sugary drinks; choosing healthy fats(such as olive oil); and limiting red meat consumption.
Physical activity keeps the body in general good health, so no wonder it helps manage diabetes. Exerciseremoves sugars from the blood, by using them to power movement. Diabetes Australia recommends 30minutes of moderate activity five days a week, which is in line with international recommendations.
Regularly monitoring blood glucose is an important step to understand how effectively diabetes is beingmanaged. Monitoring is usually done daily at home with a finger prick.
For those with type 2 diabetes, making simple yet effective lifestyle changes can have a huge impact onlongevity. Managing body weight, regular exercise and healthy eating can help reduce the effect of type 2diabetes on your health.

Everyone's Irish on St. Patrick's Day, and that means everyone -- worldwide.
Somehow a local celebration of a revered holy man became a global celebration.
St. Patrick himself is a sympathetic figure. Most of what is known about the 5th century missionaryand bishop comes from The Confessio -- written by the man himself. In it, Patrick, who is thoughtto have been born in Roman Britain, tells of being kidnapped at 14 by Irish raiders who enslavedhim. Patrick wrote that, after six years as a slave, the voice of God guided him to a ship waiting totake him home. In Britain, he studied to become a priest before returning to Ireland. There heworked miracles and converted thousands to Christianity, famously using a shamrock to explain theHoly Trinity.
Patrick is said to have died in 461 on the 17th of March, a day that became a Christian feast dayin the early 17th century.
It started as a public holiday in a few places - the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, a Britishcolony called Montserrat and two Canadian provinces, Labrador and Newfoundland.
What started small is now a global celebration. In the 21st century, there are celebrations as farafield as New Zealand, Argentina, and Tokyo as well as closer to home in places like New Orleansin the US state of Louisiana and in the Canadian city of Montreal.St

A Poem Shared By Helen August
WHEN moonlight falls on the water,It is like fingers touching the chords of a harpOn a misty day. When moonlight strikes thewater I cannot get it into my poem— 5I only hear the tinkle of ripplings of light.When I see the water’s fingers and the moon’s rays Intertwined, I think of all the words I love to hear And try to find words whiteenough 10 For such shining.

We never cease to be and we never cease to expand (the mind)…the only thing in question is, in THISmoment of expansion, Are you having a joyful moment?” Abraham-Hicks
What I’ve learned in my continuing studies is that God and the Universe is full of positive energy. It isavailable to all of us when we access it with the right attitude along with positive thoughts or words.When we focus on what we want instead of that which we do not want, we are accessing positive,constructive energy. For instance, if we are thirsty and yearning or craving a glass of water, we certainlydo not fill a glass with sand and hope to quench our thirst, do we? No, of course not. We fill the glasswith water and drink. Yet, with most of our desires, prayers, or pleas for change, we fill our “glass withsand.”
We want one thing, but keep asking for the opposite. Many of us really want/need change in our livesbut just can’t figure out why it isn’t happening. For example, when we say, “I’m really worried about -- -“ we’ve set up the negative scene, identified our mood, involved more people by telling them about it(complaining), which gives it more negative energy, and rest assured, it is not going to serve you well.
Another way we focus on negative energy is to say or think, “I remember . . .” and when we do that, ifthe memory is not pleasant or positive, we are reactivating everything that happened and giving it newpowerful energy, and it instantly creates a negative mood. We can choose to be happy or sad, positive ornegative. The responsibility is totally ours. For instance, today I had a most painful experience withsomeone and it fired up all the ingredients for me to create a negative mindset and ruin a perfectly goodweekend. I had to decide if I would allow it to effect me or not. My children called to support me andreminded me that manure is best left on the ground. Bless them. And yes, we all need reminders becausewhen we are deep in the midst of misery we tend to forget about using many of the tools we possess.
The good news is that we don’t have to be a “victim” to circumstances or to what others can activatearound us. Now you can collect the tools you need and begin to practice activating the type of positiveenergy that does serve you well. It’s important to remember that we cannot deactivate negative energy,because when we focus on negative energy, it activates negative energy. We will focus on that which ispositive and good. To quote and/or paraphrase Abraham-Hicks, “When you activate positive, constructive,energy on purpose, you change your point of attraction. And when you change your point of attraction,you change what happens to you.” We want to practice activating positive energy so that we can becomegood at creating this positive energy around ourselves and while we practice getting better and better, westart the process of winning. Eventually it will become easy. Take these simple steps to help you developpositive energy:
1. Breaths deeply – focus on your breathing for several minutes and relax. Breath is life.2. Have an attitude of gratitude and appreciation right before you slumber3. In the morning, assume an attitude of “well-being” no matter how you feel.4. Go about your day expecting the best, focusing on well-being and a loving attitude.5. Be intimately aware of the way that you feel - guide your thoughts so that they are positive and
constructive. If things don’t feel right within you, stop and ask yourself what is making you ornery,aggravated, irritable or disappointed about something. Is it because you aren’t getting what youwant? Are you feeling sorry for yourself? Now laugh at yourself and change your thoughts so youcan enjoy your day.
6. At the end of the day, collect all the good thoughts and actions and put them in a pretendGratitude Box – you may want to write them down in a little notebook so that you can look at themoften and see your list grow. That way you’ll be able to watch yourself develop into a more positiveperson, and who knows, some of those wrinkles may disappear along with the negative thoughts youused to carry around. And make it fun and be joyful.
