Prevention & Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Type 2 diabetes is a chronic health problem characterized by the

abnormal metabolism of sugar, or glucose. Insulin is an important hor- mone that is responsible for moving glucose into body cells. Persons affected by type 2 diabetes do not respond properly to body insulin, or do not produce enough insulin. Common symptoms of the condition include increased thirst, increased hunger, and unexplained weight loss. Fatigue and blurred vision also may occur. Those who arc ov erw eight or arc inactive are at a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Weight loss and increase in physical activity are recommended for the prevention of type 2 diabetes. A low carbohydrate or low-fat calorie- restricted diet may be recommended. Metformin (Glucaphage) is com- monly prescribed for persons with this type of diabetes. This medication decreases the production of glucose by the liver. Sulfonylurea medica- tions, such as glipizide (Glucotrol), increase the production of insulin. Dipeptidyl-peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitor medications, such as sitagliptan (Junuviu), also increase the production of insulin. It is recommended that persons with type 2 diabetes should also receive the pneumococcal vaccine and the influenza vaccine each year.

Responding To Your Child's Nightmare

Children often need reassur- ance after having nightmares. Unfortunately, you may not al- ways be there when they have bad dreams, such as at a sleepover or at overnight camp.

According to the National Sleep Foundation, a security ob- ject such as a favorite stuffed ani- mal or a blanket can help a child feel relaxed and safe in bed.

Another thing that can help is a relaxation technique.

For example, havingyour child imagine a relaxing scene, such as being on the beach or watching a sunset, can help him or her relax after a scary dream.

called Gloria Hurd home at 10:56 a.m. on December 27.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Ervin Hurd, Sr.; mother and father, Elza and Lula Glenn; one sister, Daisy Smallwood; and three brothers, Willie Glenn, Elza Glenn, Jr. and Andrew Glenn.

Left to cherish her memories one son, Ervin Hurd, Jr. (Cla- rice) of Las Vegas, Nevada; one daughter, Jean Evelyn Kirks of Texas City; nine grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; one sis- ter, Mattie Banks of San Antonio; one brother, Leon Glenn (Pearl) of Port Arthur; two sisters-in-law, Ester Glenn of Columbus and Era Mae Glenn of San Antonio; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Funeral services were held Saturday, January 2 at 1 p.m. from Mount Olive Baptist Church in Eagle Lake with Rev. Dave Curry, pastor, officiating. Burial followed in Union Hill Cemetery in Matthews.

Another life celebration by Ben Davis Funeral Home of Co- lumbus.

Pallbearers were Ervin Hurd, III "Trip", Andrew Smallwood, Kevin Glenn, James Smallwood, Carl Hurd, Connie Hurd, Stan- ley Smallwood, Jerry Hurd and Wayne Whitehead.

Honorary pallbearers were Leon Glenn, Ernest Smallwood, Joseph Glenn, Willie Glenn and Curtis Smith.

Sympathy is extended to the family in their loss.

The John Everett Chapter Daughters of the American Revo- lution held their Jan meeting in the home of Carolyn Hastedt in Columbus.

Regent Randa Simmons con- ducted the business at hand. Secretary Joan Matthews and Treasurer Ann Warner gave their reports. Randa was elected to represent the chapter as Delegate at the March State Conference in Houston. She also introduced her guest, Claire Turner, now of New Ulm, who is a member of the John McKnitt Alexander Chapter in Houston.

Mary Lynn Skinner came dressed as a combination of Colonial women including Mar- tha Washington, Martha Jef- ferson, Abigail Adams and Molly Pitcher. Her program was "They

Wore Skirts in 1776." She told how styles changed from wide hoops under their skirts to quilted petticoats, elaborately stitched but never revealed. She gave members a peek at her woolen stockings and lace up boots and was glad the women of that era decided to trade their powdered high bouffant hairdos for tucking their locks under a ruffled cap. Members agreed women have come a long way since then as they all were dressed in slacks - not a skirt in sight.

Carolyn, Sonya Saul and Ann Warner served refreshments. The Feb meeting will be at First Baptist Church in Columbus. The chapter will honor 5 Good Citizens from Columbus, Rice, Weimar, Hallettsville and Sacred Heart, Hallettsville High Schools.

Food Manager Training Course Offered Feb. 8 & 9

Statistics indicate that food- borne illness continues to be a health issue in the United States.

Each year, 1 in 4 Americans will become sick 1 in 1,000 will be- come hospitalized, and 5,000 will die due to a foodborne illness.

If under the Texas Depart- ment of State Health Services (DSHS) jurisdiction each food establishment is required to have one certified food manager on site.

Many of you have already received a letter from the Texas Department of

State Health Services regard- ing this. Under these new rules, each food establishment permit- ted by the Texas Department of State Health Services must have one certified food manager.

New food manager certificates will be valid for 5 years.

Texas AgriLife Extension Service of Fayette & Washington County are offering a food manag- er certification training course.

This program will be offered for $110 on February 8 & 9, 2010 at the Washington County Fair- ground's VIP Room.

Cost includes framing, materi- als, and the State food manager certification examination.

This program is designed to not only prepare foddservice managers to pass the certifica- tion examination; it will provide valuable education regarding the safe handling of food.

Almost 50 cents of every dol- lar Americans spend on food is spent on meals prepared away from home.

Therefore, careful attention to food safety will help keep custom- ers safe and satisfied.

Foodborne illnesses are esti- mated to cost thousands of dol- lars in lost wages, insurance, and medical bills.

With these statistics, knowl- edge of how to prevent foodborne illness is essential.

The benefits of improved food safety include:

D Increased customer satis- faction

D Improved relationships with health officials

D Prevention of bad publicity and law suits due to foodborne

illness

By attending the course, foodservice managers will learn about:

Q identifying potentially haz- ardous foods and common errors in food handling

□ preventing contamination and cross-contamination of food

0 teaching and encouraging personal hygiene for employees

□ complying with government regulations

Q maintaining clean utensils, equipment and surroundings

Q controlling pests

Foodborne illnesses can be prevented by following simple food safety practices.

New Ways For Teens To Beat Acne Given

With teens wanting to look their best and as many as 80 percent suffering from acne, it's no surprise many are taking advantage of new technologies and treatments to battle the condition.

Several promising new thera- pies recently have emerged that attack acne from different per- spectives - including treatments that harness new light technolo- gies, digestibles that treat the problem from the inside, and full- scale regimens that get rid of acne as part of overall skin health.

Here are some new approach- es that have distinguished them- selves from the plethora of treat- ments filling teen magazines and late night infomercials:

* Using advanced LED light therapy originally researched by NASA, the new ANSR: Acne Care System is a revolutionary way to combat breakouts and skin issues. Acne sufferers use a portable at- home device, dubbed BEAM, that uses photo light therapy combined with a topical skin care regimen. Together they penetrate and heal the skin gently and without side
