American Diabetes Association Working with the National Institutes of Health to Help Prevent Kidney Disease ========================================= Are you at risk for kidney disease? Most people do not know the risk factors. Diabetes and high blood pressure are the two main causes of kidney disease. A family history of kidney failure also increases the risk of developing kidney disease, which affects more than 20 million Americans. African Americans are disproportionately affected, and are four times more likely than Caucasians to develop kidney failure, a result of undetected or untreated kidney disease. That's why the American Diabetes Association is working with the National Kidney Disease Education Program (NKDEP) and it's " You Have the Power to Prevent Kidney Disease " campaign to raise awareness about the seriousness of kidney disease and the importance of testing for those at risk. Early kidney disease has no symptoms. It can lead to kidney failure (requires dialysis or a kidney transplant) with little or no warning. But simple tests can detect kidney disease. If it's found early, doctors can prescribe medication to slow kidney disease or prevent kidney failure. If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of kidney failure, ask your doctor to check your blood or urine for kidney damage. For more information, please call toll-free 1-866-4KIDNEY or visit the NKDEP website.

Study Indicates Aggressive Treatment Helps African Americans with Diabetes, High Blood Pressure ========================================= Data presented at ISHIB 2004, the annual congress of the International Society on Hypertension in Blacks, indicate that African American patients with type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure benefit from aggressive use of combination high blood pressure therapy. The study, " Lotrel and Enalpril in African Americans with Diabetes (LEAAD), " demonstrates that providing patients with a combination of two highly effective medications in one capsule helps them reach the rigorous blood pressure goal of less than 130/80 mm Hg (the measurement scale for high blood pressure).

U.S. Health Secretary Visits Navajo Nation ========================================= On Monday, July 19th, the government's top health official, Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy , pledged more federal funding for health care for the Navajo Nation, where death rates outpace national averages for adults and children - including those related to alcohol, diabetes, TB and influenza. Secretary began a two-day visit to the largest Indian reservation in the country with a meeting with Navajo President Joe Shirley Jr., and a speech to the 88-member Navajo Nation Council. He said he would press for more funding despite a budget strained by the war on terrorism and fighting in Iraq.

Don't Focus on Statins Alone ========================================= Tougher federal guidelines for blood cholesterol levels could lead millions more Americans to take cholesterol-lowering statin drugs. But whether your cholesterol is already too high or you just want to keep it from rising, experts say food and fitness remain key allies in defending against heart disease and stroke. That message tends to get lost in the praise for statins. While their ability to lower cholesterol is impressive, what many consumers overlook is that statins are meant to be used along with a healthy diet and more physical activity.

Educating Immune System May Ease Future Use of Stem Cells ========================================= Results of laboratory experiments by s Hopkins scientists suggest it may be possible to " educate " the immune system to recognize, rather than destroy human embryonic stem cells. Doing so could reduce the risk of rejection if the primitive cells are someday transplanted into people with conditions like Parkinson's disease, diabetes, or spinal cord injuries, the researchers say.

Ophthalmologists Gain New Understanding of Diabetic Retinopathy ========================================= Ophthalmologists have identified thirteen distinct patterns in color vision impairment caused by diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of acquired blindness, which can occur at any time following the onset of diabetes and is preventable with proper examination and treatment. " Our paper describes the patterns of color or hue discrimination impairment we found in diabetic patients enrolled in the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS), " said Fong, M.D., Department of Ophthalmology, Southern California Kaiser Permanente Medical Group, and the UCLA School of Medicine. " About 26 percent of ETDRS patients showed a hue discrimination defect. " Diabetic retinopathy, when retinal blood vessels leak, can occur in advanced or long-term diabetes patients and can affect the macula, a highly sensitive part of the retina responsible for central vision.

Breaking Barriers to American Indian Nutrition Research ========================================= Over the past two years, S. Gray, a postdoctoral scientist, attended powwows and health fairs on reservations and other American Indian communities. With her was a mobile nutrition research laboratory, developed by scientists at the Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center in Grand Forks, North Dakota, to bring nutrition research to underserved populations. Aided by summer interns and graduate students, Gray, of Choctaw and Cherokee descent, collected information about the diets, physical and mental health, physical activity, and access to healthy foods of hundreds of American Indians. American Indians are among the most impoverished of minority groups in America. They experience a disproportionately high incidence of diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. Their rate of diabetes is about three times that of the U.S. population as a whole, approaching 40 to 50 percent in adults. The goal of the research project is to determine the role of nutrition and physical activity in the development and course of diabetes, heart disease, depression, and other health problems faced by these U.S. communities. The researchers anticipate that the resulting data will be useful in designing and implementing effective interventions to improve health and quality of life among American Indians.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 I filled out paper work yesterday and one of the questions was do you get depressed, I said yes. But I won't take a pill for it. Did too much damage for my husband. I know when I keep active and try to keep good thoughts moving I am fine. I am learning so much this year that there are times I just sit down and do nothing. That helps. I am striving for a job and I know if I do well I will be fine. --Dar --Every Saint has a Past, Every Sinner has a Future information > > I went to a diabetic conference in L.a. yesterday.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Thanks so much, I am trying. That is for sure. Just trying to make sure folks don't keep putting road blocks in my way. Taking cabs to the doctor is twelve dollars a trip. Getting way to high when they want me to go several times a month. --Dar --Every Saint has a Past, Every Sinner has a Future information > > >> >> I went to a diabetic conference in L.a. yesterday.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 You don't have to be a senior or retarded to qualify for the paratransit system services. If you are legally blind, then you would qualify. I used this services for many years, and I can tell you without a doubt that it is a very good service, and it is a lot cheaper than a taxi. Of course if you have plenty of money, the taxi would be more convenient to use at all times. information >>> >>> >>>> >>>> I went to a diabetic conference in L.a. yesterday.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 You don't have to be a senior or retarded to qualify for the paratransit system services. If you are legally blind, then you would qualify. I used this services for many years, and I can tell you without a doubt that it is a very good service, and it is a lot cheaper than a taxi. Of course if you have plenty of money, the taxi would be more convenient to use at all times. information >>> >>> >>>> >>>> I went to a diabetic conference in L.a. yesterday.
