From the Editors
Desk:
This week we are starting a new section
called “TOOLS”.
This will be a permanent section and will be archived under
“Education”
that will have information on new educational and motivational
products that you can use in your diabetes education program,
that will usually be free of charge. We will review the
product for you and give you the information necessary for you
to receive the product“Getting to the Heart of Diabetes”
sponsored by AHA and ADA, is our first tool. If you have any
information on tools that you use for your patients and you
would like to share that with us, please email us at editor@diabetesincontrol.com
Ginger Kanzer- Lewis shares her ideas on
The
“Why” Questions. Why doesn’t every health care
provider know these basic standards of care? Why doesn’t every
patient have A1c tests done every three months? Why isn’t
every patient referred to a diabetes educator? Why?
See an actual case study of how
monochromatic, near infrared photo energy (MIRE) can improve

submitted to us by the Chesapeake
General Hospital Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine
Center.

Super-sized “DIABETES”
It's Saturday afternoon
at the shopping mall and the Weathervane is teeming with
customers. Good
prices and a convenient location make the restaurant a popular
place for families, but the real draw is its trademark -
gigantic portions of food. Customers choose from
huge servings of fish, massive hamburgers and piles of French
fried potatoes. "Small" sodas are actually large, and "large"
drinks hold more than a liter. There is no limit to the rolls
and pickles, and rich cakes and sundaes awaiting those who
still have room. Many do.

“Tools” for
Your Practice:
There is a lot of stuff out there that can be
helpful to educate patients with diabetes. It is hard
sometimes to review and order materials only to find out that
after you receive it that it is not appropriate for your
patients. So, we at Diabetes In Control will be
reviewing new materials that will usually be free of charge
and let you know how you can obtain them to help educate your
patients.
Recently we had the opportunity to review a
new educational piece that is very well done and can be a
great help in educating patients with  diabetes.
“Getting
to the Heart of Diabetes”
is a guide to understanding CVD, diabetes and
Insulin resistance. Click
