?   <http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/17/> My New Diabetes Articles for Health Central: 

So far I have written 386 articles for the Health Central Network about all aspects of diabetes. In May this great website published 11 more of my new diabetes articles:

?   <http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/17/69578/microwaving-veggies> Microwaving Veggies. Spanish scientists report that the microwave is one of the safest ways to microwave vegetables. Antioxidants fared best with microwaving or griddling. 

?   <http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/17/69970/vitamin-levels-icu> Vitamin D Levels in the ICU. Is your Vitamin D level high enough to keep you out of the ICU? Australian endocrinologists studied the vitamin D status in ICU patients. Their mean serum level of Vitamin D was 16 ng/ml. Three of these patients died. Each of them had undetectable levels of Vitamin D. 

?   <http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/17/70453/drinking-lose-weight> Drinking White Tea to Lose Weight. When you drink white tea, you may lose weight, according to a new study. And if you drink it without any caloric sweetener, it sure won't make you gain weight. 

?   <http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/17/70796/antioxidants> Choosing Exercise or Antioxidants. A new study indicates that the two most common supplements can actually work against our exercise efforts. Those supplements are vitamins C and E. 

?   <http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/17/71019/power-prevention> Power of Prevention. The American Association of Clinical Educators new magazine, Power of Prevention, is now in doctor's offices around the country. The article that I liked best is about me.

?   <http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/17/71192/endocrinologists> Endocrinologists Meet. Health Central sent me to Houston to report on the annual convention of American endocrinologists. These are the people who treat diabetes and who work on the best ways to control and cure it. 

?   <http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/17/71349/vitamin-window> The Vitamin D Window. Dr. Neil Binkley, an expert on Vitamin D, told the annual convention of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists that we have a wide window for our vitamin D levels. Most people haven't climbed into that window. 

?   <http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/17/71708/welcoming-welchol> Welcoming Welchol. A new medication is the only diabetes drug we have that can also help us control our level of LDL (bad) cholesterol. It's also one of the few diabetes medications that won't make us gain weight. 

?   <http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/17/72156/early-warning-hearts> Early Warning for our Hearts. We now have an early warning that can help people with diabetes prevent heart attacks and strokes. I checked out this non-invasive, inexpensive, and easy-to-use device called the VENDYS, developed by Endothelix Inc., in May when I was in Houston. 

?   <http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/17/72488/intensive-control> Intensive Control Does Work. A new study for the first time provides reliable evidence linking intensive blood glucose control with fewer heart attacks. In spite of the ACCORD study, intensive control does work.

?   <http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/17/72835/triglycerides> Triglycerides and Neuropathy. A standard and simple test of the level of blood fat that we have may be the best way to predict if we will get diabetic neuropathy. The common blood test for triglycerides predicts our chance of getting neuropathy even better than high blood glucose. 

?  Dr. Bernstein's Webcast

If you have any interest in controlling your diabetes by low-carb eating, one of the best resources is Dr. Richard K. Bernstein's monthly webcast. It's an hour of excellent diabetes education.

Dr. Bernstein's next live Tele-Seminar is Tuesday, June 30, at 8:00 PM EST, 7:00 PM CST, 6:00 PM MST, and 5:00 PM PST. He designed it to answer your most important questions concerning diabetes and to offer his thoughts on the latest developments in this area. The seminar is free. You can click here to register: http://www.diabetes911.net/askdrb/index.php. It's also available as a live webcast both on the Internet and by phone. 

At the beginning of the call Dr. Bernstein will provide new information that is not in his books. 

?  Support Access to Diabetes Self-Management Training and Education

Diabetes educators across the country need your help. Hopefully many of you have been able to meet with a diabetes educator and have been helped to self-manage your diabetes. Diabetes educators are a dedicated group of health professionals and feel passionately that diabetes self-management training is a right of every individual with diabetes. They want their programs to be available to all people suffering with diabetes. 

Please help them by telling Congress to pass the Medicare DSMT Act as part of the national health reform. By signing this petition you are helping to promote Medicare access to quality diabetes education and training by Certified Diabetes Educators. Please sign the petition at  <http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/supportCDElegislation> www.diabeteseducator.org/supportCDElegislation.

Hi David,

One of our chapter presidents, Donna Posont, posted this to the Chapter

Presidents list, but I don't think this was circulated anywhere else.  I

leave it to your discretion, but I thought this might be worth cross posting

on the NFB lists.

I understand if you would prefer to not cross post this announcement.  Too

many of these announcements and people start to feel like they are being

spammed.

Thanks,

Subject: [Diabetes-talk] Braille Carnival Needs Volunteers
Message-ID: <auto-000102438963@mailfront1.g2host.com>

I am Andrea Beasley Wisconsin Parents of Blind Children president. I 
was put in charge of the Braille Carnival and have been working very 
hard to put together
a great carnival that all will enjoy. I have come up with several 
activities that are all adapted carnival games. I am looking for 
volunteers for this
event. I will need a lot of help with this activity, please let me 
know if you can help out and where you like to help.

The list of games are as follows:

balloon pop with Braille notes hidden underneath

fishing for Braille letters

bean bag toss to make Braille letters and signs

face painting Braille letters and signs

no bake play dough using a Braille recipe

treasure hunt simplified

sand buckets with Braille to find within

Braille math games

quiet table with books, cards, etc...

ticket prize booth

This is where I am running into trouble, I was asked this weekend to 
have a separate activity for the middle school age kids because the 
thought is they
will not like these activities so I am now searching for ideas.

I hope all of this sounds fun and exciting to you. I know we have a 
volunteer with a latex allergy and I would love to know who this is 
and be able to talk
with them so if it is you please email me about this. I also have a 
need for someone who has had experience in face painting. I think I 
could do this activity
if no one feels they could do it.

I have a list of needed items so please write me and let me know if 
you have any of these items and would be willing to bring them with you.

tickets- each booth will be passing out tickets to the kids, like at 
a Chuck E. Cheese where they will spend it at the ticket booth

prizes for behind the ticket booth

small balloons- I am checking into nonlatex balloons

cork board to tac balloons and messages onto

darts to pop balloons

magnetic fishing poles

magnetic Braille print letters

small/baby inflatable swimming pool

small bean bags

muffin tins

buckets

dry oatmeal- because I think sand would just be too messy

slates, stylus, Braille writer, paper, Braille books of various 
levels, Brailled playing cards, Braille Uno, Brailled board games, 
etc... for quiet table

Brailled notes to place behind the balloons and for the clues for the 
treasure hunt- might need to be written that morning

face paint- preferably one that can be felt not just seen

I think that about covers what I had. Again I want to thank everyone 
for their help and effort that will be put into this fun event, I 
know my son is very
much looking forward to going to convention this year. We did not go 
last year because I could not travel but this year I will be glad to be back.

I will accept any ideas that you all have for the middle schoolers, I 
hated those years so I have blocked them out and don't remember what 
I liked to do
during that time. :)

Thanks,

Andrea

Yes Mike Freeman.
If I remember correctly David Onspock is a diebetic?
Yesterday he had a massive heart attack where they had to revive him 
while going to the hospital.
His kidneys shut down.
He wasn't responding to anything at the time.
If I made a mistake I am sorry.
I could forward the message I saved if anyone is interested.

Dar:

I'm so sorry to hear this about David if it is true.  Please keep us posted 
on his condition.  I know he is married and is wife is a diabetic as well. 
I don't know if she is subscribed to this list.  Thanks for letting us know. 
Dave has always been a nice and decent guy and I'll keep him in my thoughts 
and prayers.

Eileen

not just a blind person but they do get tax credits for hiring a disabled person, it is in there best interest to do so, each state is different I would ask someone that is with the IRS or accountant.

  Yes Mike Freeman.

  Yesterday he had a massive heart attack where they had to revive him

  His kidneys shut down.
  He wasn't responding to anything at the time.

Hi D M Gina, 
I'm sure our diabetes talk list will appreciate any further information you
have about David. Also is there a location we might send get well wishes or
thinking of you wishes? Whichever might be appropriate.
We should all keep David in our prayers.

Regards,
Ed Bryant

Yes Mike Freeman.
If I remember correctly David Onspock is a diebetic?
Yesterday he had a massive heart attack where they had to revive him 
while going to the hospital.
His kidneys shut down.
He wasn't responding to anything at the time.
If I made a mistake I am sorry.
I could forward the message I saved if anyone is interested.

Dar, this grieves me. We got a message on the LD list too and I hope he is 
doing better.

Please let me know if you hear anything else.

Here is the message I received yesterday.
I did write to Tammy but I understand why I never got a message back yet.
Hope this helps.
I just thought I would write here,
I know Mike will understand.
Or give me information how to handle this differently.

There used to be the Federal Targeted Jobs Tax Credit (TJTC) program but 
don't remember if it's still in existence. An employer could apply for 
tax credit for hiring a disabled person.

Update on Dave,

Today Marion and I went and were able to see Dave.  Dave is in a coma 
and his prognosis is a wait and see.  He is basically riding the fence 
and he and Tammy still need all the healing thoughts and prayers.

Dear All,
    Merry and I are back home after a few days away to be with Tammy and
Dave. We continue to ask for healing thoughts and prayers for both Dave 
and
Tammy. For those of you who do not know Dave well, David Anspach is 
employed
at Freedom scientific, where he is a trainer. Dave is also the President 
of
the Pinellas (St. Petersburg/Clearwater/Largo/Pinellas Park) Chapter of 
the
NFB of Florida and serves as the Treasurer of the Florida Association of
Guide Dog Users.
    Dave's current challenges are all related to his diabetes. From what 
I
understand, Dave's blood sugar levels soared over the weekend. the high
blood sugar levels created a great deal of stress to his system, causing 
his
kidneys to shut down and his heart issues. Dave's heart stopped on his 
way
to the hospital and the doctors are unsure how long he was without 
oxygen.
The anoxia may have caused his coma.
    Dave is currently in a coma and breathing with a ventilator. The
ventilator is set to 14 breaths per minute, but is showing as many as 22
breaths per minute. His nurse says this is a sign that he is breathing
against the ventilator, and encouraging sign. Furthermore, Dave has a 
fever
and is sweating, further signs that there is enough brain activity to
attempt to keep his body functions regulated. Dave was also having 
several
seizures per minute and the neurologist has given him medication to 
control
the seizures.
    Yesterday, the Neurologist, in typical "Doc speak", said there were 
good
signs and bad signs". I understand why the family didn't get more
information on what the "good and bad signs" were, since they were happy 
to
get some good news when they previously had thought they were going to 
need
to make the decision to take him off of life support. Now that they are
thinking more clearly, we may know more about the positive and negative
signs found by the Neurologist.
    Dave is also getting dialized regularly, since his kidneys are not
functioning. His blood pressure seemed normal yesterday (about 140/70) 
but
his heart rate was rather high, in the 90s.
    Again, please keep Dave and Tammy Anspach in your thoughts and 
prayers.
I will keep you updated as I get more information and permission from 
the
family.

Fraternally yours,
Marion Gwizdala

Marion,

Do you have an address where I may send a card on behalf of myself and
DDI?  

Please let the family know they're in our prayers.  I have had the
pleasure of dialoging with Dave directly and it saddens me that this has
happened.  

Thank you

Marion,

Do you have an address where I may send a card on behalf of myself and
DDI?

Please let the family know they're in our prayers.  I have had the
pleasure of dialoging with Dave directly and it saddens me that this has

Dear All,
    Merry and I are back home after a few days away to be with Tammy and
Dave. We continue to ask for healing thoughts and prayers for both Dave
and
Tammy. For those of you who do not know Dave well, David Anspach is
employed
at Freedom scientific, where he is a trainer. Dave is also the President

of
the Pinellas (St. Petersburg/Clearwater/Largo/Pinellas Park) Chapter of
the
NFB of Florida and serves as the Treasurer of the Florida Association of
Guide Dog Users.
    Dave's current challenges are all related to his diabetes. From what

I
understand, Dave's blood sugar levels soared over the weekend. the high
blood sugar levels created a great deal of stress to his system, causing

his
kidneys to shut down and his heart issues. Dave's heart stopped on his
way
to the hospital and the doctors are unsure how long he was without
oxygen.
The anoxia may have caused his coma.
    Dave is currently in a coma and breathing with a ventilator. The
ventilator is set to 14 breaths per minute, but is showing as many as 22
breaths per minute. His nurse says this is a sign that he is breathing
against the ventilator, and encouraging sign. Furthermore, Dave has a
fever
and is sweating, further signs that there is enough brain activity to
attempt to keep his body functions regulated. Dave was also having
several
seizures per minute and the neurologist has given him medication to
control
the seizures.
    Yesterday, the Neurologist, in typical "Doc speak", said there were
good
signs and bad signs". I understand why the family didn't get more
information on what the "good and bad signs" were, since they were happy

to
get some good news when they previously had thought they were going to
need
to make the decision to take him off of life support. Now that they are
thinking more clearly, we may know more about the positive and negative
signs found by the Neurologist.
    Dave is also getting dialized regularly, since his kidneys are not
functioning. His blood pressure seemed normal yesterday (about 140/70)
but
his heart rate was rather high, in the 90s.
    Again, please keep Dave and Tammy Anspach in your thoughts and
prayers.
I will keep you updated as I get more information and permission from
the
family.

Fraternally yours,
Marion Gwizdala

Subject: [Diabetes-talk] Fw:  Insulin pen study at the NFB Convention
Message-ID: <1ED3AAC925AC4A5481E23002865765CF@Vincent>

To All DAN Attending 2009 National Convention,

The last time I had spoken with Ann Williams and confirmed this evening, she 
is still looking to the DAN to assist her in her study. When I joined the 
study group, Ann was about half way to her goal of 40 people. If you are 
blind and diabetic for more than a year and would be willing to give Ann 
some time, she needs us to help her. Ann and her team are willing to adjust 
the time to meet with our timings at the convention. This study will aid any 
of us who wish to use the Insulin Pen as there has not been a study yet 
involving blind and Visually Impaired persons who use the Insulin Pen. I 
hope we will do our best to help Ann. I am not an Insulin Pen user but a 10 
year pumper. I know this research would help many of us as blind diabetics 
who may wish to use an Insulin Pen and may have some resistance by the 
medical profession who reference the statement as to not advisable to be 
used by a visually impaired patient. I know this would be a forward progress 
for anyone with a visual impairment to be able to use the Insulin Pen as 
their choice in the future. Having listened to Ann's appearance on the TV 
show she had been on over the Internet, she noted this study would be the 
type of documentation necessary to remove the negative reference of not to 
be used by a blind client.

The URL for Ann S. Williams study is: 
http://www.case.edu/magazine/breakingnews/diabetes.html


I have copied Ann's contact information and a brief portion of the text to 
participate in the study:


Diabetes Study to Test Use of Insulin Pens by Visually Impaired: 
Post-doctoral fellow and nurse diabetes educator Ann Williams, PhD, RN, who 
self-diagnosed her diabetes in 1991, explores how those who are both 
diabetic and visually-impaired cope with the disease.

Are
you willing to participate in this study?
Or do you have further questions about this study? If so, please contact the 
researcher:

Subject: [Diabetes-talk] Insulin pen study at the NFB Convention






If
you are attending the 2009 NFB Convention and you have had diabetes for more
than one year, you are invited to participate in a research study about the
accuracy of dosing with an insulin pen after receiving detailed
instructions. For this study, I need to
recruit 40 blind people with diabetes and 40 sighted people with diabetes.

The
study will involve the following steps:

Before
     the convention, I will call you and ask you several questions to make 
sure
     you meet the requirements of the study.At
     the convention, you will need to sign an informed consent form.You
     will be given an appointment time to come to the study room. All blind 
people in this study will listen
     to a recording of audio instructions in the use of an insulin pen, and
     sighted people in this study will look at visual instructions. Everyone 
will have a chance to handle a
     pen and pen supplies, and may take as much time with the instructions,
     pens, and supplies as they wish, until they feel confident that they 
know
     how to use the pen. Each
     person will be asked deliver ten specific doses of insulin into an
     injection ball ? a rubber ball commonly used to teach insulin 
injections.A
     research assistant will weigh the injection ball immediately before and
     immediately after delivery of the insulin, to find out exactly how much
     insulin was delivered. The
     assistant will keep a record of all doses delivered.

Please note:
If you participate in this study, you will not inject insulin into
yourself. You will only learn how to use
a pen and inject doses into an injection ball.

You
will receive no direct benefits for participating in the study.

As
a way of thanking you for your time and participation in the feasibility 
study,
you will receive a $10 gift certificate for WalMart after you complete steps
1-5 outlined above. If you do not
complete steps 1-5, you will not receive the gift card.

You
may decide that you do not want to participate in this study for any reason 
at
all, and you do not need to explain your reason. This would not affect you 
negatively in any
way. In particular, your decision would
not affect your relationship with the NFB, with Case Western Reserve
University, or with the researcher, Ann Williams.

Are
you willing to participate in this study?
Or do you have further questions about this study? If so, please contact the 
researcher:

Marion,

The Diabetes-Talk has had a person who tried to address you on this list as 
we have been following David's progress through D M Gina and Mike Freeman's 
updates. Would you be able to share an answer to Kelly Massaro's request if 
that would be okay with David's family?
You would have to  join the "Diabetes-Talk list to write to us directly from 
the NAGDU list or write to me, Dar or Mike Freeman who would be able to 
forward the message from you.

Subject: [Diabetes-talk] Last Chance for Hilton Reservations for Convention
Message-ID: <auto-000106004400@mailfront2.g2host.com>


ALERT!  ALERT!  ALERT!  ALERT!


Hi All,

June 12, 2009 is the last day that the Hilton will be holding the 
National Federation of the Blind block of rooms.  After June 12 you 
will be taking a chance on whether you can get a room FOR National 
Convention at the Hilton.

Joanne Wilson
Affiliate Action



DA:  Here is part of the original announcement from Joanne, 
announcing these rooms:



Joanne Wilson tells us:

Rooms are now also available in the Hilton Garden Inn, about seven
blocks north of the Renaissance Center, at 351 Gratiot Avenue,
Detroit, Michigan 48226. The above convention rates apply, with a
nonrefundable deposit of $60.00 at booking and a five-night minimum
stay for arrivals beginning Thursday, July 2, and departures no later
than Friday, July 10. Please note this means that by making a
reservation there you are obligated to pay for the full five nights
at convention rates even if you stay fewer than five nights. You may
make reservations through Hilton's reservation system at
1-866-534-5356 through Friday, June 12.  Be sure to tell the agent
you are attending the National Federation of the Blind
convention.  These rooms will go quickly; therefore, you should call
right away to ensure having a reservation.

Greetings fellow Federationists:<?xml:namespace 
prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />



As you are surely aware, the NFB national 
convention is rapidly approaching, and so before 
everyone?s schedule is entirely packed I wanted 
to write to you to ask for your assistance.  As 
this is the first convention since launching 
NFB-NEWSLINE? Online (Web site: 
www.nfbnewslineonline.org), we wanted to seize 
this occasion to afford convention attendees with 
an opportunity to become familiar with our new 
features, including Web News on Demand and 
NFB-NEWSLINE? In Your Pocket.  To aid us in this 
effort, in addition to our two tables at the 
exhibit hall, the NFB-NEWSLINE? team has arranged 
for a suite (accommodating up to 25 people) that 
will allow for hands-on demonstrations of our 
newest online initiatives.  This great effort to 
promote the service to convention attendees means 
that we are in great need of a great many pair of 
hands to help us out!  Our suite will be 
available for 28 hours of walk-in traffic and our 
tables in the exhibit hall will need to be 
staffed for 23 hours--that?s a total of 51 
hours!  We are looking for support from our 
members who are familiar with the NFB-NEWSLINE? 
service; our volunteers will be asked to assist 
visitors in many ways; by providing information, 
handing out literature and helping sign up new 
subscribers, and demonstrating the service?s 
features.  I would very much appreciate it if you 
would take some time during the convention to 
assist us in promoting and demonstrating the 
service to convention attendees.  Please also ask 
others in your affiliate who you know use 
NFB-NEWSLINE? to volunteer their time as 
well   In return, you'll provide a valuable 
service and receive prodigious thanks!



Please send me an e-mail indicating your interest 
in volunteering during convention.  My e-mail 
address is <mailto:rwest at nfb.org>rwest at nfb.org 
and my inbox can accept a lot of entries!



If you have questions, you may also reach me by 
phone at (410) 659-9314, extension 2411.



Thank you for your time and for your attention to this matter.

To All DAN Attending 2009 National Convention,

The last time I had spoken with Ann Williams and confirmed this evening, she
is still looking to the DAN to assist her in her study. When I joined the
study group, Ann was about half way to her goal of 40 people. If you are
blind and diabetic for more than a year and would be willing to give Ann
some time, she needs us to help her. Ann and her team are willing to adjust
the time to meet with our timings at the convention. This study will aid any
of us who wish to use the Insulin Pen as there has not been a study yet
involving blind and Visually Impaired persons who use the Insulin Pen. I
hope we will do our best to help Ann. I am not an Insulin Pen user but a 10
year pumper. I know this research would help many of us as blind diabetics
who may wish to use an Insulin Pen and may have some resistance by the
medical profession who reference the statement as to not advisable to be
used by a visually impaired patient. I know this would be a forward progress
for anyone with a visual impairment to be able to use the Insulin Pen as
their choice in the future. Having listened to Ann's appearance on the TV
show she had been on over the Internet, she noted this study would be the
type of documentation necessary to remove the negative reference of not to
be used by a blind client.

If
you are attending the 2009 NFB Convention and you have had diabetes for more
than one year, you are invited to participate in a research study about the
accuracy of dosing with an insulin pen after receiving detailed
instructions. For this study, I need to
recruit 40 blind people with diabetes and 40 sighted people with diabetes.

The
study will involve the following steps:

Before
     the convention, I will call you and ask you several questions to make
sure
     you meet the requirements of the study.At
     the convention, you will need to sign an informed consent form.You
     will be given an appointment time to come to the study room. All blind
people in this study will listen
     to a recording of audio instructions in the use of an insulin pen, and
     sighted people in this study will look at visual instructions. Everyone
will have a chance to handle a
     pen and pen supplies, and may take as much time with the instructions,
     pens, and supplies as they wish, until they feel confident that they
know
     how to use the pen. Each
     person will be asked deliver ten specific doses of insulin into an
     injection ball ? a rubber ball commonly used to teach insulin
injections.A
     research assistant will weigh the injection ball immediately before and
     immediately after delivery of the insulin, to find out exactly how much
     insulin was delivered. The
     assistant will keep a record of all doses delivered.

Please note:
If you participate in this study, you will not inject insulin into
yourself. You will only learn how to use
a pen and inject doses into an injection ball.

You
will receive no direct benefits for participating in the study.

As
a way of thanking you for your time and participation in the feasibility
study,
you will receive a $10 gift certificate for WalMart after you complete steps
1-5 outlined above. If you do not
complete steps 1-5, you will not receive the gift card.

You
may decide that you do not want to participate in this study for any reason
at
all, and you do not need to explain your reason. This would not affect you
negatively in any
way. In particular, your decision would
not affect your relationship with the NFB, with Case Western Reserve
University, or with the researcher, Ann Williams.

Are
you willing to participate in this study?
Or do you have further questions about this study? If so, please contact the
researcher:

A Randomized Trial of Therapies for Type 2 Diabetes and Coronary Artery
Disease

 

The BARI 2D Study Group

 

ABSTRACT:

 

Background 

Optimal treatment for patients with both type 2 diabetes mellitus and stable
ischemic heart disease has not been established. 

 

Methods 

We randomly assigned 2368 patients with both type 2 diabetes and heart
disease to undergo either prompt revascularization with intensive medical
therapy or intensive medical therapy alone and to undergo either
insulin-sensitization or insulin-provision therapy. Primary end points were
the rate of death and a composite of death, myocardial infarction, or stroke
(major cardiovascular events). Randomization was stratified according to the
choice of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary-artery bypass
grafting (CABG) as the more appropriate intervention. 

 

Results

At 5 years, rates of survival did not differ significantly between the
revascularization group (88.3%) and the medical-therapy group (87.8%,
P=0.97) or between the insulin-sensitization group (88.2%) and the
insulin-provision group (87.9%, P=0.89). The rates of freedom from major
cardiovascular events also did not differ significantly among the groups:
77.2% in the revascularization group and 75.9% in the medical-treatment
group (P=0.70) and 77.7% in the insulin-sensitization group and 75.4% in the
insulin-provision group (P=0.13). In the PCI stratum, there was no
significant difference in primary end points between the revascularization
group and the medical-therapy group. In the CABG stratum, the rate of major
cardiovascular events was significantly lower in the revascularization group
(22.4%) than in the medical-therapy group (30.5%, P=0.01; P=0.002 for
interaction between stratum and study group). Adverse events and serious
adverse events were generally similar among the groups, although severe
hypoglycemia was more frequent in the insulin-provision group (9.2%) than in
the insulin-sensitization group (5.9%, P=0.003). 

 

Conclusions

 Overall, there was no significant difference in the rates of death and
major cardiovascular events between patients undergoing prompt
revascularization and those undergoing medical therapy or between strategies
of insulin sensitization and insulin provision. (ClinicalTrials.gov number,
NCT00006305 [ClinicalTrials.gov] .)

OLDER KIDNEY TRANSPLANT PATIENTS SHOULD MORE OFTEN CONSIDER LIVE DONORS

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Almost half of kidney transplant candidates older than
60 who are put on the waiting list for a deceased-donor organ will die
before getting a transplant, according to new findings from the University
of Florida, Cleveland Clinic and Case Western Reserve University.

 

Wait times to receive a deceased donor kidney transplant have increased over
the years, but this study is the first to define and quantify what this wait
time means for older patients. Researchers suggest that some candidates
should consider live-donor options rather than wait for deceased-donor
organs to become available.

 

The findings give firm data that can guide patients in making decisions, and
policymakers in allocating donated organs.

 

"If someone knows that they have a 10 percent chance of dying before
transplantation, they might consider it differently than if they know they
have an 80 or 90 percent chance," said Jesse Schold, Ph.D., an assistant
professor of medicine and first author of the paper published today (June
18) in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.
"Understanding what these survival estimates are may provide a more
objective and useful basis for evaluating donor options for this
population."

 

The researchers suggest that some patients need to ask their doctors about
their chances of surviving to receive a transplant, and, once they decide,
to speed through the steps necessary to get on the waiting list. It can take
several months for patients to go from primary care provider referral to a
transplant center and through the  medical tests and additional steps
involved in getting their name on the list.

 

"Older patients must be referred for transplantation sooner than they are
now, and they need to be guided through the process of pursuing live donor
kidney transplantation," said Harvard transplant psychologist Jim Rodrigue,
Ph.D., director of behavioral health services and research in the Transplant
Institute at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. "The older population is
least likely to pursue a live donor transplant and is less likely to have
healthy living donors available."

 

That's because the older people get, the older their siblings and peer
network become, with potentially more medical problems than when they were
younger.  And older patients tend to say they do not want to burden their
adult children, other relatives or friends by asking them to be live donors.

 

About 50 percent of the more than half a million people in the United States
who have end-stage renal disease are older than 60. In medically eligible
patients, kidney transplantation gives a better survival chance than
dialysis.

 

The UF team examined data from the national Scientific Registry of
Transplant Recipients for almost 55,000 candidates older than 60 who were
listed for a single-kidney deceased-donor transplant from 1995 through 2007.
They used statistical models to estimate the time to receive a transplant
and time to death after getting on the list.

 

Although overall about half of the over-60 group was projected to die before
transplant, different subgroups had even higher likelihood of dying before a
transplant.. 

 

Long-standing racial disparities are borne out by the data, with black
patients having a higher probability than white patients of dying before a
transplant: Sixty-two percent of black patients older than 60 will likely
die before getting a transplant.

 

"That is an important finding because African-Americans are substantially
less likely than whites to receive a live donor transplant, regardless of
age," Rodrigue said. "For those who are over 60, this is simply more bad
news." 

 

Another notable disparity is that people's survival chances vary greatly -
from 8 percent to 81 percent - depending on where in the country they happen
to live.

 

"It seems inherently unjust that we have such significant geographic
disparity in survival on the waiting list based on where you live," Rodrigue
said. 

 

It is true that some regions are better than others at recovering organs and
have better donor rates. But based on the study's results, one thing for
policymakers to consider might be redrawing geographical boundaries of
designated transplant regions so that more people have a better shot at
getting an organ. 

 

"We like to promote equity and policies that give a fair chance," Schold
said.

 

[EDITORS: STORY MAY END HERE]

 

While the study findings support broad conclusions about patients' survival
chances, they might not apply to individual patients.

 

Still, Rodrigue said, they will change the doctor-patient conversations at
his institute, for one. In the past, the underlying assumption was that
patients will eventually get a deceased donor organ.

 

"Now we'll have a more directed conversation with patients about the risk of
death," he said. "It's not just how long you wait."

To All,

In a follow-up message, Marion Gwizdala, the NFB's NAGDU President has 
shared some additional details of Dave Anspach's passing.

May we all remember Dave Anspach today and in the coming weeks as many of us 
prepare for Detroit. For Tammy Anspach, may she feel the love and strength 
from the DAN who has prayed and hoped for her and the family this week and 
through the time knowing Dave.

Vince,
    It is with extreme sorrow that I share with you that Dave Anspach's
family made the very difficult decision to remove Dave from life support
yesterday afternoon. Dave made his transition just before midnight last
night. God speed, Dave! We'll see you the next time around!

Fraternally,
Marion Gwizdala

O Lord! I am so sorry. Dave was a right guy! His comments were always 
interesting and his counsel wise.

ATTENTION DIANE FILIPE: As Secretary of DAN, could you please purchase a 
card of condolence and send it to Tammy per the earlier message giving 
her address? Please let me know the cost and I'll authorize purchase. 
You may sign my name as DAN President or, equally well, you may just 
sign the card as Secretary on behalf of the DAN membership.

Thanks.

To All,

In a follow-up message, Marion Gwizdala, the NFB's NAGDU President has
shared some additional details of Dave Anspach's passing.

May we all remember Dave Anspach today and in the coming weeks as many of us
prepare for Detroit. For Tammy Anspach, may she feel the love and strength
from the DAN who has prayed and hoped for her and the family this week and
through the time knowing Dave.

Vince,
    It is with extreme sorrow that I share with you that Dave Anspach's
family made the very difficult decision to remove Dave from life support
yesterday afternoon. Dave made his transition just before midnight last
night. God speed, Dave! We'll see you the next time around!

Fraternally,
Marion Gwizdala

The FDA has issued the following Public Health Advisory regarding 
Levemir
Insulin:



The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has learned that some stolen vials 
of
the long-acting insulin Levemir made by Novo Nordisk Inc. have 
reappeared
and

are being sold in the U.S. market. Three lots or a total of 129,000 
vials of
this product were stolen in all. These stolen insulin vials may not have
been

stored and handled properly and may be dangerous for patients to use.



The FDA has received one report of a patient who suffered an adverse 
event
due to poor control of glucose levels after using a vial from one of 
these
three

lots.



The agency is advising patients who use Levemir insulin to:



1. Check your personal supply of insulin to determine if you have 
Levemir
insulin from one of the following lots: XZF0036, XZF0037, and XZF0038.
Patients

can locate the lot number on the side of the box of insulin and also on 
the
side of the vial.



2. Do not use your Levemir insulin if it is from one of these lots. 
Replace
it with a vial of Levemir insulin from another lot. If you must switch 
to
another

brand of insulin for any reason, first contact your healthcare provider 
as
another insulin product may require adjustments in dosing.



3. Always visually inspect your insulin before using it. Levemir is a 
clear
and colorless solution.



4. Contact the Novo Nordisk Customer Care Center at 800-727-6500 for 
what to
do with vials from these lots or if you have any other questions.

My name is Dave Uhlman. I am looking for the experiences of blind people and people with other disabilities.  I am Visually Impaired.  I have a website http://hearandthere.net/default.aspx
    ?Hear and There Audio Magazine? is about the positive things people are doing in their lives.  I would like to listen to the experiences of the people in your group.  I would like to interview them for my radio show on Radio Reading Services.









Check out the new Adventure Blog at Hear and There AudioMagazine http://hearandthere.net/default.aspx.
 
People will be talking about the show and talking about places they have been that were fun and accessibile.  Then listen in on Tuesday for Hear and There.  Check the schedule page to find the time in your area http://hearandthere.net/Schedule.aspx
 
See Ya Somewhere!
 
 

Hear and There Audio Magazine has 4 new episodes available for download.  website  http://hearandthere.net/default.aspx

The program is hosted by Dave Uhlman,  a visually impaired Accessibility Consultant, who gives his unique perspective on museums, nature walks, art shows or just about anyplace he can visit. Dave can put words to the visual so the listener can see and enjoy the experience.

"Hear & There" is a program that promotes involvement in the community. We visit venues with accessible features, provide detailed descriptions, and encourage listeners to attend and participate in the events. This show is one of the few places were venues can publicize their accessibility features to the public.
 
4 new episodes on the downloads page
http://hearandthere.net/default.aspx


 

Pt 1 A Walk at Big Bone Lick  I hike around the wheel chair accessible trail where you can see live American Bison and visit salt springs.  They have a sand box where you can feel bone replicas on the animals that were found here during the Ice Age.

 

 Pt  2 Big Bone Lick w John Barker  I interview John Barker about the history of Big Bone Lick.  These springs were a deathtrap during the Ice Age 12,000 years ago.  Bison, Mammoths, and Sloths were attracted to the springs for the salt and were trapped in the thick swampy mud.  The huge bones remained and it became a haunted place for Indians as well as a tourist attraction for the pioneers.
 
 Horner Run Creek Hike  My brother Tom and I hike along a stream in southern Ohio.  During this walk we are attacked by Chickadees!!!  Will we survive?  Listen and find out.
 
Hike on Kelly's Island Ohio    Join me on a walk on an island in Lake Erie.  It is located in northern Ohio on the border with Canada.  It is the fourth largest of the five Great Lakes and the tenth largest globally.  We will talk with Francis Minshall, a local resident, about the region?s history.

Subject: [Diabetes-talk] The Seeing Eye 80th Anniversary on ThruOurEyes
	Internet Radio
Message-ID: <E144194EAD00494F85C55308C644AF40@Vincent>

To All DAN Members,

I wanted to share this as many of us are involved both in the DAN and NAGDU Divisions. I hope all will share this message with those who know someone with a guide dog or simply just love puppies and dogs...

Please forward this message to let all know of this show...

----------

Come One, Come All,

Please join Joseph Ruffalo, host of the ThruOurEyes Internet Radio Show, as he focuses on The Seeing Eye's 80th Anniversary. Joe will discuss the events which have been held so far and  celebrations yet to come. Joe will interview: Jim Kutsch, President and CEO; Rivi Israel, instructor; Roger Woodhour, volunteer puppy raiser; and Vincent Chaney, Seeing Eye Graduate. 
 
Joe and Jim will discuss The Seeing Eye's programs and will touch upon the history of the school and the mission it continues to fulfill today and into the future. 

Joe will then speak with Rivi Israel who is one of the instructors at The Seeing Eye. They will talk about Rivi's experiences training these special dogs and the instruction of the human partners once they have been matched with their dogs.
 
The conversation will then turn to Roger Woodhour and the role of puppy raisers. Some of the topics Joe and Roger will cover include the Puppy Development Program, early training of the pups, and exposure to the world that the dogs receive in preparation for their future as Seeing Eye dogs. 

Joe will also talk with Vincent Chaney who partners with Randolph, a Yellow Labrador, and review Vincent's 28 years of working with 3 Seeing Eye dogs. Their conversation will touch upon traveling into New York City to work, and their trips around the country for pleasure, work and the NFB National Conventions.

We especially wish to thank The Seeing Eye for their acceptance and participation in the show dedicated to and in honor of their 80th anniversary.

For those wishing to listen the evening of the show, the link to the ThruOurEyes.org - WTOE Radio Home - Windows Internet Explorer is:

http://www.thruoureyes.org/

The Wednesday, June 24th show will air at 5 PM PDT, 6 PM MDT, 7 PM CDT and 8 PM EDT. We are hoping that anyone who has an interest in the history of guide dogs, or in The Seeing Eye who pioneered dog guide services here in the USA, or who just has a love of dogs will listen in for this special show. 

The ThruOurEyes Internet Radio Show is also available via an Internet Podcast. Should you miss the show and wish to listen, the information is available on JAWS friendly links on http://www.thruoureyes.org/jaws.html

Hi Jerry,

The DAN members here, myself included, have researched into the Clever 
Check. I found on their Web Page they do not mention the design to be in an 
accessible format in any way or direction.
I have always shared one of the vendors that had come to New Jersey during 
our state convention to have been a good resource for both getting the 
Prodigy Voice and the Prodigy Voice Test Strips. They are Advanced Diabetic 
Solutions from Atlanta, Georgia. Their Web Site is:
http://www.advanceddiabeticsolutions.net/
Their phone number is 1-888-377-6382. I have also learned they will be in 
Detroit for anyone going to the 2009 National Conference.

Thank you for responding Vincent.

Hi Jerry, I'm Kelly with DDI, the manufacturer of the Prodigy Voice.  As
Vincent mentioned, the Voice is fully audible and we have the only meter
being endorsed and/or recommended by the NFB and AFB.  We have won two
awards for our technology.

I'm a part of Diabetes Talk to provide accessibility directly to the
manufacturer so you may ask questions, or add suggestions and comments
that I forward to our owners and engineers.

DDI is committed to providing blind diabetics with an accessible meter.
We also have a talking insulin pump in our pipeline and currently
produce the count a dose. 

I hope this helps.  If you have further questions, don't hesitate to
contact me.  

In closing, we have several outstanding distributors that carry our
product line.  Vincent offered one contact and I can provide a list of
others if you're interested.

Thank you for your interest and I hope to connect with you in the near
future.

Jerry:

The Cleverchek is not fully accessible; it speaks the current reading 
but one cannot set date/time and other functions without sight nor can 
one review memory.

There are several other outfits that will sell you the Prodigy Voice; 
Kelly Massaro who is on this list can give you the info and some of the 
suppliers are also on the list. If they haven't chimed in within a day 
or two, I'll dig up info.

Home Care ofAmerica is no longer supplying the prodigy talking meter. 
They have a new talking meter call Clever Check. Has anybody used this 
meter or know about it.

Hello,

My husband, Jeremy's prodigy voice had to have the batteries changed. As a result, for whatever reason, he has to reset the time. Is this accessible via voice, and how do you set the correct time? Thanks.

Rachel,

Along the line of the 3 horizontal buttons is the Settings Button. This is 
the middle of the three. Just to clarify, the left of the three repeats the 
result or says the date and time. The right one turns on the meter or allows 
you entry into the memory.

One Note...

I've notice slight differences to the Prodigy Voice with each change that 
has come out. I got my Prodigy Voice in November last year and a friend in 
January. My machine is slightly smaller than his. His machine does not have 
any version of the eject, no button on the bottom, or no slide on the upper 
left. One further problem is the audio CD he received goes way back to the 
one with the stem that originally came out the bottom or the reverse side of 
the side where you put in the strip to test.
The settings are a little different from his to my Voice but not enough to 
stop me from being able to train him in its use.

Now to the date and time. I have found the machine when the batteries are 
changed defaults to the last date and time you tested yourself. By holding 
down that Set Button for about 5 seconds, the machine says "You're now in 
setting mode", or at least mine does. Press the Set Button until you hear 
the date. My Voice starts with the year but my friend I mentioned has his 
start with the volume setting. If the year is correct, press the Set Button 
or use the up or down arrows to correct and then press the Set Button when 
you are ready to move on to the month and then the day. You can adjust each 
in the same way of up and down arrows and then press the Set Button to move 
on.

I hope this helps...

Subject: [Diabetes-talk] message regarding what to PAC for Convention
Message-ID: <auto-000104815612@mailfront1.g2host.com>

Greetings Fellow Federationists:

As you are getting ready for Convention, you may 
be wondering what to PAC.  Well, the answer is 
your check book or at least the account and 
routing numbers to your bank account.  The PAC, 
or the Preauthorized Contribution Program, is one 
of the major fundraisers for our 
Federation.  Each year we bring in about 
$360,000.00 to the organization.  It is the 
program through  which we can make easy, monthly 
donations to our national treasury.  These 
general funds go to support our scholarship 
program, our legal advocacy, our public education 
campaigns, and more.  A person can give as little 
as $5.00 a month or more to the Program.  All we 
need is a bank account from which we can withdraw 
money.  We need your bank's name, bank account 
number, and the bank's national routing 
number.  Your bank can give you all of this 
information with one simple phone call.  However, 
it would be best to get a voided check from you 
because that document has all the info we 
need.  So, just throw that check book in your brief case and come ahead!

Individuals aren't the only ones who can 
give.  Any affiliate, chapter, division, or 
Federation group can get on the Program as long 
as you have a bank account, of course.  We 
can  take donations  from savings accounts as 
long as the account permits external withdraws 
and you give the information noted above.  Again, 
we will need your bank's name, your account 
number, and the bank's national, also known as ABA, routing number.

As usual, We will be running a number of contests 
at Convention.  For the NFB affiliate that has 
the most number of people/entities either start a 
new pledge or increase an existing one,, we will 
award the PAC Rat.  The division with the most 
activity will receive the PAC Mule.  At the 
national board meeting, I will be awarding 
special prizes to the state affiliates that have 
had the largest percentage increase over the last 
year, one award will go to a large affiliate and 
another to a smaller affiliate.

Additionally, we will hold a cash drawing at the 
end of convention for two categories of people, 
those who start a new pledge and those who 
increase a pledge.  The individual whose name is 
drawn will receive $150.00 in cash.  There will 
be two drawings, one for the new pledges and one 
for the increases.  However, if we reach our 
convention goal of increasing annualized PAC 
giving to $400,000.00 or more, the cash prizes will increase to $300.00.

I look forward to seeing many of you at 
convention.  For those who can't come, I look 
forward to your participation through other 
means.  For example, I can email you a PAC form 
if you just shoot me a message at the below email.

Rachel,

The Prodigy Voice is completely audible, so yes; when you set the time
it will talk you through it.

If you put the meter in the palm of your hand and use the other hand to
feel down the right side of the meter, there will be an up and down
arrow on the upper top right.  IF you continue, you will feel a round
button on the lower right.  To the immediate left of this button is
another button which has a raised S on it.  This is your set button.  If
you hold that down, it will take you into the setting mode.  Once in the
setting mode, it will talk you through the set up.  You navigate through
the set up by using the up and down buttons on the right hand side of
the meter.  Each time you make a change, you push the set button again.

Your husband's meter should have come with an audio manual.  If not, let
me know and I will send you another one. 

Have a great day!

I would take snakcs on the plane since you don't know if meals will be 
delayed (or if you will even get meals) and even if you get them, you 
don't know what they are ahead-of-time. I usually take a Power Bar or 
Glucerna bar or some such on the plane. I did this more when I took 
insulin on a timetable; since I'm on "intensive management" now, it's 
not as much of an issue.

I usually don't change the time on my Prodigy Voice unles I'm going to 
be somewhere for quite a while (like a month or more). But it doesn't 
really matter much as long as you note in your diabetes log (you do keep 
one, right?) that you're either changing the time or are on a trip where 
the time changes.

I have been very busy at work a lot of overtime and then exhausted.

But the article will answer a lot of questions about getting strips, meters 
and how your insurnace works whether it be Medicare, hmos and private 
insurance.

Don't know when it will be out especially with Convention upon us.  So 
please look for it.

Dear All,
President Mike left me a message to let all of the conventioneers know that the DAN table number is A-21.  It is a prime location so it should be easy for those of us that are manning or visiting the booth to find it.
Sincerely, Joy Stigile, DAN Treasurer

Bay Area Digital Partners with Royal National Institute of Blind People

For Immediate Release

For additional information contact Christopher Gray.

Bay Area Digital is very pleased to announce its partnership as a
registered
agent, beginning immediately, with the Royal National Institute of
Blind People.
For the first time, United States residents can access RNIB's product
offerings
from a U.S.-based company.

"RNIB's products have been world-renown for over a century," said
Christopher
Gray, President of Bay Area Digital.  "We thought it was high time they
were
available easily and affordably to U.S residents without all of the
difficulties
and issues involved in overseas commerce."

To initiate the relationship, Bay Area Digital is importing a
carefully selected
subset of RNIB products to introduce and demonstrate.  The product
line will be
enhanced in the coming months based on customer feedback and interest.
In
addition, Bay Area Digital will make available any product requested
and ordered
by a U.S. resident whether or not it is a part of our initial general
catalog.

To receive a free product catalog from Bay Area Digital, please visit
http://rnibcatalog.blinkweb.com. From this site, people can also sign up
to
receive future product demonstrations as they become available online.

Bay Area Digital LLC is an adaptive technology company working in the
fields of
health care and superior quality technology for the blind and
visually impaired.
We invite you to visit us on the web at http://www.bayareadigital.us.
Also,
company president Chris Gray invites you to visit his personal blog at
http://ChristopherGray.squarespace.com.

The Royal National Institute of Blind People is the UK's leading charity
offering information, support and advice to over two million people with
sight
loss.  In addition to offering braille books, Talking Books, and a
whole host of
superior products that assist people with daily living, RNIB
continuously
assists the blind and visually impaired with imaginative and
practical solutions
to everyday challenges. Projects such as "Talk and Support" and
"Parents' Place"
make a difference to people's lives as well.  To learn more about the
Royal
National Institute of Blind People, visit their website at
http://rnib.co.uk.

NOTE:  Some products carried in the RNIB master catalog are actually
manufactured and owned by U.S. manufacturers and imported from the
U.S. by RNIB
solely for UK distribution. These products will not be available through
Bay
Area Digital.  No such product is listed in our current catalog.  Should
you
request a product through us directly from the RNIB catalog that falls
within
this category, we will immediately advise you of this and make every
attempt to
identify a U.S. source through which you can procure the item.
