Do You Have Diabetes
and No Family Doctor?
Getting diagnosed with diabetes can be a frightening
experience for many people. Getting diagnosed with
diabetes and not having a family doctor can make it even
more frightening. There are many things to learn when
someone is diagnosed by diabetes and often many changes
need to occur. For example, medication(s) may be required
and lifestyle changes are often needed. We are fortunate to
have services for patients without a doctor in the Goderich
area. At Alexandra Marine & General Hospital there is an
Orphan Diabetic Clinic for patients diagnosed with
diabetes who don't have a family physician. Several of
these clinics are available each month and the same
physician will see patients at every clinic, allowing for
consistency in the person's health care. The doctor will
provide education, referrals, prescriptions and many other
services. There is also a diabetes nurse and dietitian
available to help guide the person with diabetes to acquire
knowledge about diabetes.
Fortunately, if you don't have a family doctor,
you don't have to try to navigate your
health care on your own.
To learn more about these services or to book
an appointment call 519-524-8689 ext 5292. ,

The fall leg of the Healthy Living Education
Series ended with the "I'm Healthy, Right?
How do I measure up?" event held at North
Street United Church on Wednesday October
14.
Featuring events such as blood pressure
tests, blood sugar tests, and diet advice, the
event was headlined by Dr. Joe Ennett, who
spoke about maintaining a healthy lifestyle,
and managing risk factors, as well as provid-
ing information about how to benefit from
good health.
The event drew in fifty people according to
Joan Hutton, one of the organizers.
"[We had] a number of health stations set
up around the room which gave the 50 people
in attendance more information on their risk
factors," Hutton said.
The event, which was sponsored by Pfizer,
provided each participant with a wellness
passport, developed by the drug company.
"It is our hope that each person will review
their personal risk factors which can be docu-
mented in their passport," she said. "[They
can] make a decision to make one change to-
wards a healthier lifestyle."
Healthy snacks were provided by the Lion-
ess group of Goderich for the event.
Future events will be held in the new year
according to Hutton.
