ioness Club canvasses for diabetes
With a goal of $3500, the Goderich
Lioness Club has mailed 5000 letters to
Goderich homeowners and businesses
asking for donations for the Canadian
Diabetic Association.
"It the first time the diabetic association
has ever canvassed in Goderich," says
Joanne Collins.
A drop-in centre for diabetics at the
MacKay Centre the third Monday of every
month is this year's project for the Lioness
Club. Though the first night in Jane
attracted close to 25 diabetics, the
meetings average 15 to 20 each time.
"It's a sharing, support system and it's
been very successful. We send out 40
letters a month to diabetics we know in
Goderich and thp number is growing all
the time. We have new faces all the time
which is great," says Collins.
Of the money raised during the canvass
of Goderich, 15 per cent will go to the
Huron -Bruce Diabetic Association and the
rest to head office in London for research.
"By the year 2000, every family will be
• hit with diabetes," says Collins.
Control is goal for diabetes management
Presently there is no cure for diabetes.
The goal of diabetes management is control,
which can be defined as keeping blood sugar
levels in the body as close to normal as
possible.
Ideal blood glucose levels are between 3.3
- 6.2 mmol/L. However, the target range for
each diabetic will vary and the physician
will help each di: betic determine what
his/her range shoal, he.

HBGM is done by'liite • g the finger and
placing a drop of blood ont I :13i test strip. The
blood is wiped or washed off after a certain
length of time. The test result is obtained by
inserting the test strip into a meter or by
comparing the color of •the strip to a color
chart.
Proper training in technique and care and
use of the meter is essential. Liaison with
the doctor regarding interpreting and using
results is most important.
Frequency and timing of monitoring
varies depending on type of diabetes; age, il-
lness, complication and degree of control
desired. The doctor or diabetes educator
will help establish appropriate testing
schedules for each individual.
