Capsule Comments by Ernie Miatello Diabetics who drink alcohol should be prepared for a lowering of blood sugars. Eating before drinking helps slow the absorption of alcohol and may help prevent low blood sugar reactions. Have a high carbohydrate snack ready if levels dip too low and have your blood glucose monitor with you and use it. March is National Nutrition Month. Science knows much about vitamins and minerals but this knowledge is relatively recent. It was in 1936 that Vitamin E was isolated as a chemical entity and in 1937 Vitamin B-1 and Vitamin K were discovered. We don't often mention Internet sites in this column, but since this is Nutrition Month, there is one that we'd like to mention. It's www.5tol0aday.com The Canadian Cancer Society and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada have teamed up to provide this great site to promote healthy eating. Of course, the main thrust is to get Canadians eating 5-10 serves of fruit and vegetables each day. If you are using inhalers to help your breathing, it is important to develop a good technique. Even if you do it perfectly, only 10% of the dose reaches the lungs. With poor technique, much less gets there resulting in poor control of your lung conditions. Huron Apothecary Ltd.

If you serve your community, you have a responsibility to serve your community clean drinking water. Everyone has a stake in clean drinking water. Our families and friends; our clients and customers. Under Ontario's new Drinking Water Systems Regulation, owners of drinking water systems now must comply with strict water quality and operating standards. If you own or operate a business or service facility of any kind that serves the public and relies on its own source of water, then you are affected by the regulation. Mobile home parks, campgrounds, small hotels, gas stations and places of worship are some of the establishments subject to the regulation. So are children's camps, schools, hospitals and any social care facility. In short, any place where the general public has access to a drinking water system, such as a washroom, drinking water fountain or shower. You are also subject to the new regulation if you own or operate a system that supplies drinking water for a seasonal or permanent community of six or more residences. We all share the same water resource. Small drinking water systems now join municipalities, industries and the agricultural community in doing their part to protect the quality of Ontario's drinking water. Find out what you need to do as a responsible provider of clean, safe drinking water. Call 1-800-565-4923 CD Ontario
