This issue is a personal one for my family and probably for many of yours. November is National Diabetes Awareness Month and it brings a cautious, yet encouraging message that Americans are fighting back against this disease. The number of new cases has begun falling after decades of increases. The rate of serious diabetes-related complications, including stroke, heart attacks and amputations, has dropped. More than 29 million U.S. adults have diabetes and one-fourth don’t even know it. Diabetes accounts for 20 percent of the country’s health care spending and is the leading cause of kidney failure, leg amputations and adult-onset blindness, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. A decision made by Congress in 2010 could be contributing to the recent gains. Congress authorized the CDC to roll out its diabetes prevention program nationwide. A powerful endorsement followed this year when the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services started paying for Medicare recipients who take part in the program. Health officials are cautiously optimistic about the early gains and new research into possible triggers for diabetes. The treatment options a decade ago were limited and that is changing, reports Dr. Drew Bremer, a top diabetes researcher at the National Institutes of Health. “As a field, we are evolving and going beyond looking just at glucose numbers and focusing on the entire patient,” he said. Dr. Bremer noted that there are eight classes of drugs available to diabetes patients, and research is ongoing to guide physicians in choosing the most effective new and old medications for controlling high blood-glucose levels. Patients and their families shouldn’t expect new therapies to appear overnight. Researchers have even found a link between coffee consumption and warding off diabetes, though it’s not because of the caffeine, they say. More work needs to be done, but that preliminary finding should lift your mood the next time you visit Starbucks. • Inside This Issue Certified & Licensed Professionals.......................2 Classifieds............................3 Community Briefs...............2 Finance..................................6 Hawthorne Happenings....3 Legals............................4, 6-7 Pets........................................8 Police Reports.....................3 Sports....................................5 Seniors..................................7 Weekend Forecast Friday Sunny 67˚/50˚ Saturday Cloudy 61˚/50˚ Sunday Mostly Sunny 61˚/48˚
