The September/October Issue of Diabetes Forecast (page 30) had an article about how important carb counting is when you are diabetic. Compared with protein and fat, carbs have the greatest effect on your blood glucose. By counting how many grams of carb you’ll be eating, you can more accurately dose mealtime insulin and keep your blood glucose level stable. Read the labels on prepared foods that you buy, many of them will already have this information.

There was an article in the November 2020 Kiplinger’s Retirement Report (page 18) about the difficulties that many people are having getting their LTC provider to pay up. At Family inHome Caregiving we have dealt with a lot of LTC providers, and each one is different. We assist our clients by filling out the proper paperwork and giving the LTC provider the reports that they need in order to process the paperwork quickly. We have found that typically, it takes a couple of claims to figure out exactly what the LTC provider is looking for. However, once you get the kinks worked out, it is smooth sailing.
The Wall Street Journal recently profiled 83-year-old John MacIntyre who recently completed his 100th half marathon and when he showed up at the finish line his running group surprised him with a sign that read: “Congratulations, Geezer Jock!â€Â He embraced the nickname, and serves as coach of the Seasoned Soles, a run-walk group which was formed to get fellow residents of San Antonio’s Blue Skies of Texas retirement community moving. With a median age of 75, most of the 16 members started out walking and graduated to intervals of walking and running. Go Geezer Jock!
Although the test has not yet been approved by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), C2N Diagnostics has started selling a first of its kind : a blood test to help diagnose Alzheimer’s disease. Founders of the company include Dr. David Holtzman and Dr. Randall Bateman, both from the Washington University School of Medicine. The easiest way to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease to date has been an expensive PET brain scan which most insurance companies don’t cover. The new blood test is not covered by insurance either. However, the company offers discounts based on income against the retail price of $1,250. Speak to your doctor about ordering it if you are having concerns about dementia.
