organizing SHARPS disposal

How Might Kansas Ensure Safe Syringe Disposal by Individuals in the Community?

 

The state legislature and individual communities may wish to more actively encourage individuals to safely dispose of used syringes and make it easier for them to do so. Many options for state and local action exist. They range from gathering data, to developing community collection site programs and education efforts, to creating partnerships with interested groups, to considering amending laws and regulations. All will help Kansas move toward the goal of "no syringes discarded in the trash or public locations."

Dear Mike,

Thank you for contacting the American Diabetes Association. We received your e-mail regarding traveling with diabetes supplies.

We are aware of people with diabetes having concerns with the screening process prior to flying, not specifically being accused of carrying drugs. The American Diabetes Association continues to advocate for the rights travelers with diabetes. We work with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to ensure that passengers with diabetes have access to their diabetes supplies and equipment, especially during those times when the nation s security threat level rises and screeners must react quickly to changes in security checkpoint screening protocol.

The Transportation Security Administration makes the following recommendations for airlines passengers with diabetes and additional  "Tips for Travelers" may be accessed from TSA's website: www.tsa.gov or call their hotline at 1-866-289-9673.

 Notify the security screener that you have diabetes and are carrying your supplies with you.

 Make sure a professionally printed pharmaceutical label identifying the medication (insulin) accompanies your insulin vials, insulin pens, jet injectors and insulin pump.  Since the prescription label is usually on the outside of the box containing the vial of insulin or pens, it is recommended that passengers refrain from discarding their insulin box and come prepared with their insulin in its original pharmaceutically labeled box.

 There is no limitation on the number of empty syringes that may be carried through the security checkpoint; however, insulin must be with you in order to carry syringes through the checkpoint.

 Lancets, blood glucose meters, blood glucose test strips can be carried through the security checkpoint.

 For passengers who test their blood glucose levels, boarding with lancets is acceptable as long as the lancets are capped, and the lancets are brought on board with a glucose meter that has the manufacturer's name embossed on the meter (i.e. One Touch meters may say "One Touch Ultra"). Meters should not be affected by security scanning devices.

Other Tips:

Before you travel, you should:

- Have a medical exam to make sure your diabetes is in good control.
- Get a letter from you doctor saying that you have diabetes.
- Get a prescription from you doctor for insulin or oral diabetes pills.
- Get a list of ADA affiliates or chapters if you're traveling in the US.
- Contact the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) for list of foreign diabetes associations: www.idf.org
-Get a list of English-speaking physicians in other countries from the International Association for Medical Assistance to Travellers at www.iamat.org
- Get immunization shots-if you need them-at least one month before you leave.
- Carry a "Diabetes Alert Card".
- Wear a medical ID bracelet.

Jane,   Given the number of other diabetics I know, I can attest that we have had some interesting conversations. Have you heard of any diabetic users of injections either being accused of carrying illegal drugs or have you heard of anyone having illegial drugs in their "insulin" bottles or pens? I know this is a strange subject but it is something I've wondered about since I started carrying my own medications through security. Oddly, I have never been asked about the number of pill bottles I lug around and my youngest brother said he'd never been asked about his syringes or drug bottles...     Mike

I went to the Diabetic Support meeting and was surprised with the offer of an A1C test. It was the same as the test in February: 6.3.

2012 Lions Strides Walk in dear old DDC

It is early May and I have done nothing to set up a Lions Strides Walk. I suppose I could get really busy and arrange one but I would have to do so without help from the Dodge City Lions Club. Without their help, this Strides Walk simply can not happen. Three years ago, I thought I had a Strides Walk wired and had two young Lions join my team. They joined my team simply to tell me that I wasn't ready for a Strides Walk and to forget it.

So, it is May and the Strides Walk isn't until October/November and it is already too late to try for one. Damn, but it hurts to  say that!

This is the "Top Ten Tips For Organizing A Strides Walk":

Here are the items:


1) Select your Organizing Committee: Since this is a Lions event, I would need Lions from my club. That would be difficult as the two members (who also shut be down) are the two young enough to be energetic. Still, I think I could get Lions to help. Perhaps I could get members of the Kiwanis and even the Knights of Columbus. I don't believe I could get out of town Lions to help. Maybe I could get the members of the ADA "Walk To STOP Diabetes" to help?

2) Hold your first meeting. Establish a regular schedule for STRIDES meetings. First, I must get a team together. I am beginning to have much more respect for "Community Organizers". 

3) Identify community contacts from among committee members. This can include
potential sponsors, media supporters, entertainers, poster distributors, and groups
of participants. I have some ideas for this but definitely need the help of fellow Lions and my wife's coworkers...

4) Set the event date and start time Some time in late October or early November

5) Establish a route The city owned gym/health centre (Sheridan Centre) has a nice track. We also have the high school football field, which has a track and and meeting room under the bleachers. There is a parking low between the Civic Center and the Guard Armoury; both facilities might be used if their management would give us access free. The Sheridan Centre would...

6) Seek official approval from town, parks, and other departments This could take some doing. Fortunately, my wife and I have known a member of the City Commissioner for years and the manager of the Sheridan Centre is very approachable. However, the City government is talking about giving the management of Sheridan Centre to the YMCA and there is no way of knowing if they would let us use "their" building for free. (They should as the city tax payers will still be paying for the upkeep of the Sheridan Centre!)

7) Organize local sponsor solicitation for giveaways, food and beverages Something that I need help with and something that killed my last attempt. 

8) Approach the media (radio, television, print) for publicity and possible sponsorship See the answer to question 7...

9) Inform and invite local health care professionals, officials and celebrities for support
and presence on event day We could try getting the help of several local MDs, including one who is well known publicly.  We do have a diabetes specialist at the local medical clinic but I get the feeling she is very much uninterested in doing something public.

10) Visit site and route to determine volunteer needs,  placement of equipment, and and
potential concerns   This is an end game event...


We would have to charge an entrance fee for two reasons:

1. People who have paid to participate in something generally take it a lot more seriously and
2. Why should Lions pay for STRIDES pins for possible no-shows?

I wonder if a STRIDES Walk could be combined with an ADA "Walk to STOP Diabetes" Walk? The nearest ADA office and thus, the nearest "Walk To STOP Diabetes" is about 160 miles away. I don't have a lot of hope for help from them. None the less, the Wichita Kansas Lions might be interested in getting involved?

CDC 2011 Diabetes Fact Sheet

Here is the 2011 diabetes fact sheet: http://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/pubs/factsheet11.htm

A Bizarro cartoon and diabetes

Do you really wonder why we are a nation of fat fracks?

Do you really wonder why the number (in Kansas) of type two diabetes is growing?

We can take dubious pride in being the descendants of folks who could gained weight and survived famines. This is truly a dubious distinction! At least we can take dubious pride in knowing we're taking the rest of the "advanced" world down with us.  (Is this called leadership?)

a 5 year old type one...

The Dodge City Globe (22 April 2012) wrote a piece about a boy in Cimarron Kansas who was diagnosed as type 1 at 10 months. The litttle boy is now (as of this writing) using an insulin pump and apparently otherwise a normal little boy. I'm happy to see this...
Cimarron family copes with childhood disease

Eric,

Your article about "Eric's disease" was very nicely written. I wish the poor boy and his family the best of luck. His life may be great now but I fear that won't last. It didn't last for my youngest brother and probably won't for a friend's grandchildren.

You didn't mention two things:

1. There are a lot of diabetics and way too many juvenile onsets (type 1). I am a type 2. My youngest brother was a type one juvenile onset; he had considerable problems getting medical insurance and died young (44 years, 1 month and 8 days.).
2. If "Obama Care" is cancelled by the Black Robed Republicans -er- Supreme Court Justices and the needed items are not replaced by the House and Senate and even the Kansas House and Senate, then children like Eric will be denied medical insurance when they must leave their parent's medical insurance. The excuse will be "pre-existing conditions".

We need "Affordable Health Care" because:
a) People who have faithfully paid their medical insurance premiums should not lose their medical insurance when they need it,
b) People should be sold affordable and good health insurance despite "pre-existing conditions",
c) There should not be lifetime limits on coverage,
d) There should not be small coverage ceilings on health insurance insurance.

Insurance is based on having a pool of customers who cover the costs of other customers. These are the people covering the costs of the above. This was the basic for the “Republican Mandate”that became the “Obama Mandate” and put so many people in a tizzy.

The insured should not see their money used to make top insurance executives millionaires or bribe politicians. Oops, maybe I should have said "contribute to political campaigns"?

I wonder if those opposed to "Obama Care" either have great health insurance or don't think they will get sick. There will be screams of pain and desperate attempts to get medical insurance when their health begins to crap out...

I abhor the phrase "ObamaCare" because it is highly disrespectful to a man of high accomplishment and because it is "cutely"!

There are a great many subjects involved with diabetes that you could write many articles. You can contact Lions Club International Foundation and the American Diabetics Association for suggestions. You could be crucial in establishing diabetics support groups for the various groups in or near Dodge City. There are many of us (diabetics).

useful information...

Myth: If you have type 2 diabetes and your doctor says you need to start using insulin, it means you're failing to take care of your diabetes properly.

Fact: For most people, type 2 diabetes is a progressive disease. When first diagnosed, many people with type 2 diabetes can keep their blood glucose at a healthy level with oral medications.  But over time, the body gradually produces less and less of its own insulin, and eventually oral medications may not be enough to keep blood glucose levels normal.  Using insulin to get blood glucose levels to a healthy level is a good thing, not a bad one.

This was one of the simpler equations we had in first term calculus (as I recall).

 

 

 

 

poor girl or coming "train wreck"...

My wife and I went to the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson yesterday. We were there to work on the Kansaas State Lions health van. Kathie operated one eye sight tester and I was the gate keeper for those entering the van of testing gear. I kept people from going in without first filling in the liability release form and kept one old gent from pushing his way ahead of a kid...

An unhappy and very pregnant girl walked over and I asked her if she had gone through the screening van. She said she had and said "my blood sugar was high". I replied "what was your blood sugar?"

She replied "399".

"It was 399? Do you have gestational [diabetics}?

"Yes but I've been a type 1 since I was 10."

Later, I talked with the Nurse who was taking the blood sugar readings and she said she'd talked with this girl. This young woman was actually 26 (but looks a lot younger) and claimed to be 7 months along. However, we (the nurse and I) agree that she should looked a lot further along than a mere 7 months!

The young woamn said she was on insulin 4 times a day and had taken a shot a hour before the 399 reading. I later talked with this girl and her husband (or boy friend) and they both looked scared! Well, they should look scared! The young woman n eeds some serious medcal care and that means some heavy duty medical insurance. I hope he has a good job with good medical insurance but I fear they are unwed so she can still be on her parent's health plan. Once she is too old (27 years old?), she won't be on her pariental health insurance. She would then have to have a husband with good medical insurance or a good job herself with good medical incurance. She is going to have trouble holding a job when her type 1 diabetics get much worst. (We could ask my late younger brother Charlie about being a juvenile onset type one and the piss poor medical insurance such folks but "late" means he is dead. Charlie died of complications from his dibetics...)

I fear that "Omamacare" will be overturned by the next Republician President and insurance companies will go back to:

• refusing to insure those with pre-existing medical conditions siuch as diabetics or
  
• those who develop serious new medical conditions (i.e. type 2 diabetics)
  
• letting pharm companies charge why too much for meds or to increase costs after a med has been in use for a while or
• unbundling costs and jacking them too high -er- "making them reasonable" (OK, too damn high) and
• insurance companies not covering medically required medical devices. Some of these "medcially required devices include:
  
  • diabetic test stripes
  • catheders
  • eye glasses
  • hearing aids
  • prothestic limbs and
  • a number of other devices...

Politicans who kill off the provisions of "Obamacare" will be responsible for the consequences of the loss of "Afordable Health Care" (i.e. "Obamacare") and that includes responisible for those who died because "their" medical insurance companies screwed them. Of course, the politicans - and this includes the Tea Baggers Tea Party politicans - will deny responsibility for the future deaths and maiming and the medical companies have never taken responsiblity for their evil!

At the advise of my diabetes educator, I did multiple tests on the 22nd, 25th and 27th. The test results for the 22nd were:
    am 146
4 pm  324       I seriously question the validity of this reading as it was the old meter with (possibly) old test stripes
   pm  140

Then, multiple tests on the 22nd

  802 am  117
1050 am  158
 203 pm  136
 404 pm  123  
 513 pm   96
 940 pm  156

In an episode of "Babylon 5", one character said "I'm Russian; we always question good news and never question bad news." [or words to that effect]  Thus, I question the 96 but don't question the 158 or 156...


Finally, the extra test on the 27th:

            am 128
pre-dinner 113
            pm 118

a day's worth of testing

My diabetes educator asked me to take multiple blood samples today. I did and the results were interesting. Number 4 and 5 were shocking...

1.  522 am - 122
2.  943 am - 112
3. 1156 am - 136
4.  229 pm -  251
5.  456 pm - 198
6.  743 pm - 129

Test 1 was after I got out of bed (5 am) dressed and walked my dog. Test 2 was after breakfast. Tests 3 and 4 bracked lunch and tests 5 and 6 bracked dinner. I wonder if test 4 is representative of what my blood score is at that time of the day. I will have to do another multi-test day next week when I have a day off (Friday, Saturday or Sunday).
