This is the final post in the series for a new kind of [imaginary] church (see the vision and values and mission statements).
You know the drill. Provide comments answering the question: "If I were to land on a website of a new church in my community with the info below, what do I see that is attractive? What issues raise concerns or additional questions that I would ask?"
The means for accomplishing the mission is developing a caring community of home groups where members share their spiritual journey and encourage one another to know Christ and grow in Christ. Home group communities should not be confused with the "House Church" movement per se. Members may or may not include people who are already involved in an established church. Simply put, our target audience includes anyone interested in connecting with others around the central theme of Christianity. Home groups, therefore, are a network of friendships and families that participate in four key components intended to move every member toward maturity in faith.
- Practical, Biblical Instruction: Learning Scripture and applying it to everyday circumstances so members increasingly think and act "biblically" in all of life. This activity primarily involves the systematic exploration and explanation of God's truth in the context of teaching and open discussion. Some guidelines for teaching and open discussion are:
- Sharing passages that speak to the situation; i.e., minimize opinions and maximize truth
- Teaching and admonishing one another without displacing our Wonderful Counselor and Paraclete
- Encouraging obedience to the clear teaching of God's Word
- Extending grace to all by allowing every member the necessary space to grow; i.e., no unbiblical demands or ideals imposed upon other members (Jm. 2:13)
- Respectfully disagreeing with others and/or requesting one-on-one discussions for further clarification
- Fellowship: Sharing how God is uniquely moving in us as we experience His progress in our personal lives, our community, and our world. Useful guidelines for fellowship are:
- Intentional commitment to practicing the "one another" principles found in Scripture (e.g., Jn. 13:34-35; Rom. 12:10; 14:13; 1 Cor. 1:10; Eph. 4:2, 32; 5:21; 1 Th. 5:11; Jm. 4:11; 1 Pt. 1:22; 5:5; 1 Jn. 1:7).
- Attending home group meetings regularly (Heb. 10:24-25)
- Sympathizing with others without offering unwanted/unnecessary counsel or guidance (Pr. 10:19; 17:27; Gal. 6:2)
- Growing in love for other members by meeting individual/group needs where possible (Gal. 6:10; 1 Pt. 1:22)
- Sustaining a healthy, biblical dependence upon others yet taking responsibility for our personal growth
- Prayer/Praise: Expressing our gratitude and needs to God in the company of other group members. This activity entails bringing requests to God with thanksgiving as we expectantly await His response (Dan. 9:17-19; Philip. 4:6; Jm. 1:5-6) and exalting the work of God in worship and song. Guidelines include:
- Being honest and transparent with group members without compromising our personal intimacy or confidentiality with God, spouse, or others
- Reflecting carefully upon God's activity in ourselves and others so we come prepared to offer words of encouragement, genuine requests, and thanksgiving (Rom. 14:19; Philip. 1:3)
- Heartfelt singing of songs that are addressed to the Lord and to one another (Eph. 5:19)
- Seeking God's answers with a biblical expectancy (Mk. 11:24; Lk. 11:9-10; Jn. 16:23)
- Respecting "silent" prayer requests (Pr. 14:10)
- Outreach: Communicating the Gospel message in a biblically faithful, culturally relevant way so as to bring others into an understanding of their need for a committed relationship with Jesus as Lord and Savior. The Gospel message is to be defined for clarity and defended for purity as the only means of eternal hope and happiness (Acts 17:2-4; 1 Pt. 3:15). The primary, though not exclusive, means of declaration is through relational-evangelism built on trust, biblical lifestyles, and a keen application of Scripture to human need (Jn. 4:10; 1 Thess. 1:4-9).

D. J. David B. Spins Comics-Tunes: Meet The Flintstones (and the Rubbles)
Somebody out there who is a bigger cartoon expert than me, can probably tell me (and probably will) where this track comes from. It's not the "Meet The Flintstones" theme we've heard over and over again on endlessly rerun episodes of The Flintstones in syndication. Was it from the first season? The pilot? Some kind of early experiment or first draft?
Then again, The Flintstones is notorious for revisionism. The original end title theme song said "We'll have a GAY old time" but it was later changed to "We'll have a GREAT old time" when someone realized that two barefoot guys dressed in fur and hanging out in a cave together seemed, well, a little gay.
(This was the only piece of Flintstones art I could find online that wasn't pornographic. Somebody has waaaay to much time on his hands.)
Anyhow, it's good to hear the Rubbles finally get their due.

Next week, tune in for the best of the worst record ever…

That's all I was saying.

It is the location of Goodson Farms packing house and vegetable/fruit stand. In 2005, Goodsons had begun rebuilding the stand on the intersection of McGrady Road and 301. It was completed in late 2006.
There are also four tropical fish farms and a small holding area for Barnum and Bailey's circus animals.
One well known landmark is the Balm post office, which has been part of the community for over 50 years. The small town is undergoing construction of new houses and may eventually be upgraded to a suburb, hopefully bringing mail delivery and broadband Internet service to the area. As of today, the town is constantly being neglected by the county.
On January 17th, 2007, it was announced that a previously scheduled mitigation project had been canceled. This was attributed to the weak real-estate.

A Postal Savings Bank: Infrastructure That Doesn't Cost Taxpayers a DimePosted on Sep 23, 2013
By Ellen Brown, Web of Debt (Page 2) Expanding to include postal financial services has been crucial in many countries to maintaining the profitability of their postal network. Maintaining post offices in some rural or low-income areas can be a losing proposition, so the postal service often cross-subsidizes with other activities to maintain its universal network. Public postal banks are profitable because their market is large and their costs are low. The infrastructure is already built and available, advertising costs are minimal, and government-owned banks do not reward their management with extravagant bonuses or commissions that drain profits away. Profits return to the government and the people. Wall Street Is No Longer a Safe Place to Keep Our Money A postal bank could have appeal not just to the unbanked but to savers generally who are concerned about the safety of their deposits. Traditionally, people have deposited their money in banks for three reasons: safety from theft, the convenience of check writing and bill paying, and to earn some interest. Today, not only do our bank deposits earn virtually no interest, but they are not safe from theft – and the prospective thief is Wall Street itself. The Financial Stability Board (FSB) in Switzerland has mandated that "systemically important" banks come up with "living wills" stating what they would do in the event of insolvency. The template set out by the FSB is for these too-big-to-fail banks to confiscate their creditors' funds and convert them to bank equity or stock. Legally, "creditors" include the depositors. In fact depositors compose the largest class of creditors of any bank. Advertisement Square, Site wide For guaranteed safety, we need a network of publicly-owned banks devoted solely to taking deposits and providing check-cashing services – no gambling with deposits allowed. The US Post Office can safely and efficiently provide the infrastructure for such a banking network, as it did from 1911 until 1967. The post office is ubiquitous, with branches in every town and community. A Proven Model Postal banking systems are also ubiquitous in other countries, where their long record of safe and profitable public banking has proved the viability of the model. The mother of all postal banks was in Great Britain in the 19th century. The leader today is Japan Post Bank (JPB), now the largest depository bank in the world. Not only is it a convenient place for Japanese citizens to save their money, but the government has succeeded in drawing on JPB's massive deposit base to fund a major portion of the federal budget. Rather than using its deposits to back commercial loans as most banks do, Japan Post invests them in government securities. That means the government is borrowing from its own bank and its own people rather than from foreign bondholders. That is the basic idea behind the national postal savings and infrastructure bank. The deposits of the nation's savers can be invested in government securities that are in turn used for rebuilding the nation. It is a win-win-win, providing a way to save the post office while at the same time protecting our deposits and rebuilding our decaying roads and bridges without dipping into taxes. It is also a way to vote with our feet, moving our money out of an increasingly risky and rapacious Wall Street into a network of publicly-owned banks that serves rather than exploits us. Another Option: Rescind the Prefunding Requirement Another alternative for putting the USPS in the black, of course, is simply to rescind the healthcare pre-funding requirement that put it in the red. The mandate to fund healthcare 75 years into the future appears so unreasonable as to raise suspicions that the nation's largest publicly-owned industry has been intentionally targeted for takedown. Why? Is it because competitors want the business, or because private developers want the valuable postal properties that are being systematically sold off to meet its now-crippled the budget?

To explore ways in which food provides energy and materials for our bodies.
In the elementary grades, particularly the lower-elementary level, children know that there are different foods–some "good" and some "bad." They also seem to understand that a person's height and size can depend on what he/she eats. In this investigation, students will use online resources to help them explore how food can affect their overall health.
As you go through this lesson, you also should be aware that younger elementary students often believe that the contents of the body are what they have seen being put into or coming out of it. They also know that food is related to growing and being strong and healthy, but they are not aware of the physiological mechanisms. You should make it clear that food is a source of matter for growth, not a requirement for growth.
This lesson is the second of a Science NetLinks three part series. It works in conjunction with Nutrition 1: Food and the Digestive System, a lesson that focuses on the necessity of nutrients, and Nutrition 3: Got Broccoli?, the final lesson that encapsulates what students have learned about nutrition.
This lesson addresses only the first part of the benchmark. Additional activities that focus on how, as people grow up, the amounts and kinds of food and exercise needed by the body may change, will be necessary for students to gain a full understanding of this benchmark.
Have students read 5 A Day Facts on the Team Nutrition site. The study could be printed ahead of time and distributed to students.
Note: You should structure this activity in a way that matches the reading levels of your students. Students could read the article on their own, or you could read it aloud as a class.
Ask students these questions based on this information:
- How many fruits and vegetables should kids eat each day? (They should eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables each day.)
- Name some reasons why it's important to eat five or more fruits and vegetables each day. (Some reasons include: eating 5 or more fruits and vegetables each day plays an important role in preventing heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, stroke and birth defects; fruits and vegetables can also increase energy and assist in weight loss; as a bonus, fruits and vegetables are tasty, convenient, easy and quick to prepare.)
- Instead of fruits and vegetables, what is a big snack food for kids? (French fries is the big snack food. One-quarter of all vegetables eaten by elementary students are French fries.)
- What is the average fruit and vegetable serving for 6 to 12 year olds? (It is 2.4.)
- What are some of the troubling findings of this study? (Answers may vary. Encourage students to explain their answers.)
Next, have students study the eating guide, Eat the Five Food Group Way from Nutrition Explorers. This guide not only shows the amount of fruits and vegetables that should be consumed, but the number of servings of dairy products, meat/poultry/fish, and breads/grains.
Keeping in mind these figures, ask students these questions:
- How many servings of meat/poultry/fish should kids have in a day? (They should have two servings a day.)
- How many servings of dairy products should kids have in a day? (They should have three servings a day.)
- How many servings of breads/grains should kids have in a day? (They should have five to six servings.)
After discussing the guide, talk about how kids as a whole could go about eating the recommended number of servings from the five major food groups. Ask students why it is important to eat the right foods. Have a discussion with them about their various views.
If time allows, you may wish to extend this activity by having students survey their classmates about typical snack choices. This survey can be done within the class, grade, or school-wide.
Have students to go to the Nutrition Café's Nutrition Sleuth game. This game can provide students with a good introduction to how vitamins and minerals are essential to keep everything working well.
Since there are seven different cases students can attempt to solve, you can break up students into teams and have each team tackle a case. Have students write down what they learn about the nutrients in their science journals as they solve the cases.
Once the teams have solved the cases, have them report to the class what they learned. You might want to create a table for the whole class, using a large sheet of paper. List each of the cases included in the Nutrition Sleuth game and then write down the results of the students' investigations by each case.
After the class has finished this exercise, ask students these questions:
- What foods are good sources of calcium? How does calcium help keep everything working well?
- What foods are good sources of iron? How does iron help keep everything working well?
- Why is water so important for our bodies?
- What foods are good sources of vitamin C? Why is it important to make sure we include vitamin C in our diets?
- What food is an important source of vitamin A? How does vitamin A help keep everything working well?
- What is an important nonfood source of vitamin D?
- Why is vitamin D important for helping to prevent osteoporosis?
- Where can you find folate? Why is folate important for helping to keep everything working well?
After completing this exercise, discuss the students' answers with them.
To build on the concepts that vitamins and minerals are essential to keep everything in our bodies working well, provide students with the Take the 5 A Day Challenge chart. Ask students to follow the directions on the page and record the fruits and vegetables they ate the day before. Once students have recorded the fruits and vegetables, discuss the chart with your students and ask them these questions:
- Did you manage to eat five fruits and vegetables a day?
- If not, what can you do to reach the goal of eating five fruits and vegetables a day?
- If you did manage to eat five fruits and vegetables a day, do you think that has a positive or negative impact on your health?
- Why do you think it is important to eat five fruits and vegetables a day?
Once you have discussed the chart with them, ask students to think about the number of servings of each of the food groups they had the day before. You might want to create a chart and write down the number of servings per student for each of the food groups. Then, have students determine the average number of servings the class ate. Compare those numbers to the national averages for each of the food groups. Be sure to exclude French fries and potato chips for the vegetable group.
Discuss with students how they might increase the number of servings of food from the five food groups they eat in a day and the importance of eating a balanced diet in order to get the vitamins and nutrients they need to keep their bodies working well.
A good way to assess students' understanding of this material is to have them create a MyPlate poster themselves, based on the new MyPlate nutrition guide developed by the U.S. government, and use this poster to inform and encourage other students to eat the recommended servings from the five food groups.
To have students create the MyPlate, divide them into five different teams, each one concentrating on a particular food group. But, instead of just listing the five food groups and the number of servings that should be eaten from each, students also should include the types of food found in the food groups and the types of nutrients that can be obtained by eating those foods. They should state why the nutrients are important for helping to keep their bodies working well. Students also could illustrate the plate with pictures of the body parts for which these foods are particularly good.
To make the MyPlate itself, students can use a standard size poster board. The plate will have to be fairly large so that it can include all the information. Each of the pieces of the plate can be set up in the following way:
- Name of Food Group
- Recommended Number of Servings
- Types of Food Found in Food Group
- Nutrients
- Benefits to Body
If possible, the poster can then be displayed in the school cafeteria to serve as a reminder to all the students in the school to eat the recommended daily servings of the five food groups.
Visit Nutrition 3: Got Broccoli?, the final lesson in this Science NetLinks series. Here, students analyze food advertisements and then create one of their own to demonstrate what they have learned about nutrients and good food choices.
Have students play Grab a Grape from the Nutrition Café. Here, students select from categories such as Food & Sports, Bone Building, Weight Control, and Body Building to learn more about the nutrients in foods and what they can do for the body.

Type 1 Diabetes
Topic Overview
Is this topic for you?
This topic has general information about type 1 diabetes for people who do not have the disease. If you want to learn how to manage type 1 diabetes, one of the following topics may meet your needs:
- Type 1 Diabetes: Recently Diagnosed, if you have been told recently that you or your child has type 1 diabetes.
- Type 1 Diabetes: Living With the Disease, if you or your child age 12 or older has type 1 diabetes. If you have not read the topic Type 1 Diabetes: Recently Diagnosed, you may want to read it first.
- Type 1 Diabetes: Children Living With the Disease, if your child age 11 or younger has type 1 diabetes. If you have not read the topic Type 1 Diabetes: Recently Diagnosed, you may want to read it first.
- Type 1 Diabetes: Living With Complications, if you have complications, such as eye, kidney, heart, nerve, or blood vessel disease caused by diabetes.
If you are looking for information about type 2 diabetes, see the topic Type 2 Diabetes.
What is type 1 diabetes?
Type 1 diabetes is a disease that starts when the pancreas stops making insulin. Insulin lets blood sugar—also called glucose—enter the body's cells to be used for energy. Without insulin, the cells can't get the sugar they need, and too much sugar builds up in the blood.
Diabetes can cause sudden or long-term problems. If the body doesn't have enough insulin and the blood sugar gets very high, a sudden and very serious problem called diabetic ketoacidosis can happen. This can be deadly. Over time, high blood sugar can damage the eyes, heart, blood vessels, nerves, and kidneys.
Type 1 diabetes can occur at any age, but it usually starts in children or young adults. That's why it used to be called juvenile diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is different from type 2 diabetes, which is the most common form of the illness. In type 1, the body stops making insulin. In type 2, the body does not make enough insulin, or the body can't use insulin the right way. All people with type 1 diabetes need to take insulin. Some people with type 2 diabetes also need insulin, but most people can use diet, exercise, and medicine in pills to treat that illness.
There isn't a cure for type 1 diabetes. But with treatment, people can live long and healthy lives.
What causes type 1 diabetes?
The body makes insulin in beta cells, which are in a part of the pancreas called the islet (say "EYE-let") tissue. Type 1 diabetes starts because the body destroys the beta cells. Experts don't know why this happens.
Some people have a greater chance of getting type 1 diabetes, because they have a parent, brother, or sister who has it. But most people with the illness don't have a family history of it.
Other things that increase the risk of getting type 1 diabetes are being white and having islet cell antibodies in the blood.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms of diabetes are:
- Being very thirsty.
- Urinating a lot.
- Losing weight without trying.
- Being hungrier than usual (sometimes).
These symptoms usually appear over a few days to weeks. Sometimes people notice symptoms after an illness, such as the flu. They may think that the diabetes symptoms are because of the flu, so they don't seek medical care soon enough.
If a person waits too long to get medical care, he or she may get symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis. Symptoms of this problem include:
- Flushed, hot, dry skin.
- Not feeling hungry.
- Belly pain.
- Vomiting.
- A strong, fruity breath odor.
- Fast and shallow breathing.
- Restlessness, drowsiness, or trouble waking up.
- Confusion.
How is type 1 diabetes diagnosed?
A doctor asks questions about the person's health and does a physical exam. A blood test measures the person's glucose.
Some people are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes because they have symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis.
How is it treated?
Treatment for type 1 diabetes focuses on keeping blood sugar levels within a target range. A person with type 1 diabetes needs to:
- Take insulin through daily shots or an insulin pump.
- Eat a healthy diet that spreads carbohydrate throughout the day.
- Check blood sugar levels several times a day.
- Get regular exercise.
When a small child has diabetes, the parents have the responsibility for blood sugar control. As the child grows, he or she can take over more of the diabetes care.
Treatment may change based on the results of daily home blood sugar tests and other tests or exams.
Can type 1 diabetes be prevented?
There is no way to prevent type 1 diabetes. But studies are being done to find ways to prevent or delay diabetes in people who are most likely to get it.
Tight control of blood sugar and blood pressure can help people with type 1 diabetes prevent or delay problems with their eyes, kidneys, heart, blood vessels, and nerves.

Living with type 1 diabetes: |
Type 1 diabetes develops because the body's immune system destroys the beta cells which are in the islet tissue in the pancreas. These beta cells produce insulin. So people with type 1 diabetes cannot make their own insulin.
You can inherit a tendency to develop type 1 diabetes, but most people who have the disease have no family history of it. Diabetes experts believe that a genetic tendency and some environmental factors may increase the risk of developing type 1 diabetes. Possible environmental factors include enteroviral infections—especially Coxsackie B infections.
Despite concerns about vaccines (particularly those against whooping cough and Haemophilus influenza B, or Hib), studies have not found a relationship between being vaccinated and developing type 1 diabetes.1
Symptoms of type 1 diabetes usually develop quickly, over a few days to weeks, and are caused by blood sugar levels rising above the normal range (hyperglycemia). Early symptoms may be overlooked, especially if the person has recently had an illness, such as influenza (flu). Early symptoms include:
- Frequent urination, which may be more noticeable at night. Some young children who have learned to use the toilet may start wetting the bed during naps or at night.
- Extreme thirst and a dry mouth.
- Weight loss.
- Increased hunger (possibly).
Sometimes the blood sugar level rises excessively before a person knows something is wrong. Because insulin is not available, the cells in the body are unable to get the sugar (glucose) they need for energy. The body begins to break down fat and muscle for energy. When fat is used for energy, ketones—or fatty acids—are produced and enter the bloodstream, causing the chemical imbalance diabetic ketoacidosis. This is a life-threatening condition. Symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis are:
- Flushed, hot, dry skin.
- Loss of appetite, abdominal pain, and vomiting.
- A strong, fruity breath odor.
- Rapid, deep breathing.
- Restlessness, drowsiness, difficulty waking up, confusion, or coma. Young children may lack interest in their normal activities.
What Happens
Type 1 diabetes develops because the body destroys the beta cells in the islet tissue of the pancreas that produce insulin. The rate at which the beta cells are destroyed varies. Infants and children usually develop the disease suddenly because the beta cells are destroyed rapidly. Adults tend to develop the disease slowly because the beta cells are destroyed gradually.
Sometimes people notice diabetes symptoms after an illness, such as the flu. If they do not seek medical care quickly, the lack of insulin can cause the blood sugar level to rise much higher than normal. The body then uses fat and muscle for energy, which causes the release of ketones, or fatty acids. Ketones can lead to a chemical imbalance called diabetic ketoacidosis. It is a medical emergency. Symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis include confusion; strong, fruity breath; and drowsiness, or even coma.
Sometimes after receiving initial treatment for type 1 diabetes, people have a period of time—from a few weeks to a few months—when the pancreas is again able to produce insulin. This is often called the "honeymoon period." At this time, a person may need to take little or no insulin, depending on how much insulin the pancreas produces. When the honeymoon period is over, the person needs to take insulin for the rest of his or her life.
Every person who has type 1 diabetes requires treatment designed for his or her needs. Treatment involves:
- Taking insulin.
- Eating a healthful diet that spreads carbohydrate throughout the day.
- Getting regular exercise.
- Monitoring blood sugar levels (using a home blood sugar meter).
People with type 1 diabetes often have blood sugar levels outside of their target range. These out-of-range levels happen because injections of insulin cannot control blood sugar as smoothly as natural insulin made by your body. Blood sugar below a normal range (hypoglycemia) can develop quickly and lead to an emergency in only a few minutes. On the other hand, high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia) usually develop slowly over hours or days. If blood sugar levels continue to rise, diabetic ketoacidosis can develop.
Over time, diabetes can damage the body's tissues. Persistent high blood sugar can damage the eyes (diabetic retinopathy), kidneys (diabetic nephropathy), nerves (diabetic neuropathy), and heart (leading to heart attacks). It also can damage blood vessels, leading to strokes and blockage of other arteries, especially in the legs. People who keep their blood sugar levels within a target range often can prevent—or at least delay—these complications. But some people still develop complications even with good blood sugar control.
People who work closely with their doctors and follow their prescribed treatment usually feel better and more in control of their lives.
Planning pregnancy when you have type 1 diabetes
Women who want to plan a pregnancy need to talk to their doctors about making sure they have good control of their blood sugar. Higher-than-normal blood sugar levels during the first trimester of pregnancy raise the risk of birth defects. Good care of diabetes before conception appears to reduce the risk of birth defects.
Women with diabetes who do not want to be become pregnant should use birth control. This reduces the risk of birth defects in unplanned pregnancies.

What Increases Your Risk
Risk factors for type 1 diabetes include:
Family history of type 1 diabetes. Having a family history of the disease increases the chance
that a person will have
islet cell antibodies, but it does not predict that a
person will have the disease. Only about 10% to 15% of people with type 1
diabetes have a family history of the disease.1
- If the father has the disease, a child has a 6% risk of developing it.
- If a sibling has the disease, a child has a 5% risk of developing it.
- If the mother has the disease, a child has a 2% risk of developing it.
- If an identical twin has the disease, the other twin has a 30% to 50% risk of developing it.
- If a parent and one sibling have the disease, a child has a 30% risk of developing it.
- Race. White people have a greater risk for developing type 1 diabetes than black, Asian, or Hispanic people.
- Presence of islet cell antibodies in the blood. People who have both a family history of type 1 diabetes and islet cell antibodies in their blood are likely to develop the disease at some time.
More Information: |
When To Call a Doctor
Call 911 or other emergency services immediately if you or your child is:
- Unconscious or becomes very sleepy unexpectedly. You or your child may have low blood sugar, called hypoglycemia. While waiting for emergency help, follow:
- Drowsy, confused, breathing fast, and your or your child's breath smells fruity. You or your child may have high blood sugar, called hyperglycemia. A life-threatening condition called diabetic ketoacidosis could be present.
Call a doctor immediately if you or your child is vomiting and cannot keep down liquids and:
- Your blood sugar is 300 mg/dL or higher.
- Your child's blood sugar is 250 mg/dL or higher.
Call a doctor if you or your child:
- Has increased urination, increased thirst, weight loss, and possibly increased appetite. These symptoms may indicate type 1 diabetes.
- Has a family history of type 1 diabetes and wants to be tested.
Watchful Waiting
Watchful waiting is a period of time during which you and your doctor observe your symptoms or condition without using medical treatment. Watchful waiting is not appropriate if you think you or your child may have symptoms of type 1 diabetes, such as increased urination, increased thirst, weight loss, and possibly increased appetite. A blood test is all that is needed to determine whether a person has the disease.
Who To See
The following health professionals can diagnose and treat diabetes:
- Endocrinologist
- Pediatric endocrinologist
- Family medicine physician
- General practitioner
- Internist
- Pediatrician
- Nurse practitioner
- Physician assistant
To prepare for your appointment, see the topic Making the Most of Your Appointment.
Exams and Tests
Many people are not diagnosed with type 1 diabetes until they are admitted to a hospital for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). This life-threatening condition occurs when ketones, or fatty acids, are produced as the body burns fat and muscle instead of glucose for fuel. DKA develops in people who have type 1 diabetes (and some people who have type 2 diabetes) when their blood sugar is very high.
During hospitalization, people with DKA will be watched closely and receive tests to measure the levels of electrolytes and sugar (glucose) in their blood.
If a person is not in ketoacidosis, the American Diabetes Association's criteria for symptoms, a medical history, a physical examination, and blood tests are used to diagnose type 1 diabetes.
These blood tests include:
- Hemoglobin A1c, a test that estimates your blood sugar over the past 2 to 3 months.
- Blood glucose test, a test that measures your blood sugar. This test is done preferably after fasting, but it can be done at any time, even if you have recently eaten.
Other tests that may suggest diabetes
You may need a thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) test when type 1 diabetes is diagnosed and then every 1 to 2 years. This test checks for thyroid problems, which are common among people with diabetes.
Neither a home blood sugar test nor a urine test for sugar is recommended to screen for or diagnose diabetes.
Early Detection
Screening for type 1 diabetes is not recommended by the American Diabetes Association. Such screening would include testing everyone for islet cell antibodies. This test can show if a person is more likely to get type 1 diabetes.
People who are found to have islet cell antibodies may be able to participate in studies about preventing type 1 diabetes. These people need to be referred to a medical center conducting a type 1 diabetes prevention study.2
Treatment Overview
Treatment for adults
Type 1 diabetes requires lifelong treatment to keep blood sugar levels within a target range. Treatment includes:
- Taking several insulin injections every day or using an insulin pump.
- Monitoring blood sugar levels several times a day using a home blood sugar meter.
- Eating a healthful diet that spreads carbohydrate throughout the day, to prevent high blood sugar levels after meals.
- Regular physical exercise, because exercise helps the body to use insulin more efficiently. Exercise may also lower your risk for heart and blood vessel disease.
- Regular medical checkups to monitor and adjust treatment as needed. Screening tests and exams need to be done regularly to watch for signs of complications, such as eye, kidney, heart, blood vessel, and nerve diseases.
- Not smoking.
- Not drinking alcohol if the person is at risk for periods of low blood sugar.
A regular daily schedule makes managing blood sugar levels easier. Blood sugars are easier to predict and control when mealtimes, amounts of food, and exercise are similar every day.
Many people find out that they have type 1 diabetes when they are admitted to a hospital for diabetic ketoacidosis. If their symptoms are severe, they may need to be treated in an intensive care unit. Treatment for diabetic ketoacidosis includes fluids given through a vein (intravenous, or IV) to treat dehydration and to balance electrolytes, and insulin to lower the blood sugar level and stop the body from producing ketones.3
Treatment for children
Treatment for children includes all of the above measures to keep blood sugar levels within the child's target range. Treatment for children should also allow for normal growth and development. See the topics Type 1 Diabetes: Recently Diagnosed and Type 1 Diabetes: Children Living With the Disease.
When a small child has diabetes, the parents have the responsibility for blood sugar control. As the child grows, he or she can take more responsibility for diabetes care.
Preventing type 1 diabetes
Currently there is no way to prevent type 1 diabetes, but ongoing studies are exploring ways to prevent diabetes in those who are most likely to develop it. People who have a parent, brother, or sister with type 1 diabetes and are willing to participate in one of these studies should talk with their doctors. They may want to be tested for islet cell antibodies, because if they have these antibodies, they are more likely to get diabetes.
Vaccines have not been found to contribute to the development of type 1 diabetes.4 Children who are at risk for developing diabetes still need to get the recommended immunizations. See the childhood immunization schedule recommended by the U.S. Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Academy of Family Physicians.
Preventing diabetes complications
People with type 1 diabetes can help prevent or delay the development of complications by keeping their blood sugar in a target range. They also need regular medical checkups to detect early signs of complications. If complications are treated early, the damage may be stopped, slowed, or possibly reversed.
People who have other health problems along with diabetes, such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol, need to treat those conditions. Also, not smoking can reduce the risk of complications. Having other health problems can increase the risk for complications from diabetes.
Preventing flu and pneumococcal disease
People who have diabetes should have a flu shot every year and a pneumococcal vaccine. Usually, people need only one dose of the pneumococcal vaccine. But doctors sometimes recommend a second dose for some people, especially if they have a long-term disease. Talk with your doctor about whether you need a second dose. The pneumococcal vaccine helps prevent infections caused by pneumococcal bacteria. People with diabetes, especially those who have heart or kidney disease, are at high risk for complications, hospitalization, and death from flu and pneumococcal disease.5
Home Treatment
People who have type 1 diabetes need to work closely with their doctors to find the right balance of diet, insulin, and exercise to keep their blood sugar levels within a target range. That combination will vary over time, especially for children.
Daily treatment for diabetes includes:
- Taking multiple insulin injections or using an insulin pump.
- Eating a healthful diet that spreads carbohydrate throughout the day.
- Getting physical activity.
- Checking blood sugar levels several times a day and, when necessary, during the night.
Other steps to take
People with type 1 diabetes also need to:
- Wear medical identification at all times so that, in case of emergency, health professionals can see that they have diabetes.
- Treat high and low blood sugar levels quickly to prevent an emergency.
- Take extra care of their feet, gums, and teeth to prevent problems that may develop because of high blood sugar.
- Know how to adjust their diet or insulin doses when they are sick or when they become pregnant.
- Have regular medical checkups to monitor the disease and adjust treatment as needed.
A person who has type 1 diabetes must take insulin every day because his or her pancreas does not produce it. Insulin helps blood sugar (glucose) enter the body's cells to be used for energy. Insulin can be given as an injection into the fatty tissue under the skin or through an insulin pump.
Usually people with type 1 diabetes take a combination of types of insulin, such as a long-acting insulin once or twice a day and a rapid-acting insulin before each meal. The amount and type of insulin needed varies for each person. Also, the amount and type of insulin needed changes over time, depending on age, hormones (such as during rapid growth or pregnancy), and changes in exercise routine. In addition, a person may need higher doses of insulin during times of illness or emotional stress.
Other medicines may be needed if a person develops complications from diabetes, such as kidney disease.
A person also may need medicines to treat high blood pressure or high cholesterol and help prevent complications from diabetes. Talk to your doctor about whether you should take low dose aspirin. Daily low dose aspirin (81 milligrams) may help prevent heart problems if you are at risk for heart attack or stroke.
Surgery for type 1 diabetes is done only in special situations.
- Surgery to replace the pancreas (pancreas transplant) may be done when a person is receiving another organ, such as a kidney.
- Surgery to insert working pancreas cells (islet cell transplant) is experimental.
These surgeries are very expensive. After having one of these surgeries, a person must take medicine for the rest of his or her life to prevent the body from rejecting the new tissue (immunosuppression medicines).
Other Treatment
People who have type 1 diabetes need to avoid products that promise a "cure." No cure exists. They also need to avoid products for diabetes that are advertised by testimonials without a sound medical basis. These products or remedies may be harmful and costly. They also might cause people to delay or avoid getting other forms of treatment that have been proved to work.

Increasingly, studios want you to stream or buy your own digital copy of feature films and to entice you, that edition is being made weeks prior to the physical disc being available for purchase. In an effort to direct viewer buying and viewing habits, studios are also shifting review copies from disc to high definition download. My first encounter with this brave new world, ironically enough, comes with 20th Century Home Entertainment's current release of X-Men: Days of Future Past, the sprawling, epic film from May. The biggest drawback is making certain you have enough hard disc storage for the mammoth file and a set-up that allows you to watch on a huge screen. Lacking that, I watched the film on my 24" external monitor and while the image was crisp and the audio clear enough (although maybe I need to upgrade my speakers); it needs a bigger screen to properly appreciate. »

X-Men fans have certainly had a lengthy wait to see the Sentinels realised on the big screen. Teased by Brett Ratner back in 2006 with X-Men: The Last Stand, the mutant-killing machines finally made the jump from the panel this month with the arrival of Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past, and now VFX company Framestore has released some concept art, featuring both the Past and Future versions of the Sentinels….
And via Comic Book Movie, here's some concept work from Maciej Kuciara (Guardians of the Galaxy)…
X-Men: Days of Future Past is out now and sees X-Men veterans Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique), James McAvoy (Professor X), Michael Fassbender (Magneto), Nicholas Hoult (Beast), Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Lucas Till (Havok), Halle Berry (Storm), Anna Paquin (Rogue), Ellen Page (Kitty Pryde), Shawn Ashmore (Iceman) and Daniel Cudmore (Colossus) joined in the cast by franchise »

(Cbr) Wolverine, the number one cause of death for guys named "Sabretooth," returned to the big screen this past weekend with Fox's "X-Men: Days of Future Past," greeted by fans with an estimated $111 million opening. Hugh Jackman's seventh appearance as Marvel's adamantium-laced Canadian is as good a time as any to look back on the always popular X-Man's coolest and most action-packed movie moments -- an ass-kicking legacy that dates back to 2000. From "X-Men" to "The Wolverine," Cbr has cherry-picked the essentials from Weapon X's career on the big-screen. Movie: "X-Men" (2000) The Scene: Duking it out with Sabretooth atop the Statue of Liberty While "wire-fu" was relatively in its infancy during the production of the first live-action "X-Men" movie, director Bryan Singer found a way to work around the limitations and arguably deliver the film's best set piece. Logan does all the things fans want him to do in »

'X-Men: Days of Future Past' review: Bryan Singer has a surefire hit with latest 'X-Men' sequel (photo: Hugh Jackman as The Wolverine in 'X-Men: Days of Future Past') With yet another spring and summer movie season overstuffed with superhero extravaganzas, 20th Century Fox's X-Men series, which debuted in 2000 and spans more than half a dozen films, now feels like the granddaddy of the genre. It certainly felt ready for retirement at the conclusion of Brett Ratner's X-Men: The Last Stand (2006), a sequel so over-amped and underfed that it mothballed the series, allowing 2008's first Iron Man movie to usher in the era of Marvel-produced spandex spectaculars. Nowadays though, franchises don't die, they're rebooted with a 9-figure budget and an eye towards an exploding Chinese moviegoing market that was hardly a consideration during the high times of DVD. That's why Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class (2011) was such a pleasant surprise. »

With X-Men: Days of Future Past opening this week, it's time to look back at the films that kicked off the first big superhero franchise. There are countless top ten lists that could be made from the myriad of X-Men images, characters, and set pieces that have come to define the superhero genre and reshape what we know about a comic book that has endured for decades. This list tries best to objectively quantify ten great scenes from five of the six theatrically released films, ordering them in terms of iconography and emotionality, but also according to the fundamentals of what makes a film scene work and why this behemoth franchise is so enduring. Spoilers herein.

No skyscrapers blow up, no cities are leveled, and while the White House and a football stadium suffer some serious structural damage, the wholesale destruction of human civilization is kept to a refreshing minimum in "X-Men: Days of Future Past" — just one of several respects in which this strikingly ambitious yet intimately scaled entertainment distinguishes itself from so much of its comicbook-movie kind. Back at the helm of the Fox/Marvel franchise he successfully launched 14 years ago, director Bryan Singer stages a stealth reboot by introducing a playful time-travel element to the ongoing saga, bringing two generations of mutantkind together in a story that toggles cleverly (if not always 100% coherently) between the political tumult of 1973 and a not-so-distant dystopian future. Singer's scandalous recent headlines are unlikely to impact the commercial fortunes of this keenly anticipated tentpole attraction, whose B.O. haul stands to rival and perhaps exceed that of »

Rob takes a look back at Brett Ratner's X-Men 3, to see if it's better than it's generally given credit for...
Any regular visitors to the growing universes of superhero films will know that X-Men: The Last Stand is one of the least-loved instalments since the genre came back with a bang in 2000.
It is seen by many as a hugely disappointing end to what could have been a near-perfect movie trilogy after all the expert world-building by Bryan Singer in the first two instalments.
Rotten Tomatoes' consensus on the film is that new director Brett Ratner had 'replaced the heart and emotion (and character development) of the previous X-Men films with more action and explosions', averaging the scores of its 'Top Critics' at a measly 41%.
However, it cannot be said that it was in any way 'the last stand' for mutancy at the movies. »

Alarmed that Steinsmith had missed two AA meetings, Derning and another AA friend, Bob Ullman, decided to visit Steinsmith's Hollywood apartment on September 29. "We didn't know if we were going to find him on the bathroom floor unconscious, so we tried to prepare ourselves for the worst," says Ullman. "He looked terrible. He was so out of it, talking about the end of the world."
Derning and Ullman tried unsuccessfully to check Steinsmith into Broward General Hospital. But because it was Memorial Day weekend and there was no psychiatrist to examine him, nurses told Steinsmith to make an appointment with his regular therapist for the following week. "We felt that he was OK and we might be overreacting," recalls Derning. "We didn't want to insult him." Steinsmith didn't call his therapist.
On October 3, Steinsmith disappeared. Derning filed a missing-persons report with the Hollywood Police Department. At 3 a.m. the following day, Aventura police spotted Steinsmith waving a flashlight and tugging on the doors of the Turnberry Jewish Center. "These cops pulled up and asked me what I was doing. I said, "I'm Jewish, and you're bothering me.'" The arrest report says Steinsmith used more choice words and claimed he was the messiah. Police found three Ritalin pills, a medication he's taken for years, in his pocket and charged him with possession and trespassing. He spent several days in the Miami-Dade County Jail without medication. "I couldn't remember anyone's phone number, but I just thought, well, I'm an American Express platinum-card holder, and they always say that they can get you out of any jam," he says. "So I called [AMEX] and told them to get me the hell out of this place."
Unaware of the arrest and assuming their friend might be hurt, Derning and Ullman called Valerie Steinsmith in Las Vegas. She already knew that something was wrong with her son. He had called her on Yom Kippur, September 26, and told her that he was selling his stock and emptying several money-market funds as an act of patriotism. ""Ma,' he says, "I'm gonna buy a helicopter,'" she recalls. "He was incredibly agitated and upset. I was talking to him two and three times a day."
While Valerie considered hiring a private detective to find her son, she received a phone call from a bondsman who helped get Gary out of jail. Feeling that she had no choice, she invoked Florida's Baker Act, which mandates that anyone deemed a threat to himself or others must undergo psychiatric supervision and evaluation. Fort Lauderdale Hospital evaluated her son and released him in three days.
The same week, she says, Fort Lauderdale attorney Norm Kent called her. "He told me that he was Gary's power of attorney now and that he was concerned about whether Gary's finances were all straight," she says. "He said that he was an old friend, and I believed him."
During several interviews over the past two months, Steinsmith has wavered on whether he regrets giving power of attorney to Kent. During his second of three weeks in Fort Lauderdale Hospital, a time in which he appeared stable and coherent, Steinsmith said, "I'm stuck in a hospital, and he's someone who offered to help me. I need Norm. I can't do anything in here, and I trust him."
The owner and publisher of the Express, a free weekly paper catering to gay readers, Kent recently wrote an open letter to readers admitting that he "should have been more disciplined" while "administering my law firm's trust account several years ago."
The short, eight-paragraph letter printed in the paper's on-line edition (which can no longer be found in its archive system) came less than a week after New Times interviewed Kent's attorney, Alvin Entin, concerning an October 29 Florida Bar ruling that Kent mismanaged the estate of Robert Patterson, who died of cancer in 1994. The letter does not detail the 1999 complaint that Patterson's widow filed with the bar asserting that Kent sold estate jewelry to a pawn shop without her knowledge, nor does it mention that she accused him of selling her husband's truck at a reduced price as well as peddling two BMW motorcycles, then depositing the proceeds into his law firm account.
According to bar records, Kent "failed to place certain funds into an estate account. Instead, he placed said funds into his own trust account." In an April 2001 hearing before the bar, the records show, Kent "admitted to writing numerous personal checks from the trust account including paying personal bills, buying season tickets to sports teams, and writing checks to cash." When the bar's independent audit found "actual shortages in the trust account," Kent testified that he performed "sloppy bookkeeping" and was at the mercy of what he called his "hedonistic spending habits." A committee of lawyers determined that he had violated eight ethical codes, saying the violations were unintentional. The attorneys recommended that he be admonished for minor misconduct, but the Florida Bar Board of Governors threw out that recommendation, urging a more serious response. The case awaits final review by the Florida Supreme Court.Entin says his client is guilty merely of being an incompetent accountant. "There's a canyon of difference between stealing and bad bookkeeping," he says. "Norm Kent did nothing intentionally wrong."

Well, now we know. It was Clinton, which, technically, doesn't have the authority to offer anything, and that is how this administration will dodge the bullet. Plus they are saying he was offered a non paying consultant job as if anyone is going to believe that.

Savvy tourists don't need a regression analysis to know that they should ease off the gas when they come to a Podunk town, but two George Mason University professors now have the proof. By examining 29,752 speeding citations issued in April and May 2001 in Massachusetts, they found that who and where you are matters as much as how fast you're going. An out-of-town driver stopped by a police officer in any given area has a 51 percent chance of getting slapped with a fine, versus 30 percent for a local, and the average fine for an out-of-towner is $5 higher. Local police are 10 percent more likely to fine out-of-town drivers and 20 percent more likely to fine out-of-staters, while state troopers ticket out-of-state drivers at a rate 28 percent higher than in-staters. The poorer the town (in terms of property-tax receipts), the more likely its cops are to target drivers passing through; fines also increase the farther away drivers live, since distance makes them less likely to contest the ticket. The study also found that women are more likely to get off with a warning, though the gender advantage disappears around age 75.

The knock on free trade has always been that it makes the poor poorer: Small-scale farmers have a hard time selling their goods at home when cheap agricultural goods from abroad flood their markets. This argument has been employed by foes of the Central American Free Trade Agreement, which aims to eliminate trade tariffs between the United States and five Central American countries and the Dominican Republic; the agreement, critics say, will expose the poor countries to competition from the United States but offer them little in return, since 80 percent of the region's exports to the U.S. market already arrive duty-free. But the pro-CAFTA case gets a boost from a recent study in which three economists predict that in most cases, the trade agreement will actually improve the welfare of the rural poor in developing countries. The study finds that although rural incomes will likely decline as protective tariffs are phased out over the next 20 years or so, food prices in those countries will drop enough in almost every scenario to make up the difference—often with extra cash to spare. The typical rural household in CAFTA countries devotes a substantial chunk of its earnings to buying basic food items, and import tariffs (some as high as 154 percent) inflate their cost. As a result, the authors find, "lower food prices would mitigate and, in most cases, reverse the negative effect that lower incomes would have on rural welfare."

Even as newspapers around the country send reporters packing at the behest of the papers' investors, a new study finds that the fastest way to profits may be spending more, not less, on the newsroom. Two marketing professors crunched four years' worth of economic data from 1,400 daily papers in the United States, and they came up with a formula to determine the most profitable mix of spending—whether in the newsroom, to improve news quality; in the circulation department, to hook more readers; or in the ad sales department. They found that investing in the newsroom has the biggest impact on a paper's bottom line: Improving news quality not only increases circulation; it's actually as effective in luring advertisers as putting money into ad sales teams. (The authors also found that having more ads in a paper increases circulation as well, because Americans love to flick through them.) The researchers then ran the newspapers in their sample through their formula and found that most papers (60 percent of papers with small staffs and 80 percent with large staffs) are near the right spending balance; however, many (22 percent of small papers and 15 percent of bigger ones) could raise profits by putting more money into the newsroom. On the other hand, cutting newsroom spending, because it exerts a negative influence on other forms of revenue, inevitably forces further cuts and sends a newspaper into a "suicide spiral."

"A single death is a tragedy," Joseph Stalin said. "A million deaths is a statistic." Now a psychology professor at the University of Oregon has tried to figure out why, with a paper suggesting that an evolved behavioral response may mean that we don't feel that genocide is real unless we can focus on a particular individual. People understand reality in two ways, he argues: one is intuitive and experiential, the other is analytical and rational. Making decisions based on intuition is usually easier and more efficient than forming a judgment after analysis, and although our rational processes are supposed to monitor our intuitive impressions, they're often "rather lax." A case in point: When participants in a study were asked to donate money either to a starving girl in Mali or to a larger group of famine victims represented only by a number, they gave significantly greater amounts to the wide-eyed girl. Moreover, contributions to the starving girl actually dropped when statistical information about the number of people suffering from severe hunger accompanied the girl's name and picture.

Biological control of chestnut blight with hypovirulence depends on the successful transmission of hypoviruses between individuals of the chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica. Vegetative incompatibility inhibits horizontal virus transmission, but not completely. In an effort to assess the potential for the spread of hypoviruses in the Republic of Macedonia, we studied the transmission of Cryphonectria hypovirus 1 (CHV-1) among the five observed vegetative compatibility (vc) types of C. parasitica. One fungal isolate of each vc type was infected with CHV-1 and was paired in vitro with isolates of all other vc types for a total of 20 combinations of virus donors and recipients, and 250 replicate trials per combination. Virus transmission was scored after 7 days as successful if the recipient isolate took on an unpigmented culture phenotype typical of virus infection. Transmission occurred at high frequencies between some pairs of vc types, but in <1% of the trials for 10 of the 20 combinations of donors and recipients. Asymmetric transmission was observed between some vc types that had different alleles at vegetative incompatibility loci vic1 or vic7; i.e., transmission occurred at high frequencies in one direction, but very low frequencies between the same pair of isolates in the opposite direction. The expected virus transmission, calculated as the average transmission predicted for any two randomly chosen individuals from a population, was highly negatively correlated to vc type diversity. Results for isolates of C. parasitica from Macedonia were similar to those from Italy, but less transmission was generally observed. Differences in genetic background effects on transmission may vary among different populations even when isolates differ by the same vic alleles.
