“How do I know if I’m at risk for diabetes? What are some ways I can determine if I need to make changes in my life to prevent devel-oping diabetes?” With November being National Diabetes Awareness Month, this is the perfect time for you to take a look at your numbers and de-termine if it might be time for a change. First of all, determine if you are at risk for diabetes by asking yourself some of the following questions: • Are you overweight or obese? • Do you lead a sedentary life-
style?
• Do you have high cholesterol? • Do you smoke? • Do you have a family history of
diabetes? • Have you had gestational dia-
betes (diabetes during preg-nancy) in the past?
Your age, race, and ethnicity can also impact your risk level. Not sure of your personal risk core? The American Diabetes As-sociation has a Risk Assessment tool at www.diabetes.org/diabetes-basics/prevention/diabetes-risk-test/. If you are at high risk or have already been diagnosed with diabe-tes, be sure to develop a plan of care with your physician to maximize your treatment success. Regular check-ups (at least an-
nually), lab work, blood pressure monitoring and nutrition education are all important components of treatment. If you have not had your HgbA1c or cholesterol panel checked in the past year, now would be a good time to make arrangements to get that done. Whether you have diabetes or are at risk for developing diabetes, you could most likely benefit from making a few dietary and lifestyle changes. If you are overweight or obese, losing just 5-10 percent of your body weight can make a big differ-ence in your lab values. Perhaps start by replacing sug-ary drinks with sugar-free options and cutting down your portions of
high-calorie items to replace with lower calorie, nutrient-dense foods like vegetables and fruit (check out www.choosemyplate.gov for recommendations and additional guidance). To emphasize the importance of healthy lifestyles for diabetes man-agement, Tripler Army Medical Center will be hosting a Diabetes Awareness Fair open to all eligible beneficiaries, Nov. 17, 10 a.m.-3 p.m. in the Anuenue Cafe. For more information on the health fair, read the article below, or call 808-433-4950.
Tripler will host a diabetes wellness fair, Nov. 17, 10 a.m.-2 p.m., outside the Oceanside entrance of the hospital. Naval Health Clinic-Hawaii’s Health Promotion mobile “Wellness on Wheels” van will be on site to offer A1C cholesterol tests for patients who want to find out their numbers.

TRIPLER ARMY MEDICAL CENTERNews Release
HONOLULU — Tripler Army Medical Center will be hosting a wellness fair in honor of Diabe-tes Awareness Day, Nov. 17, 10 a.m.-2 p.m., here. The diabetes fair will take place in Tripler’s Anuenue Café and is open all eligible benefi-ciaries. The theme of this year’s fair is “Do You Know Your Numbers,” which will focus on A1C and cholesterol levels. Both of the tests deter-mine if a patient is diabetic, or at risk of develop-ing diabetes. The fair will offer attendees the opportunity to meet with vendors from the Defense Commis-sary Agency and visit Army Public Health Nurs-ing demonstration booths about topics such as foot exams, blood pressure screening, body mass index screening and speak with patient educa-tors about a variety of topics to include disaster planning for diabetics. In addition to the numerous resources in-side the Anuenue Café, the Naval Health Clinic Hawaii Health Promotion mobile “Wellness on Wheels” van will be on site outside the Oceans-ide entrance of the hospital offering A1C choles-terol tests for patients who want to find out their numbers. “It is important for diabetic patients to un-derstand there is a lot more than just (diet) that impacts your numbers, and it is more than eat-ing right and showing up to your appointments,” explained Mary Eiger, fair coordinator and di-etitian, Nutrition Care Division, TAMC. “Many things impact your diabetes. It is a lifestyle and there is a culture to diabetes.”
Because diabetes becomes a patient’s lifestyle, Eiger encourages patients with diabetes to bring their families to the event because it will offer education for family members as well. This is the second year that Tripler has hosted a diabetes fair and according to Hope Cooper-Oliver, nurse and patient/diabetic educator, TAMC, it was well received last year. Cooper-Oliver said that the incidence of dia-betes is high in Tripler’s patient population and it is important that the hospital provide the latest information and education for its patients. “It is important for our beneficiaries to have
resources from different vendors all in one place so we can provide one-stop-shopping for infor-mation and education,” Cooper-Oliver said. “I try to coach patients and know it is a lot of work, but it is better to own and not let it own you. (Diabetics) need to take care of (themselves to) be healthy.” In line with the Army Surgeon General’s vi-sion and campaign to influence the life space of Army Medicine’s beneficiaries, Eiger said the fair’s purpose is to educate people on ways to ne-gotiate their life outside of Tripler when they are dealing with diabetes.
