Insulin Shots Can Cause Problems
By Rebecca Smith
Hoke Health Center
There are basically two types of
emergencies or reactions ex
perienced by diabetics who need
insulin injections.
Everyone should be aware of the
symptoms of insulin shock and
diabetic coma. These two situa
tions are opposite reactions and re
quire opposite treatment.
Insulin shock or hypoglycemia
occurs when the amount of sugar
in the blood is too low. This can be
caused by taking too much insulin,
skipping meals, or too much exer
cise.
When this happens the body
sends out warning signals such as
pale, moist skin; irritability;
headache; dizziness; confusion; ex
cessive hunger; drowsiness; blur
red vision and/or inability to con
centrate.
If these signs are recognized ear
ly, insulin shock may be
counteracted by giving the diabetic
some form of quick-acting sugar.
It is very important that the
diabetic on insulin carry something
sweet such as sugar packets or can
dy.
After taking the sugar the
diabetic should eat some more
slowly digested food such as milk
and a sandwich or a piece of fruit.
The doctor should be called and
the diabetic should not take any in
sulin.
Diabetic coma or ketoacidosis is
a more serious emergency than in
sulin shock.
This reaction results from not
enough insulin in the system; going
off the normal diet and/or emo
tional stress, fever, or infection.
When there is too little insulin in
the body energy is obtained by
breaking down fat or protein.
Acids from this accumulate in the
bloodstream quicker than the
kidneys can get rid of them.
The symptoms of diabetic coma
appear more slowly than insulin
shock.
The signs to watch for include
weakness, increased thirst, increas

ed urination, nausea and/or a frui
ty odor to the breath.
If left untreated this can pro
gress to coma and death.
When these symptoms appear
the doctor should be called.
The diabetic should drink li
quids without sugar and go to bed
and keep warm.
Diabetic coma can be prevented
by careful daily evaluation of in
sulin needs.
Illness, surgery, or other
stressful situations require increas
ed amounts of insulin. It is very
important that the diabetic not
skip or delay an insulin injection.
The diabetic should be careful to
combine the proper amounts of
food, insulin, and exercise in order
to prevent such reactions to in
sulin.
Family, friends, and co-workers
should be informed about insulin
reactions and the correct responses
to treat them.

Hostess hospitality
Hospitality is a way of living.
Your welcoming spirit is what
counts. Make your home the place
where young folks and neighbors
love to come.
Treat your family as cordially as
you treat your friends, and watch
them hurry home. Someday, if you
haven't already, you will have
achieved a reputation of a gracious
hostess. Here's how:
Easy, friendly, gracious... these
are words that every woman longs
to have applied to her and her
home.
The smart hostess learns all the
tricks of her trade, experiments
and adds her own special ideas.
She quickly learns that the good
times in her home can be fun if
she:
-Plans so that last minute or
even emergency work is reduced to
a minimum.
-Serves foods she knows how to
handle and has served successfully.
-Greets her friends relaxed and
not exhausted from a frantic day
of housecleaning, cooking and last
minute chores.
-Mixes her guests smoothly so
that everyone is at ease and no one
feels left out.
Inventory list
An inventory of your family's
important papers and household
goods and possessions is valuable <
anytime. But it's especially helpful
in a crisis.
This inventory should contain a
list of the family's important
papers and where they're kept - a
list of all your household goods -
and photographs of valuable
household goods and jewelry.
Then in case of fire or burglary,
the household goods inventory can ,
help you identify and prove owner- i
ship for those items that are
