Tackle the big issues

-

The contrast between the columns written by the local MSPs is quite startling.

While Neil Bibby concentrat­es on local issues such as the problem with hooligans and the buses in Foxbar, George Adam goes on about St Mirren and football yet again!

It’s becoming tiresome that Mr Adam feels he is a part-time politician and part-time sports writer.

Is it not about time he tackled some of the issues affecting his constituen­ts?

What does Mr Adam think about the poor service most people receive from his colleagues in Renfrewshi­re Council (potholes, dirty streets, etc) or has he any intention of tackling the problems at the RAH?

There is no doubt that many readers will have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes.

Unfortunat­ely, we have found that many people with diabetes feel they do not have enough informatio­n to help them ith their diabetes.

With this in mind, the InDependen­t Diabetes Trust (IDDT) offers free booklets including, ‘Understand­ing Your Diabetes’ and ‘Type 2 Diabetes – Management and Medication’. They provide informatio­n in non-medical language to help people understand their treatment, improve their health and to make life easier.

One of the important aspects of the treatment of diabetes is eating the appropriat­e diet.

We know that from time to time, it can be difficult to curb the desire for sweet things but these foods raise blood sugar levels, something that needs to be avoided for people with diabetes.

So we also have a free booklet ‘Diabetes – Everyday Eating’ which contains 28 days of menus of everyday, affordable meals, and much more.

All our booklets are FREE and we are happy to send copies to readers of ‘Understand­ing Your Diabetes’, ‘Type 2 Diabetes – Management and Medication’ and/or ‘Diabetes – Everyday Eating’.

Anyone interested can contact IDDT on 01604 622837 or enquiries@ iddtintern­ational.org
