Diabetes
Continued from Page 1A
Diabetes is a disease caused by
a deficiency of insulin, a hormone
secreted from the pancreas. About
16 million Americans have dia
betes, but of these only about 10
million have been diagnosed. Dia
betes increases the risk of blind
ness, kidney failure, amputations
and cardiovascular disease.
A health center diabetes team
made up of health center physi
cians, pharmacists, nurses and
Olmos began meeting during
spring term and came up with the
idea for the student group, she
said.
Another goal of this group is to
provide a network for newly diag
nosed diabetic students, said Julie
Norton, health center pharmacy
manager.
“There’s so many issues in col
lege that are complicated by hav
ing to manage a chronic disease,”
Norton said.
Students are finding the group
to be a valuable resource.
“I like making that connection
and having peers that I can talk
to,” said Nicole Long, a second
year interior architecture major.
Long is collecting signatures as
part of The Petition for a Cure, an
effort of the American Diabetes
Association to gather 1 million
signatures in support of a cure for
the disease. The signatures will be
presented to Congress in March
2000, she said.
Diabetes is a costly disease. Dia
betics require daily injections of
insulin to keep their blood sugar
at normal levels.
“Taking proper care of yourself
is a huge financial burden,”
Boone said. “I have to buy in
sulin, syringes, blood glucose test
ing supplies and glucose tablets.”
A bottle of insulin costs about
$20 at a retail pharmacy. The
same bottle costs $11.50 at the
health center pharmacy, he said.
The health center pharmacy is
a member of a multi-state buying
group. It gets discounts because it
is a government agency and pass
es the savings to students.
The next Students With Dia
betes group meeting will be at 4
p.m. on Nov. 18 in the health cen
ter.
November is National Diabetes
Awareness month. There will be
free diabetes screenings in the
lobby in front of the EMU Fish
bowl from 9 a.m. to noon on Nov.
18.
Senate
Continued from Page 1A
Virgamini served on the Con
stitution Court before, but re
signed based on personal reasons
that he would not discuss, which
concerned some of the senators.
In a prepared statement for the
senate, Virgamini said he felt that
a degree of maturity and integrity
are more important than his past
personal decisions.
Sen. Scott Kolwitz agreed and
said, “Virgamini has been both
highly critical of our questions
and his own answers, and that’s
why I approve of his confirmation.”
The senate decided not to ap
prove the EMU budget increase,
or benchmark, of 5.3 percent for
the 2000-2001 academic year un
til they have more information on
specifically how and why the
EMU is spending its funds.
If approved in the weeks to
come, the benchmark will be cov
ered by an increase in the student
incidental fee, raising it from
$58.18 to $60.89 per student per
term.
The Student Senate is the leg
islative branch of the ASUO and
handles financial issues regarding
student programs. The senate
meets at 7 p.m. every Wednesday
night in the EMU Board Room,
third floor. All students can at
tend these meetings.
