Taking control of your Diabetes Improving Self-Management By: Concentra Urgent Care

According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), approximately 21 million Americans have diabetes, and more people are being diagnosed every year. Diabetes is associated with many health problems, disability and premature death. Knowing how you can improve your lifestyle to better control diabetes is the key to reducing related complications, such as heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney disease, and amputations. Actions you can take include: • Monitor your blood sugar and take your prescribed medications: By keeping track of your blood sugar, you can achieve better control of your diabetes. Always take your insulin or oral diabetes pills as prescribed by your health care provider. • Watch your diet carefully: By eating well-balanced meals in the correct amounts, you can keep your blood glucose level as close to normal as possible. A dietician or books such as the ADA’s 101 Nutrition Tips for People with Diabetes can help.

• Lose weight: The ADA stresses that losing even a small amount of weight can reduce your risk of complications from diabetes. A dietician can help you find ways to eat the foods you like while reducing your intake of calories. • Increase physical activity: A personal health coach can help you become more active. And it doesn’t mean that you have to go to the gym; it can mean walking around your house or working in your yard. Exercise helps improve your strength, flexibility, and endurance. • Sleep well and reduce stress: Getting the appropriate amount of rest and managing your stress will improve diabetes control. For more information about managing your diabetes, contact your health care provider, your Concentra health specialist, or you can visit the ADA’s Web site at: www.diabetes.org

TWIN CREEKS

COMMUNITY COMMITTEES In order for the Twin Creeks Home Owners’ Association to provide the best service to our community, several committees have been established to allow the participation of residents to help build the best neighborhood possible. Listed below are the five core committees necessary to achieve this goal.

Social & Recreation Committee

The Social & Recreation Committee helps plan neighborhood events, such as biannual garage sales, holiday parties, and National Night Out, as well as combined events with Twin Creeks Country Club.

Maintenance Committee

The Maintenance Committee monitors the general condition of the neighborhood and helps identify areas in need of repair or improvement, such as the irrigation system, street lights, or other common property.

Yard of the Month Committee

The Yard of the Month Committee judges our yards and then selects a different yard each month that exemplifies the orderly and well-maintained look we expect to find in our neighborhood.

Communication Committee

The Communication Committee helps organize articles for the newsletter and other neighborhood communications, and assists in the establishment of a neighborhood website, news group and email distribution list.

Neighborhood Watch Committee

*The Neighborhood Watch Committee works with the local law enforcement office to establish and maintain a neighborhood watch group to help keep the community safe and secure. *Our Neighborhood Watch Committee is currently inactive; however, recently there have been several incidents within our community that impress upon us the need for neighbors to become involved in looking out for one another and to know what course of action to take if there should be a problem. Volunteers from every neighborhood within our community are needed! This commitment would take very little time, yet provide a great assurance to your neighbors and yourself. Contact a neighbor and volunteer together! To volunteer for Neighborhood Watch or any other committee, please contact Kathy Taylor at (512) 852-7998 or kathy.taylor@ goodwintx.com. Participation in our Home Owners’ Association is necessary in order for Twin Creeks to maintain its unique qualities as a country club community and to ensure a safe, beautifully maintained residential neighborhood for our families.

Epiphany Lutheran Church and School is giving thanks for the chance to play an important role in providing needy children with a simple gift this Christmas season. Last year was Epiphany’s first time participating in Operation Christmas Child, a ministry devoted to providing needy children shoe boxes full of toys, hygiene items, school supplies, candy, etc. The congregation collected over 80 boxes to send overseas. “We were strongly moved by this particular ministry” commented one member. The church members felt that the increased visibility of the new location this year made it a prime spot to become a “dropoff” location for OCC. This means that during “Collection Week” (Nov. 14th-21st) they will be accepting shoe box donations from the general public. «We are so excited to serve our community in this way. What a wonderful beginning to the Christmas season.» remarks Lauren Thom, an Epiphany Member and OCC volunteer. For more information about Operation Christmas Child and where you can donate your items go to http://www.samaritanspurse.org/index.php/OCC/.
