Prediabetes What You Need to Know Did you know that if you are 45 years old or older, overweight, and inactive, you may have prediabetes?
What is prediabetes? Prediabetes means the amount of glucose, also called sugar, in your blood is higher than normal but not high enough to be called diabetes. Glucose is a form of sugar your body uses for energy. Too much glucose in your blood can damage your body over time. If you have prediabetes, also called impaired fasting glucose (IFG) or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), you are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.
How do I know if I have prediabetes? Most people with prediabetes don’t have any symptoms. Your doctor can test your blood to find out if your blood glucose levels are higher than normal.
Who should be tested for prediabetes? If you are 45 years old or older, your doctor may recommend that www.vall ey rev ue .co m
you be tested for prediabetes, especially if you are overweight. Being overweight is a key contributor, along with inactivity, to prediabetes. If your body mass index (BMI) is higher than 25, you are overweight. BMI is a measure of your weight relative to your height. If you’re not sure if you are overweight, ask your doctor. Even if you are younger than 45, consider getting tested for prediabetes if you are overweight and • are physically inactive • have a parent, brother, or sister with diabetes • have high blood pressure or high cholesterol—blood fat • have abnormal levels of HDL, or good, cholesterol or triglycerides—another type of blood fat • had gestational diabetes— diabetes that develops only during pregnancy—or gave birth to a baby weighing more than 9 pounds • are African American, Alaska Native, American Indian, Asian American, Hispanic/Latino, or Pacific Islander American M AY 2 016

• have polycystic ovary syndrome, also called PCOS • have a dark, velvety rash around your neck or armpits • have blood vessel problems affecting your heart, brain, or legs If your test results are normal, you should be retested in 3 years. If you have prediabetes, ask your doctor if you should be tested again in 1 year.
What can I do about prediabetes? Losing weight—at least 5 to 10 percent of your starting weight— can prevent or delay diabetes or even reverse prediabetes. That’s 10 to 20 pounds for someone who
weighs 200 pounds. You can lose weight by cutting the amount of calories and fat you consume and by being physically active at least 30 to 60 minutes every day. Physical activity also helps your body use the hormone insulin properly. Your body needs insulin to use glucose for energy. Medicine can help control the amount of glucose in your blood.

HERITAGE AREA
Celebrate Landmarks during Preservation Month By Auni Gelles, Heart of the Civil War Heritage Area
heartofthecivilwar.org
“I
t has been said that, at its best, preservation engages the past in a conversation with the present over a mutual concern for the future.” – William J. Murtagh, Keeping Time: The History and Theory of Preservation in America Each May, Americans are encouraged to celebrate the built environment during Historic Preservation Month. This year brings even more cause for celebration, as 2016 marks 50 years since the passage of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). The preservation movement seeks to provide a tangible connection to the past by protecting (and when possible, re-using) buildings and landscapes of historical significance. Although some Americans made caring for aging architecture and iconic places a priority before the 1960s—including the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association’s stewardship of Mount Vernon in the 19th century, the establishment of the National Park Service in 1916 (celebrating 100 years in 2016), and the creation of the www.vall ey rev ue .co m
Preservationists proclaim “This Place Matters” in front of the Newcomer House at Antietam National Battlefield.
Historic American Buildings Survey during the New Deal—the NHPA was a major turning point in the field. The 1966 act created three major tools which continue drive the work of saving places today: the National Register of Historic Places, the National Historic Landmarks list, and the State Historic Preservation Offices. You can participate in Preservation Month this May by taking a walking tour in your local historic district, visiting a state or national battlefield, sketching a Main Street community, researching the history of your house, or learning about the landmarks that give your area its unique character. For more ideas, go to heartofthecivilwar.org. The National Trust for Historic Preservation, a nationwide nonprofit organization, invites you to post on social media and share why #ThisPlaceMatters to you.

he warm mineral waters of Berkeley Springs have drawn visitors over the centuries from Native Americans to colonial notables like George Washington to today's travelers looking for stress relief and a quirky respite from daily routine. The waters flow at a constant 74 degrees in a small state park in the heart of the historic town. They are freely available for the taking from a public tap or for wading in the largest open display of spring waters in the Blue Ridge. A thriving spa community has grown up around the springs. Berkeley Springs boasts three times as many massage therapists as lawyers with a menu of more than 50 cutting edge spa treatments available daily to 21st century health seekers.
