Diabetes is often misunderstood and surrounded by misconceptions. It is not simply caused by eating too much sugar, nor is being overweight the only factor. Diabetes is a complex condition influenced by genetics, weight, activity level, age, and ethnicity.

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body attacks insulin-producing cells. Type 2 diabetes results from a combination of factors, and people of any weight can develop it.

Managing diabetes involves more than diet. Carbohydrates and sweets can be included in moderation with portion control. Regular exercise improves insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control. Management often includes lifestyle changes, medication, and monitoring. Insulin is essential for type 1 and sometimes needed for type 2 as insulin production declines.

If you have diabetes, always follow your healthcare provider’s advice.

Being a family caregiver is rewarding, but it often comes with physical and emotional challenges. Caregivers may feel isolated as they step back from social activities to care for loved ones. Friends and family might not understand the demands or may withdraw out of uncertainty. Still, support doesn’t have to be complicated. Small, thoughtful gestures can make a meaningful difference.

• Offer to run errands or pick up groceries
• Bring over a meal or set up a meal train
• Help with chores like laundry, dishes, or yard work
• Stay with their loved one so they can take a break
• Assist with organizing medical or legal documents
• Share helpful tech tools for caregiving
• Check in regularly and listen without judgment
• Encourage caregivers to care for their own health

Spirit Week was a blast at ClearSky Weatherford!

We wrangled up some cowboys for Western Day, time-traveled through the ’60s, ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s on Decades Day, and brought our best puns to life on Punny Day. Disney Day gave us a dose of magic (and 101 Dalmatians). We wrapped it all up with costumes for Halloween, where our mad scientists stirred up some fun drinks.

This year’s costume winner is… the ClearSky Care Bear.

Thanks to everyone for the laughs, creativity, and team spirit all week long.
