Survive the Resolution
Q:
Statistics show people can’t keep up resolutions past February. But I ended the year heavier and run-down. I’m really motivated now. How do I jump on this without becoming a statistic?
W
ith the holiday’s over, you join the majority of Americans—heavier and wanting a change! Resolving to lose weight and get into the best shape of your life is a good thing.
Too often, though, these lofty goals are not met. Follow these steps to succeed at that New Year’s resolution to get fit: 1. Tell Someone You Trust About Your Resolution. This will motivate you to get results because someone else is counting on you. 2. Do Not Diet Instead, change your lifestyle. In other words, there is no end to your new healthy nutrition plan. 3. Get a Buddy Having a partner in fitness is a great way to stay accountable. Drive each other to achieve results and you both benefit. 4. Go Slow Don’t make sweeping changes. Start with an easily attainable goal, like just getting to the gym three times a week. Succeed at this, then move on. 5. Take it in Stride Don’t beat yourself up for a slip up. If you couldn’t resist the french fries, don’t give up and order the brownie sundae. Put it behind you and get back on track.
For more information on Anthem Senior Living or Anthem Senior Retreat, contact Sam or Cheryl Ile at Cheryl@anthemseniorliving.com or…
6. The Time is Right Take advantage of New Year’s promotions at fitness centers. Choose a program that will help you set/maintain goals. Look for a place that doesn’t make you feel intimidated, but has an environment of encouragement.

The Take a Stand Project by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed office workers who began using a desk that could be raised or lowered allowing them to switch between sitting and standing over the course of the day reported notable health benefits.

“The Take-a-Stand Project was successful at increasing non-sitting behavior by 224 percent based on ESM and by 66 minutes per day (i.e., a 16.1 percent reduction in sedentary time),” reported the article. “Eighty-seven percent felt more comfortable, 87 percent felt energized, 75 percent felt healthier, 71 percent felt more focused, 66 percent felt more productive, 62 percent felt happier, and 33 percent felt less stressed as a result of having the sit-stand device installed at their work stations.” Subjects also reported less upper back and neck pain, as well as a reduction in fatigue, tension, confusion, and depression.

Stand a Chance (Get off your butt)

By Sydney Marsing
etween the job, the commute, the TV screen and the computer, the average American spends most of their waking hours on their butt. We have known for decades that too little exercise can be detrimental. Researchers now believe too much sitting—independent of how much exercise you get—may be bad, as well. One study found that over a 21-year period, men who spent more than 10 hours a week in a car had an 82 percent greater risk of dying of cardiac disease than those who spent less than four hours a week in a car. They concluded that, while exercise still significantly reduces the risk of heart disease, we simultaneously need to cut 4 |
down on sitting. The Active Couch Potato Researchers discovered an “Active Couch Potato” phenomenon; people who live sedentary lives while still reaching recommended physical activity levels. Think the office worker who completes his morning hourlong run before sitting behind his computer the rest of the day. Regardless of how much they hit the gym, the more TV watched in a week, the higher the risk of problems “with waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, and 2-hour plasma glucose,” and more according to an article in Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews.

If you don’t need adjustability, consider raising your desk with a platform and pairing it with a bar-height stool you can push out of the way occasionally. Treadmill Desks These range from small laptop shelves that can attach to an existing treadmill, and treadmills designed to fit underneath a standing desk, to treadmills with full-sized workstations built in.

How a
Smartphone Hack is Changing Life for Diabetics
Nightscout brings back a lot of freedom, relieves anxiety and stress, and improves health... not just for the person with diabetes, but all those involved in caring for him or her.” John Costik, a founder of Nightscout. 8 |

By Karen Goveia
ayleigh Pahnke is an active freshman at Boulder Creek High. When she’s not in school, she’s likely at an afterschool club or on the fields helping coach her sister’s cheer team. Hayleigh has Type 1 diabetes and for the past decade her parents’ lives have been turned upside down as they struggle to manage the disease for her, in hopes of letting Hayleigh focus on being a kid.
Raising a child with diabetes is a relentless responsibility that interferes with activities during the day and sleep during the night. The unpredictability of blood sugar spikes and potentially fatal drops associated with the disease keeps parents on edge. Letting their children venture far from them or for long periods is simply not possible for some. “There’s been no level of comfortability; It’s hard to sleep and ever really relax,” LUMINATE | DECEMBER 2014
Costik got to work. Like most type 1 patients, Costik’s son wears a Dexcom device that measures his blood sugar every 5 minutes and displays it on a receiver— that looks something like an iPod—and must be within 20 feet of the child. Now, Costik knew the simple solution would be to upload the data from the receiver to the internet.
During the night, Kristi checks Hayleigh’s sugar levels at least twice, sometimes more depending on her readings. At school, Hayleigh is accustomed to visits to the nurse’s office every two hours or so for a finger poke. At times she is frustrated by the disease, “I saw that every piece other times, embarrassed. of a remote blood glucose But, Hayleigh has learned to monitoring existed: CGM accept it.

Through CGM in the In February 2013, Costik Cloud, a networking group began to decipher how the for parents of children with Dexcom CGM device sends Type 1 diabetes, the Pahnkes and retrieves data and by discovered a method of May, had a rudimentary monitoring Hayleigh’s Android app working.

A remote monitoring are no matter how far away she is. The solution is called Nightscout, a do-it-yourself system developed by other parents of children with diabetes. It began when John Costik, a systems and software engineer, was anxious at the thought of sending his 4-year-old off to school without being able to personally track his blood glucose.

system was ready for Costik’s son before he started school and today, the opensource Nightscout offers peace of mind previously unbeknownst to thousands of parents. As soon as the Pahnke’s learned about Nightscout, they jumped onboard. Hayleigh already had the Dexcom so her parents were got the cable and an uploader phone with a cheap data plan, and for about $100 were up and running. Kristi and her husband can now breathe a little easier when Hayleigh’s not nearby. And, Hayleigh enjoys a little more freedom. “This is something we have waited years to be able to do. It’s priceless!” Kristi said. Within days of hooking it up, the Nightscout had already helped the Pahnke’s avoid a potentially dangerous situation at school. “I could see on my

monitoring device that my daughter’s blood sugar was dropping fast… I called the wonderful school nurse at Boulder Creek who immediately went to get my daughter who was, in fact, low and didn’t realize it.” When the nurse found Hayleigh, she was about to get on the bus home—a dangerously long 25-minute trip for a diabetic incident. “Everything was fine, but without this device, things could have gone bad.”
Other than a few crashes and the occasional dead phone battery, Kristi said the Nightscout’s reliability has been spot on. The device awaits approval by the FDA, though Costik said the process is moving along. “ We are waiting on a few details from the FDA and need to perform a gap analysis on several issues they would like us to address—primarily around adverse event reporting, safety and privacy.”
In the meantime, parents are taking advantage of the solution. A recent check-up at Hayleigh’s endocrinologist revealed her very much improved average blood glucose, which Kristi attributes to the ability to stay on top of her daughter’s blood sugar levels through Nightscout. Hayleigh is excited at the prospect of being able to do so much more, including going on her first sleepover at a non-diabetic friend’s house.
HOW NIGHTSCOUT WORKS Nightscout is not something you can order from a store. It is more a citizen hack, a do-it-yourself project that can be completed in less than an hour. Nightscout is not FDA approved and nor covered by insurance.
