Q: What is Type 2 diabetes?

A: Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how your body processes blood sugar (glucose). In this condition, your body either resists the effects of insulin—the hormone that regulates sugar movement into cells—or doesn’t produce enough insulin to maintain normal glucose levels. Over time, high blood sugar can lead to serious health complications if not properly managed.

Q: What causes Type 2 diabetes?

A: The exact cause is complex, but it usually results from a combination of genetic and lifestyle factors. Being overweight, physically inactive, or having a family history of diabetes increases your risk. Poor diet and prolonged stress can also contribute to insulin resistance.

Q: What are the symptoms?

A: Many people don’t notice symptoms right away. Common signs include increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, blurred vision, and slow-healing wounds. Some may also experience unexplained weight loss or frequent infections.

Q: How is Type 2 diabetes diagnosed?

A: Doctors typically use blood tests such as the fasting blood sugar test, A1C test, or oral glucose tolerance test to confirm the diagnosis.

Regular screening is recommended for individuals at higher risk.

Q: Can Type 2 diabetes be managed or reversed?

A: While there’s no permanent cure, Type 2 diabetes can often be managed—and sometimes even put into remission—through lifestyle changes. Eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, and monitoring blood sugar levels are key. Some people may also need medication.

Q: Why is early detection important?

A: Early diagnosis and treatment help prevent complications such as heart disease, nerve damage, kidney problems, and vision loss. With proper care, people with Type 2 diabetes can live long, healthy lives.

A Toast to One Year

Ballyroe Lodge marked a major milestone this month, celebrating one year under new ownership with “A Toast to One Year”. They hosted an elegant autumn evening on Friday, 24th October, of cocktails, canapés, and celebration.

Guests were welcomed into the hotel’s newly renovated lobby and cocktail bar, where seasonal décor set the tone for the night. The space was beautifully styled full of pumpkins and autumnal flower arrangements. Attendees enjoyed handcrafted cocktails, including an autumn punch specially created for the event, while soaking in the lively sounds of a DJ set. The chef’s specially selected canapés stole the show, impressing guests with their creativity, presentation, and seasonal flavours.

It was an exciting opportunity to give locals a sneak peek at the

transformation of Ballyroe Lodge following its change of ownership.

Guests received an exclusive look at the new direction of the hotel and were treated to some insider insight into upcoming enhancements that promise to elevate the guest experience even further.

The evening also offered guided tours of Ballyroe Lodge’s newly upgraded bedrooms, luxurious suites, and the elegantly redesigned bridal space featuring a vanity room and a dedicated bar for bridal parties to enjoy on the morning of their wedding or during day-two celebrations.

General Manager Jennifer Brosnan expressed her delight at the success of the event: “We were thrilled with the turnout and the support from the community. This event was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate

how far Ballyroe Lodge has come, a special thank you to everyone who continues to support us through this exciting new chapter.”

Ballyroe Lodge will continue its dedication to creating memorable

experiences for guests.

Tralee Named Ireland’s Tidiest Large Urban Centre at 2025 Tidy Towns Awards Tralee has been crowned Ireland’s Tidiest Large Urban Centre at the SuperValu Tidy Towns Competition 2025 held at Croke Park on Friday.

The win headlines a remarkable year for Kerry, with Killarney, Kenmare, Listowel, Castlegregory, Sneem, and Portmagee all recognised for their exceptional community efforts.

Tralee Tidy Towns achieved an outstanding score of 399 points, up from 383 last year, earning multiple accolades including their 13th Gold Medal, Kerry County Award, Regional Award for the South West & Mid West, Circular Economy Award, and runner-up in the National Town Centre category.

Mayor of Tralee, Cllr. Terry O’Brien, praised the achievement, saying: “Tralee has been deservingly rewarded for the tireless work of the

Tidy Towns group and volunteers who make our town shine every day.”

Across Kerry, other towns also excelled. Killarney earned another gold medal with 395 points, reflecting its continued commitment to environmental excellence.

Kenmare received the Inclusive Communities Award, showcasing its dedication to sustainability and civic pride. Listowel also secured a gold medal for its consistent beautification efforts.

John Kennelly, Director of Services at Kerry County Council, commended all groups, noting that these results highlight “the collective pride,

creativity, and community spirit that make Kerry such a beautiful place to live, work, and visit.”

Cara Credit Union Sponsors Lifesaving “Message in a Bottle” Initiative Led by Tralee Lions Club

Cara Credit Union is proud to announce its sponsorship of the “Message in a Bottle” project, a community-focused initiative run by the Tralee Lions Club. This simple yet powerful scheme is designed to support vulnerable individuals by ensuring that emergency responders have quick access to vital medical and personal information in the event of an emergency.

The initiative provides participants with a plastic bottle containing a personal information form and three green cross stickers. The bottle is stored in the refrigerator, and the stickers are placed on the fridge and inside the front and back doors of the home. These markers alert emergency services to the presence of the bottle, allowing them to locate

it quickly and access potentially lifesaving information.

Kate Walsh, Cara Credit Union branch manager in Tralee said: “We’re delighted to support this initiative, which aligns perfectly with our values of community care and safety. A few minutes can make all the difference in an emergency, and this simple bottle gives first responders the information they need to act quickly and effectively.”

The Tralee Lions Club, who coordinate the project locally, expressed their gratitude for the sponsorship: “We are delighted to have Cara Credit Union on board.

Their support helps us reach more people with this initiative, which truly can save a life” added Corinne Evans of Tralee Lions Club.

Who benefits?

• Older adults • People with disabilities or chronic health conditions • Individuals living alone • Emergency services including paramedics, Gardaí, firefighters, and hospital staff

Cara Credit Union’s sponsorship helps ensure that these bottles are available free of charge to those who need them most and can be collected at local GP’s, primary medical care centres and active retired groups around Tralee.

Tralee Comes Alive For A Spectacular Samhain Chiarraí Bank Holiday Monday Celebration

The clouds parted just in time on Bank Holiday Monday evening to allow visitors and locals alike enjoy a truly magical night of Samhain Chiarraí festivities in the heart of Tralee town.

The celebrations began on Denny Street, where the Kingdom Céilí Academy Kickers delighted the crowds with lively traditional Irish music and dance, setting a vibrant tone for the evening ahead.

The colourful procession brought the spirit of Samhain to life with spectacular costumes, stilt walkers, fire performers, large inflatables, and the striking presence of The Cailleach Chiarraí.

Following the parade, spectators were treated to the Cailleach Chiarraí Awakening Spectacle, a captivating performance telling the story of the young Cailleach’s awakening on the Dingle Promontory — brought to life through music, song, dance, and breathtaking fire artistry.

As the evening drew to a close, the weather held long enough for a dazzling fireworks display, lighting up the Tralee sky and bringing the night’s celebrations to a triumphant finish. The Samhain Chiarraí Festival series now continues its journey across Kerry, bringing the magic to Killarney from October 29th–31st, before culminating in Listowel from

LEGAL MATTERS CORNER MIRIAM MC GILLICUDDY ANSWERS YOUR LEGAL QUERIES

Fireworks and the law Pugsley is arranging a Halloween party for his children at the Addams mansion and is wondering what are the legalities around fireworks, bonfires etc. and what he should be look out for?

Fireworks are exciting items that can burn, explode, give off a loud noise and/or have a visual effect. They are divided in Irish law into four categories 1 to 4 and it is the category 1 that can be legally sold in Ireland. These include Bengal matches, Bengal sticks, Christmas Crackers, Crackling granules, Flash pellets, Fountains, Ground spinners Hand Held sparklers, Novelty Matches, Party poppers, Serpents snaps, Table bombs and Throwdowns. These can only be sold to over 12’s and importers should have a license. These fireworks are regarded as posing the least danger, they make very little noise and are usually for use in a limited space. Having said all that, they should not be used without adult supervision as one has to be careful with them. e.g. sparklers can heat up to six times the heat of a hot pan of cooking oil and can get red hot at the burning end. Party poppers have caused eye injuries at close range.

In relation to the legal category 1 fireworks the following should be on their packaging: Instructions for use, Minimum safety distance (if appropriate)“For outdoor use only” (if appropriate), Minimum age of person it can be sold to, Name, type of item and category of firework, Name of the manufacturer or importer, The CE mark and the Explosive content. Christmas crackers now if imported from the United Kingdom need to have name, address and trading name details of the importer.

Aside from the above all other fireworks ( bangers, roman candles, aerial wheels etc) are illegal in Ireland and can merit large fines/imprisonment for importation and use. Also the Gardai have considerable powers of search, seizure and arrest around use of illegal fireworks.

In relation to bonfires as burning of household and garden waste is prohibited it would appear that bonfires are illegal. Therefore it may be more appropriate to use the outdoor firepit or chimenea or even have a Halloween barbeque weather permitting.

It is a difficult time of year for animals who can get very distressed at the loud noises and it is recommended to keep the lights low or play a radio or television in the background to drown out some of the noise for your beloved friend from the animal kingdom.

Have a Happy Halloween.

Law quip: Laughter is the fireworks of the soul If you have a legal query or need further information on any item addressed in this column please send in your query to miriam.mcgillycuddy@gmail.com Miriam McGillycuddy, Solicitor, Derryana, Ballyard, Tralee, County Kerry.
