she is, but she insists that she looks older. She claims she is fat and ugly, so she no longer wants to go out with friends, go to a movie or out dancing or attend family functions. She is the only one who sees herself this way. I think she looks Qne. Nonetheless, she will do nothing to change her appearance. She won't exercise or eat healthier foods. She drinks alcohol excessively, smokes too much and rejectsthe idea of cosmetic surgery. Instead, she wants to stay behind closed doors. The real problem is that she also expects me not to attend any family functions, go out with &iends, etc. I have stayed in good shape and have taken some measures to slow the aging process. I' ve had hair replacement and done dental work. I exercise daily and maintain a healthy diet. So now she wants me to go bald, give up exer-

I have never been critical of her and still love her very much, but I think she could help herself if she wanted to. Should I let myself go to please her and make her feel better about herself? I think not, but what say you? —CONFUSED BY WIFE D EAR C O N F USED: Th i s shouldn't b e a b ou t l o oking younger, which only goes so far. It's about a healthier life. You already know that wearen'tgoing to tell you to sabotage your efforts simply because your wife is insecure. She is well-aware that exercising, along with curtailing her drinking and giving up
smoking,could make her appear younger, but she is unwilling to do that. The most you can do is reassure her that you love her and that she is beautiful in your eyes. Then ignore her complaints as best you can. Improving her health is a do-it-yourself project. If she is ever ready to tackle it, please be as supportive as you can. Meanwhile,you do not have to curtail family functions and other activities with friends because yourwife refuses to go. Go on your own. DEAR ANNIE: My dad retired from his job in his early 60s. Mom (now 90) was a stay-at-home wife and mother. She did all the cooking, cleaning, grass cutting, painting, sewing, mending, shopping, paying bills, chauffeuring, school conferences and just about anything else that needed to be done for the household. For three days after retiring, my
dad (now 88) just laid around watching television and asking my mom to "get me this and that," not lifting a jmger. Three days was enough for her. She promptly sat down next to him in her recliner and announced, "Sweetheart, starting today I am retired, too!" They never looked back. They share in everythmg and are still marriedafter nearly 69 years.My mama made her point: If Mama isn't happy, no one is happy.— B. DEAR B.: Your mama certainly didn't beat around the bush. Kudos to her. A nnie's Mailbox t s

Excess refined sugar should always be avoided DEAR DR. ROACK My husband' s recent lab work showed that he had aglucosereading of72 (82-115 is considered a healthyrange).Is this a precursor to diabetes? Should he bestaying away from refined sugar? His father had diabetes and had his leg amputated. I do not want this to happen to my husband. Please let me know if there is anything we can doto keep him in goodhealth. — D.H. ANSWER: Diabetes mellitus, sometimescalled "sugardiabetes,"iscaused by a lack of or resistance to insulin, eventually causing blood sugar to go up. Your husband's blood sugar is below the limits of the laboratory. If anything, it' s too low, not too high. A blood sugar that is too low is called "hypoglycemia," but I wouldn't be concerned about that diagnosis — 72 is considered normal in most laborator ies,andbloodthatsitsaround in the lab for a few hours before being run oken leads to an artificially low reading. I don't think you need to worry aboutdiabetesbased on thisreading. Everyone should stay away from excessrefined sugar,though, especially someone with a family history of diabe-

To Your Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. tes. A healthy diet, regular exercise and maintaining a good weight are the most effect iveways ofpreventing diabetes. Diabetes has become epidemic in North America. The booklet on it provides insight on its diagnosis and treatment. Readers can order a copy by writing: Dr. Roach Book No. 402, 628 Virginia Dr., Orlando, FL 32803. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.SJ$6 Can. with the recipient's printed name and address. Please allowfourweeksfordelivery. DEAR DR ROACH: I often see mention of chronic cough in your column. I couldn't even eat out because I invariably coughed through the meal. I was embarrassed while shopping be-
cause of the way people looked at me, as though I was contagious. I had that problemfor ayear,and visited my own physician and three ENT physicians, with no help. I was treated for asthma and given many different inhalers and sprays. I finally found the solution when, after a year of coughing, I happened to read about the side effects of lisinopril, one being a chronic cough. I went off lisinopril, and the cough instantly disappeared. When I told my cardiologist, he called it the lisinopril cough and couldn't believe no other doctor had figured it out. I just think you should occasionally bring this side effect to the attention of the public. — I.L. ANSWER: Lisinopril, like all angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors
(ACE inhibitors, for short), may cause cough. This usually happens within a week or two of starting the medication, but the cough can show itself even after six months on the medication. About one person in 10 who takes the medication will get a cough, and the only real cure is to stop the medication. This stops the cough within a week for most,

but again, the resolution of the cough is sometimesdelayed. The other side effect of ACE inhibitors, which is much less common but much more serious, is angioedema. This usually shows up as swelling of the lips and tongue. It is a life-threatening emergency, requiring permanent discontinuation of the entire class of medication and an emergency-room visit. It is rare — only about three people per thousand who take the medication are affected — but is five times more common in people of African descent. Everyone who takes an ACE inhibitor (the generic names all end in "-pril," such as ramipril, enalapril and fosinopril) needs to know about these side effects. Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporatethem in the column whenever
possible. Readersmay email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu

Today in history Today is Saturday, Jan. 30, the 30th day of 2016. There are 336 days left in the year. Today's Highlights in History: On Jan. 30, 1945, during World War II, more than 500 Allied captives held at the Japanese prison camp in Cabanatuan (kah-bahnah-TOO'-ahn) in the Philippines were liberated by U.S. Army Rangers, Alamo Scouts and Filipino guerrilla fighters. Adolf Hitler marked the 12th anniversary of his appointment as Germany's chancellor with his last public speech in which he called on Germans to keep resisting until victory. On this date: In 1948, Indian political and spiritual leader Mohandas K. Gandhi, 78, was shot and killed in New Delhi by Nathuram Godse (nehtoo-RAHM' gahd-SAY'), a Hindu extremist. (Godse and a co-conspirator were later executed.) Aviation pioneer Orville Wright, 76, died in Dayton, Ohio. In 1968, the Tet Offensive began during the Vietnam War as Communist forces launched surprise attacks against South Vietnamese provincial capitals. In 2005, Iraqis voted in their country's first free election in a half-century; President George W. Bush called the balloting a resounding success. The downing of a C-130 military transport plane north of Baghdad killed all 10 British servicemen on board; the militant group Ansar al-Islam claimed responsibility. In Northern Ireland, Robert McCartney, 33, was fatally stabbed in a fight at a Belfast pub by members of the Irish Republican Army. Marat Safin defeated Lleyton Hewitt 1-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 to win the Australian Open.

He must take Open in g l ead: V K a spade trick — but how? Declarer wins with his heart ace, draws trumps, and pauses to consider the spade situation. He knows from the bidding that the suit is either 5-1 or 6-0. If it is 6-0, playing low to dummy's queen works fine. If the split is 5-1, that is also successful if East's singleton spade is at best the jack. But if East has the spade ace or king, South must duck the first spade trick. Which is the right play, and why? Remember the opening lead: If West had started with the spade ace-king and heart king-queen, he would have led the spade ace, not the heart king. So South should lead a spade from his hand and play low from the dummy.
