BEAT DIABETES TODAY MIND AND BODY On WHO’s World Health Day, April 7th, some staggering results were revealed that could have a huge impact on people from this province. BY HERALD STAFF T he number of cases of dia- betes has quadrupled over the last 25 years, with some 450-million people affected worldwide. According to the Canadian Diabetes Association, 3.4-million peo- ple in this country are impacted, a num- ber that translates to 12 per cent of this province being affected by the disease. The research did not differentiate be- tween type 1 and type 2 diabetes, but most cases (85–95 per cent) of adult di- abetes are type 2, so the observed rise is likely due to increases in type 2 diabetes, say the research scientists.

PUZZLES & BRAIN TEASERS EACH WEEK TRAIN YOUR BRAIN WITH CLEVER PUZZLES! The Newfoundland Herald challenges readers to a collection of brain building activities. ANSWER US THIS... A young woman tells her parents that she is engaged to a nice man whom she just met, and upon getting to know him the parents learn that he spent 6 months in a juvenile detention facility, 2 years in prison and 2 years in a mental facility for the criminally insane. Upon learning what the man did to get into each of these facilities, they gave their daughter their blessing to marry him. Why? Answer – The young man was employed in each of these facilities. The girl’s parents were pleased to know that in order to work at these facilities he had gotten a degree in substance abuse counseling, gone to the police academy to get certified as a corrections officer, and ultimately become a nurse practitioner via night-school to get a job at the mental facility.
