20.01.2022 Diabetes and depression A deadly combination 13 November 2015 Diabetes and depression A deadly combination Type 2 diabetes affects around one million Australians. Evidence suggests that up to 1/3 of these people will also develop depression, making it one of the most common complications of Type 2 diabetes. Saturday November 14th 2016 is World Diabetes Day. Whilst depression co-occurs in many chronic health conditions, its occurrence with diabetes can be particularly dan...gerous because of the direct negative impact on metabolism, self-care regimens, work and social functioning, and overall morbidity and mortality. Dr Janine Clarke of the Black Dog Institute says high rates of depression in people with diabetes, and the escalating burden of both conditions, is a ticking time bomb for Australians. We know that the relationship between depression and diabetes is complex the psychological, social and biological aspects of the conditions mean that one can exacerbate the other. Currently, the primary aim of diabetes treatment is to reduce the physical impact of the disease on organs such as the eyes, heart and feet but it’s important we bring attention to the ‘invisible’ issues of mood and other mental health problems that are often missed in people with type 2 diabetes. We need to address these issues in ways that are flexible and accessible. We cannot expect that people with type 2 diabetes have the time, money or motivation to add yet another medical specialist to their regime. To address this, we’re trialling a simple online, self-help program aimed at helping people with type 2 diabetes live more active, healthier and happier lives. The program, developed by mental health specialists, assesses the specific mental health needs of the user, and then provides them with a comprehensive and personalised psychological program they can access any time of the day or night. The program is free, completely confidential and accessible 24/7 from anywhere in Australia by computer, mobile phone, or iPad. The Black Dog Institute, UNSW Australia and The University of Melbourne Springboard trial is currently seeking adults with type 2 diabetes to take part. Trial access and more information can be found online at https://springboard.blackdoghealth.org.au Dr Janine Clarke, trial manager, is available for comment.

18.01.2022 Don't be an April Fool: there's no rush to fill up your tank with Guest Columnist Christopher Zinn You might have heard this yarn so often you believe it. You might have even filled up your tank precipitously this week. But it’s official petrol prices do NOT go up because of holidays or long weekends.... It’s become part of Aussie folklore, and many of us are quite certain the price gouge at the pump unceasingly coincides with the time when many of us take to the road. Christopher Zinn But for the record, the consumer watchdog diligently tracks and analyses petrol price cycles and they're clear there is no connection. The ACCC puts this urban myth down to price rises being more noticeable before holiday weekends because we are driving further and filling up more. If you don’t believe the ACCC, the University of New England's Professor Abbas Valadkhani kindly went through 7 years of price data with a fine tooth comb. He found the impact of holidays was insignificant and the prof’s tip to make savings is to fill up in those places which have the strongest price cycles and hence the most competition, although those cycles are less predictable. Sadly, another costly surprise at the pumps during the holidays is no myth, and that is that petrol costs significantly more in the bush. This is one phenomenon the ACCC not only acknowledges, but is taking action about, with new petrol monitoring arrangements to find out why. Their first target is Darwin, where average retail petrol prices were almost 20c higher than the biggest five capital cities! What does it all mean for you at the bowser this weekend? My best tip for travellers this long weekend is to leave filling up until you quit the big smoke. That's the ACCC’s tip this week for Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne: Prices are decreasing, but they are likely to decrease further if possible, motorists should delay buying petrol until later. If you’re cruising around NSW this Easter don’t drive past Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong or Canberra. In Victoria fill up in Melbourne, Geelong and Sunbury. In Queensland the competition hot-spots are said to be Brisbane, Caboolture, Caloundra, Gold Coast, Ipswich and a region around Maryborough and Gympie. You can check the ACCC’s updated advice on Friday at this link: https://www.accc.gov.au//petrol-diese/petrol-price-cycles So if you’re visiting the country from the city this weekend, enjoy the countryside and the fact you don’t have to pay their petrol prices everyday! Drive safe. Christopher Zinn, Consumer advocate & FiftyUp Club guest columnist

18.01.2022 On 20th September, Katie Lee. student of the Sydney University Nursing School will be running her first half marathon -- 21km -- for the Children's Hospital at Westmead. The Children’s Hospital at Westmead is the largest paediatric centre in NSW, providing excellent care for children from NSW, Australia and across the Pacific Rim. Established in 1880, a stand alone public Hospital and registered charity, The Children’s Hospital at Westmead serves over 60,000 admitted sick chi...ldren and their families each year in a family-focused healing environment. In 2008 I suffered a serious head injury after falling from my horse. Helicoptered to The Children’s Hospital at Westmead in a critical condition, I spent the next few days in the Intensive Care Unit before being transferred to a Ward. I hardly recall the days in ICU, but I do know that the doctors and nurses were fantastic not only with me, but also my parent’s. I can’t imagine how scary it would be to see the little girl I nanny lying unconscious with chords and tubes going everywhere, let alone my own child. This experience, coupled with my love of children & soon-to-be-nursing profession makes this an incredibly worthy cause. Your donation will contribute to the care of other children and parents trying to cope in difficult times, and help the Hospital employ the best possible health-care workers available to bring a little bit of joy to these families. So nursing kids, any donation you can afford to make would be greatly appreciated. So far I have raised almost $600 for the cause, so anything big or small helps to make a difference & will go a long way.

10.01.2022 130TH (ST JOHN) FIELD AMBULANCE RESEARCH GROUP The 130th (St John) Field Ambulance research group members are a small team with connections to St John Ambulance and the Royal Army Medical Corps. We are dedicated to the commemoration and history of this unique Welsh unit. www.130thstjohnfieldambulance.co.uk... The 130th was one of three Field Ambulance units raised to support Lloyd George’s Welsh Army. The majority of the men in the unit were experienced St John First Aiders and stretcher-bearers working in the South Wales coalfields. The unit was formed by Herbert Lewis, Deputy Commissioner for St John Ambulance District X1 (South Wales). It was the only WW1 unit allowed to call itself St John and to wear the St John insignia as part of the uniform. The 130th served in France and Flanders from 4th December 1915 until the end of the war. The men served at the infamous Battle at Mametz Wood in 1916 and the 3rd Battle of Ypres in 1917. Amongst the Awards and Decorations the men earned at least 26 Military Medals for gallantry, two Distinguished Conduct Medals and two Croix de Guerre. They served with distinction and the Commanding Officer was the only C.O. of a Welsh unit to remain in charge from his appointment until his discharge from the service. Our aim is to use personal journals and diaries, newspaper reports together with the Regimental Diary and photographs to present the most comprehensively available unit history of any WW1 unit.
