Diabetic group ‘pumps' a consultant for advice


GUEST speaker at the meet­ ing of Ribble Valley Diabetic Group was Dr Margaret Glew, a diarotic consultant at Royal Blackburn HospitaL She spoke about insulin


pumps, saying they mimic the body actions and can be pro­ grammed for high acth’e daj'S and la2y days. She added that they are very


flexible but also very costly and are now the size of a credit card, so that the patient can lead as near a normal life as possible. Before a patient can receive one they have to meet a strict


i l '


selection programme. Their diabetic control must have had disabling hyj>os and be reoc- curring and they must be will­ ing to adhere to the training programme, which takes six weete. The consultant outlines the


education programme with as­ sistance from a sp>ecialist nurse and dietitian, and during a trial


. period of two weeks their con­ trol has to shcjw improvement, because not all patients are suitable for a pump. Dr Glew replied to the many


questions with helpful an­ swers.

A LEADING local golf charity began their 2012 fund-raising with a successful opener at Stonyhurst- Park Golf Club.


Cancer (RGAC), set up in 2001 to support the Preston-based Rosemere Cancer Foundation, staged their third annual three-


ball competition at the Stonyhurst course. Nine teams took part in the


competition, which was followed by afternoon tea and presentation at.The Bayley Arms, Hurst Green.

president of RGAC, sairi: “It was a very successful event from a fund-raising aspect, and extremely enjoyable golf.


“Once again, we are indebted , to John Austin and members of


captain, John Allott, led the winning team home. He said: “The weather was a


bit unpredictable - I think we played four seasons in one day


Stonyhurst Park for hosting the day.” Rosemere .Golfers’ men’s

RGAC boasts former European


Tour professionals Paul Eales and Lora Fairclough, leading caddy Phil “Wobbly.” Morbey, recently seen caddying for Darren Clarke in the US Masters and comedian


Norman Prince amongst its patrons. The group organises several


fund-raising events golf days each year. In December 2011 it presented a cheque for more than £12,000 to the foundation.


WHEN Judith Kippax’s carer made a joke about taking up a"gruelling cy­ cling challenge, she did not expect to be taken up on her offer. Now 80-year-old Judith, who is a resi­


dent of the Manor House Nursing Home, Chatburn, has cycled the equivalent of Land’s End to John O’Groats and back again - on an exercise bike. Judith, who is originally from Simonstone, cycled a total of 1,748 miles on the electric bicycle within the comfort of the nursing home.


The mileage was being recorded on a


map of the British Isles, placed next to her electric bike, complete with a sticker fea­ turing a cycle to show her location. She started this epic journey on August


26th and completed it last month, rais­ ing £700, which will be split between the Stroke Association and the residents’ so­ cial fund. A former pupil of Clitheroe Royal


Grammar School, Judith always enjoyed sports, especially tennis and hockey. In lat­ er life she continued to pursue her sport­

ing interests, but suffered two strokes, the first in 2007, when her fingers were af­ fected, and the second on Mother’s Day in 2008, when she lost most of the feeling in her right arm and leg. A spokesman for Manor House said:


“Judith has been a resident for two years and we are all extremely proud of her achievement. In fact, she is like a celebrity here now.” • Anyone wishing to donate towards


Judith’s cycling challenge is asked to call 01200441394.
