Where can I turn in soda can tabs for money?

Q. I live in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago, IL and I was wondering where I can turn in pop can tabs for money so I can donate the money to the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. Does anyone know where I can turn them in?

A. They don't actually take them for donations for diabetes. This is a HUGE urban legend.
You can take them to the recycling depot where they will redeem the aluminum for what the weight is worth, which is very little. You would need a lot of tabs.
Snopes says: "Charity groups and the aluminum industry say they have been fighting misconseptions about collecting pop can tabs for years"

Original Question

If I am planning on doing a small fundraiser, should I contact the charity first?

Q. I've been thinking about raising money for CODA (Central Ohio Diabetes Association) and JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) by shaving my head. Kind of like a "How much will you pay me to shave my head?" then giving the money to the two organizations. Should I contact these organizations beforehand?

A. Yes, you should contact them beforehand. First, if someone wants to verify that you are truly collecting money for them, then they have the real answer. 2nd, before you decide, you should have a $ amount in mind. Will you shave your head for $5? What if no one really cares if you shave your head or not and you only get a little money? I think that perhaps the shaving of the head could be a part of the fund raiser, but not the whole thing. How much do you realistically think you can get for shaving your head? Will it be enough to share with 2 such large organizations? Consider joining another fund raiser or donate to a local group. Think out your options before you speak publicly.

What charities does the Jonas Brothers Change for the Children Foundation donate to ?

Q. my friend and i are doing a fundraiser at our school and donating all the money to the change for the children foundation, but we need to know exactly what charities they donate the money to first.
i know there were the five charities for 'you decide, you donate' but I heard that's over now? so are they still donating to those 5? are those the only five charities they are donating money to now? are they donating to a bunch of different ones now ?
as much information as possible would be very helpful !

A. The old five were NothingButNets.net, American Diabetes Association's Diabetes Camp, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, and Summer Stars. As far as I know, there are no other charities they are currently donating to and I'm pretty sure they're done donating to the five they recently had up on the site.

What happens when you have proteinuria and Type One diabetes?

Q. Two years ago, before I was diagnosed with type one, I was diagnosed with proteinuria. Last December, I was diagnosed with Type one diabetes. I haven't seen my kidney specialist since. But should I make an appointment? Is it possible that things are different now that I have diabetes?
Thanks!

A. Yes , different and not for the better. Git with it , dialysis is a real pain. In fact , my cousin had two treatments and he ordered them to pull the plug. They did. And that is the rest of the story>>>

What should a person do?
If a person has diabetes, hypertension, or both, the first goal of treatment will be to control blood glucose, also called blood sugar, and blood pressure. People with diabetes should test their blood glucose often, follow a healthy eating plan, take prescribed medicines, and get the amount of exercise recommended by their doctor. A person with diabetes and high blood pressure may need a medicine from a class of drugs called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or a similar class called angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). These drugs have been found to protect kidney function even more than other drugs that provide the same level of blood pressure control. Many patients with proteinuria but without hypertension may also benefit from ACE inhibitors or ARBs. The American Diabetes Association and the American College of Cardiology recommend that people with diabetes keep their blood pressure below 130/80.3

People who have high blood pressure and proteinuria, but not diabetes, also benefit from taking an ACE inhibitor or ARB. The Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure recommends that people with kidney disease keep their blood pressure below 130/80.4 To maintain this target, a person may need to take a combination of two or more blood pressure medicines. A doctor may also prescribe a diuretic in addition to an ACE inhibitor or ARB. Diuretics are also called �water pills� because they help a person urinate and get rid of excess fluid in the body.

In addition to blood glucose and blood pressure control, the National Kidney Foundation recommends restricting dietary salt and protein. A doctor may refer a patient to a dietitian to help develop and follow a healthy eating plan.

How do diabetes and high blood pressure effect each other?

Q. Almost daily, I am dizzy and have blurred vision. It is during the morning hours that it is the worst. I don't have the other symptoms (thirst and frequent urination) of diabetes, however. Recently, my blood pressure has been higher (160/110), during the morning hours, than usual. Though, it isn't high every morning I feel dizzy and have blurred vision.

A. Hi
Diabetes and high blood pressure are definitely connected. Exercise and the elimination of high carbohydrate foods from the diet would be the first important step to take.

The combination of diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure, has been called The Metabolic Syndrome.

Some links that might help:

Highly recommended book by Dr. Bernstein on controlling blood sugar:
http://www.amazon.com/Dr-Bernsteins-Diabetes-Solution-Achieving/dp/0316099066

All about high blood pressure at the Life Extension Foundation website. Use the pull-down menu "Select Health Concerns" to look up diabetes and other conditions:
http://www.lef.org/protocols/heart_circulatory/high_blood_pressure_01.htm

Free online nutrition plan that will help both conditions at Dr. Mercola's site:
http://www.mercola.com/nutritionplan/index.htm

You might consider finding a doctor that will focus on lifestyle factors rather than drugs since diabetes 2 and high blood pressure are very much connected to obesity, diet and exercise.

Best of luck to you.

How can I get my husband to take care of his diabetes?

Q. My husband has diabetes. We do not have health insurance. He is eligible to get some help from the VA as he was in the Navy, but so far he just hasn't gone. It is now affecting our sex life and has for over 2 years. The last time that I know he checked his blood sugar it was well over 400. If I can't get him to eat better ( such as cutting down on his carb portions that turn into sugar), is it too wrong of me to take out a life insurance policy on him. He is 43. We've been married for just 5 years. I need considerate and helpful advice.

A. Please contact the American Diabetes Foundation-THey can probably help you if not treated diabetes leads to all types of things besides death-blindness,kidney failure,neuropathy,amputation,heart attack-This is not something to ignore and there are no quick fixes-it takes discipline.meds,diet and exercise. You will not be able to get life insurance on an uncontrolled diabetic
