American Diabetes Month - There are
“many faces of diabetes.” Nearly 21 million children and adults
in the United States are living with diabetes, and another 54
million people are at-risk. But those aren’t the only faces
affected by diabetes.
If
you are a parent or loved one caring for someone
with diabetes, your face is in the picture too.
Every week throughout November’s American Diabetes
Month, the American Diabetes Association will focus
on a different “face” of diabetes.

complications, saving companies thousands of dollars

When we change our clocks -
Beginning in 2007, most of the United States
begins Daylight Saving Time at 2:00 a.m. on the
second Sunday in March and reverts to standard
time on the first Sunday in November. In the
U.S., each time zone switches at a different
time. The official spelling is Daylight Saving
Time, not Daylight SavingS Time.
Saving
is used here as a verbal adjective (a
participle). It modifies time and tells us more about its nature; namely, that it is
characterized by the activity of saving
daylight. It is a saving
daylight kind of time. Because of
this, it would be more accurate to refer to DST
as daylight-saving time. [read
