Help State
Worthy President,
Jim Beyerlein,
reach his goal of
1200 new and reenrolled
members
and one new Aerie. This year’s
program will again award those

than one new or reenrolled

State Auxiliary Membership Program
Sisters –
State Madam
President Kasey’s
slogan is “Gather
a Bouquet of New
Members.” She
has asked current members to
“Enthusiastically, Excite, Enroll,
Educate, Encourage” new members.
She has pledged 500 new and
reenrolled members. During the
year, as we visit the Auxiliaries, we
will be promoting membership. As
membership chairman, I will be giving
away cash prizes. At each Conference
there will be 4 drawings of $25 for
first proposers (need not be present to
win) and 5 drawings of $10 for those
first proposers in attendance (must be
present to win).
At the end of the year, at next year’s
convention, the highest producing
Auxiliary will receive a trophy and
traveling trophy. The 3 highest
producers will receive cash awards and
a trophy will go to the Auxiliary with
the lowest delinquency. For reenrolled
members, the highest producer will
receive a $25 cash award and there
will be 5 drawings of $10 for those first
proposers in attendance.
State Madam President Kasey
would also like for you to consider
“quality versus quantity” when
enrolling new members so our
Auxiliary will grow and not end up
with large numbers of delinquent and
dropped members.
We look forward to working with
each and every one of you and you’re
Auxiliary. Please remember, if you
have any questions or need help, please
contact State Madam President Kasey
or myself.
Let’s start “Gathering those
Bouquets of New Members” and help
State Madam President Kasey reach
her goal of new members.

Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Outreach Initiatives
The Desert Southwest Chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation
(JDRF) understands our undeniable obligation to find support to those with this
devastating disease until a cure is found. Our Chapter’s goal for our outreach
programs is to expand it, providing more in-depth and vital resources to those
living with type 1 diabetes. Our Outreach Initiative is to support families and
individuals living with type 1 diabetes through educational and social events in
the State of Arizona. The grant funds would be used to execute events for families
living with type 1 diabetes and events for adults living with type 1 diabetes. These
events would utilize current community partners to bring education and resources
to better the quality of life for those living with this disease. JDRF currently has
two growing outreach event programs: The Type One Families United Network
(for families of children living with type 1 diabetes) and the Adult Type 1 Network.
Both networks offer events to pair educational workshops or sessions with a social
outing, to inform and motivate those with type 1 diabetes. TOFUN currently
has volunteer leadership in Greater Phoenix and Tucson in the state of Arizona.
The Adult Type 1 Network has volunteer leadership in Flagstaff. In order to
sponsor these events and to provide materials, JDRF must acquire local grants.
All outreach funding is through community grants as fundraising revenue goes
towards research to find a cure for type 1 diabetes.
Local Outreach Programs funded through community grants & support
include
• Bag of Hope - A free outreach program designed to provide information
and support to families with children who have been newly diagnosed
with type 1 diabetes. A Bag of Hope contains a variety of educational
and comforting support materials—some geared to the child, and some
geared to their caregivers—the most popular of which is Rufus, the Bear
with Diabetes, but also includes a support video, children’s books, and an
Accu-Chek® Blood Glucose Meter.
• Mentorship Program – Mentors are available to contact the newly
diagnosed families and adults to offer support. Mentors are parents or
adults that have gone through the diagnosis themselves and have lived with
diabetes for years. All mentors go through a formal JDRF mentor training
before contacting families and individuals.
• TOFUN (Type One Families United Network) – TOFUN is the
JDRF family network that aims to provide social and educational events for
families. Not only are families able to receive information on living with
diabetes, as well as research updates, but they can meet with other families
living with type 1 diabetes and have a fun time! continued on page 5

DIABETES MYTH:
Taking insulin cures
diabetes.
DIABETES FACT:
Taking insulin keeps people
with type 1 diabetes alive,
but does not cure the
disease. While progress
toward finding a cure has
been substantial, there is
still no cure for diabetes.
DIABETES MYTH:
Diabetes is caused by
obesity, or eating too much
sugar.
DIABETES FACT:
While obesity has been
identified as one of the
“triggers” for type 2
diabetes, it has no relation
to the cause of type 1
diabetes. Scientists do
not yet know exactly what
causes type 1 diabetes,
but they believe that both
genetic and environmental
factors are involved. Eating
too much sugar is not a
factor.
DIABETES MYTH:
With strict adherence to a
specific diet and exercise
plan, and multiple insulin
injections each day based
on careful monitoring
of blood sugar levels, a
person with type 1 diabetes
can easily gain tight control
over his or her blood sugar
levels.
DIABETES FACT:
While the above strategy
is the most effective way
to achieve and maintain
tight control of blood sugar
levels, optimal blood sugar
control can be very difficult
for some patients. Many
factors, including stress,
hormone changes, periods
of growth, and illness can
easily cause blood sugars
to swing out of control.
Teenagers, in particular,
may be susceptible to this
problem, as their bodies
go through many changes
during adolescence. Also,
some people with type
1 find that even though
they strive for tight control
and follow their meal plan
and insulin schedule,
they still experience rapid
fluctuations in their blood
glucose. Those fluctuations
do not mean the person
with diabetes has done
anything wrong.

DIABETES MYTH:
People with diabetes should
never eat sweets.
DIABETES FACT:
Limiting sweets will help
people with type 1 diabetes
keep their blood sugar
under control, but, with
advice from their doctor or
nutritionist, sweets can fit
into their meal plan, just
as they would for people
without diabetes. And there
are times when sweets
are a must: If the blood
sugar level drops too low,
sweets (or juice, or soda)
can be the surest to raise
it, and prevent the onset of
hypoglycemia.
DIABETES MYTH:
People with diabetes can’t
participate in athletics.
DIABETES FACT:
Physical exercise is
important for everyone’s
health, and is especially
important for people with
diabetes. Regular exercise
helps lower blood sugar
levels and keep them in
the target range. There
are countless examples
of athletes who have
had great success, from
Olympic Gold Medalist
swimmer Gary Hall to ice
hockey great Bobby Clarke.
DIABETES MYTH:
Only kids get type 1
diabetes.
DIABETES FACT:
Type 1 diabetes, formerly
known as “juvenile” or
“juvenile onset” diabetes,
is often first diagnosed
in children, teenagers, or
young adults. However,
people may develop type 1
diabetes at any age.
DIABETES MYTH:
Kids don’t get type 2
diabetes.
DIABETES FACT:
Though type 2 diabetes
is usually diagnosed in
adulthood, increased
obesity and other factors
have led to a recent
“epidemic” of this form of
diabetes in young adults
and children under 10. Still,
most children diagnosed
with diabetes get type 1.
