Unfortunately, most people forget
to set the thermostat back on a
regular basis. One way to ensure the
thermostat is always back when
appropriate is to invest in a
programmable thermostat. There
are many programmable
thermostats on the market with a
variety of features. The cost
effectiveness of a particular type
will depend on the type of heating
system you have and how much you
are willing to set back the
thermostat.
Following arc two recipes,
developed by the ADA and tested
for people with diabetes who have
dietary restrictions. These will also
be great for any of you who are
interested in good food and nutri-
tion.
Remember, portion control is
the secret to a diabetic's diet or to

not the cost of installation. Be sure
to purchase a thermostat from a
reputable dealer; a warranty is
worthless if the manufacturer will
be out of business in a few months.
As with the purchase of any product,
you should check out retailers or
manufacturers that are unfamiliar
to you, by calling your local Better
Business Bureau.
One last warning about
thermostat purchases is to be
cautious about buying a thermostat
in conjunction with another energy-
saving product. Not all homes need
both products, and huge utility bill
savings will not necessarily occur
from installing both. For example,
one company sells a thermostat
along with a radiant barrier.
Many products are available that
will save energy, but installing
them all at once will not provide
cumulative savings. For instance, if
you have three products, each
designed to save 20 percent of your
energy bill, you not see a 60 percent
savings by installing all three. The
savings actually will be much less
because the products are working
together.
Most information on thermostats
is available from the Texas Energy
Extension Service factsheet
“Thermostats.” Call the toll-free

Apples = Health
for diabetics
‘ "-A-/
The American Diabetes Asso-
ciation (ADA) tells, us that for people
with diabetes and for anyone look-
ing for healthy, nutritious eating
that an apple a day keeps the diabe-
tes away and the diabetic healthy.
How about a food all wrapped
up in a red or green package that is
rich in fiber, has only naturally-
occurring sugar, is naturally low in
fat and sodium and has lots of nutri-
ents such as Vitamin C for only 80
calorics? And remember, apples
have no cholesterol.
According to ADA, apples arc
recommended as one part of an
overall nutrition plan that can help
people with diabetes. Of course,
with their low calorie count, apples
can help with weight control which
is important for the diabetic and the
non-diabetic.
