As a fourth-generation Maldonian with a family political lineage that extends back into the 1950s, Craig Spadafora knows plenty about the phrase “being around for a while.” Growing up Spadafora, who was fi rst elected to the City Council in November 2007, witnessed plenty of Malden history being made fi rsthand. Decades before he took offi ce as a freshman Councillor at large in ’07, charged with keeping his fi nger on the pulse of what was happening in all Malden’s eight wards, his family name was already one of the most wellknown in the community. Not much has changed these days, as Councillor Spadafora is the longest-serving member of the City Council in continuous terms and an outspoken proponent of what best serves the city’s economic future. With nearly a quarter century of highend experience in the business and fi nancial world, Spadafora often infuses real-world comparisons and references into re617-387-2200 M ayor Gary Christenson was joined by State Senator Jason Lewis, State Representatives Steven Ultrino and Kate Lipper-Garabedian and City Councillors Ryan O’Malley and Amanda Linehan to celebrate the recent improvements at the Washington/Winter/Glenwood Intersection near Oak Grove Train Station.

Two major City Council votes in two weeks Councillor Spadafora weighed in this week on two major City Council votes, in successive weeks, which will have a dramatic and transformational effect on the future of the city, particularly as they impact the downtown district and beyond. The veteran City Councillor has had a hand in virtually every major decision involving land use and development in the Malden community for over a dozen years, going toe-to-toe with potential developers, attorneys – and at times, fellow Councillors – as a key member, and often chairperson, of the Council’s Ordinance and Finance Committees.

Some would call it the “dawn of a new day” as they were awakened with varying thoughts, hopes and expectations. Yesterday, most of us witnessed and welcomed the verdict in the Derek Chauvin murder trial and we heard the word “JUSTICE” used. Justice is defi ned as the proper administration of the law; the fair and equitable treatment of all individuals under the law. To those who suff er deep pain, suff ering and loss the word “JUSTICE” will always have an emptiness because of a void that cannot ever be fi lled by our laws and our courts. I am also reminded of the following quote: “Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.” The criminal trial for the murder of George Floyd involved many witnesses. Many of us were able to watch as those witnesses testifi ed about what they saw on May 25, 2020.

According to federal officials, "This pandemic and its physical, emotional, and economic fallout have made life increasingly hard for students and families, but this funding provides vital relief to get the Commonwealth and country back on its feet.” “The hallways of Malden Public Schools look like the walkways of Massachusetts - it’s the most diverse school district in the Commonwealth,” said John Oteri, Superintendent of Malden Public Schools. “Yet despite this mirror, students of color are too often left behind by policy and budgets, creating outcomes stained by inequity. "Outcomes that were exacerbated this year by COVID-19, remote learning and state cuts," Superintendent Oteri added. "With the passage of the American Rescue Plan, Malden Public Schools will receive nearly $16 million to bridge current budgetary gaps and help us ensure our students can access the equitable education they deserve.” In total, Massachusetts will receive an estimated $512,000,000 for child care providers and families, $13,628,000 for Head Start programs, $1,830,128,000 for K-12 schools, and $825,467,000 for higher education institutions. Nationwide, the American Rescue Plan provides: More than $120 billion for the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund, which will give schools the resources they need to reopen safely for in-person instruction and address the significant impact of the pandemic on students’ education and well-being. $40 billion from the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund, which is awarded directly to institutions of higher education. At least half of the funding institutions receiving funding must be distributed to students in the form of emergency grants to prevent hunger, homelessness, and other hardships caused by COVID-19. —$39 billion in supplemental funding for child care, which will help child care providers keep their doors open and reduce costs for struggling families. —$1 billion in emergency funding for Head Start, which will be used to maintain access to services for children and families.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 23, 2021 Page 9 DECISIONS | FROM PAGE 1 nance-imposed leash on highrise residential construction in Malden’s downtown district, capping new development at a six stories in height maximum. When a new developer/financier, Quaker Capital, sought a special permit to construct a nearly $100 million, 12-story, state-of-the-art office/commercial building at 11 and 17 Dartmouth St. in the heart of Malden Square, it was the first such proposal in almost a decade. Spadafora was all ears, but also wary of its implications and potential effect on the downtown and the community in general. Once again, Spadafora played a key role in researching the proposal, gathering information on both sides of the argument, for and against such a development, and then working closely with his colleagues in determining if this project is best for Malden. In the end, the developer adjusted plans for the development, lowered the proposed height of the 187,000 square foot structure to nine stories and also, though not required by ordinance, devised a way to add about 145 parking spaces to the site, in what turned out to be a welcome move in the eyes of Spadafora and his fellow Councillors. “It’s fair to say I had some concerns. I had several conversations with the developer, which led to the reduction in the size of the building and the inclusion of additional parking,” Councillor Spadafora recalled. A combination of circumstances The longtime Councillor-at-Large said it was an additional combination of circumstances that swayed him to back the ambitious project, one that the Malden Planning Board had unanimously rejected (9-0 vote), citing dimensional concerns with the nine stories in height. “Ultimately it came down to two things. First, the knowledge that the developer would have to come back before us once a tenant is identified gave me great comfort that we didn’t hand anyone a ‘blank check’ but rather the OK to keep moving forward knowing there’s continued checks and balances,” Spadafora said, before citing another key reason Councillor-at-Large Craig Spadafora, the longest continuous term City Council member, weighed in on two consecutive major decisions on Malden’s future this week. (Courtesy Photos) for his support: Backing a fellow Councillor’s direction. “But more importantly, it was the strong support the project had from the Ward Councillor Ryan O’Malley that tipped things for me,” Spadafora said. “I give great weight to the view of the councillor for the ward where the proposed development is located.” “Councillor O’Malley [Ward 4] is passionate about this type of development being right for Malden Square and convinced me that it was worth giving it a chance to succeed,” Spadafora added, “and [O’Malley] has spent a lot more time than anyone studying and understanding this type of development.” At several meetings where the new office building was discussed, the merits of the proposal – described by O’Malley, Spadafora and most strongly by Councillors Peg Crowe (Ward 1), Paul Condon (Ward 2), David Camell (Ward 6), Debbie DeMaria (at-Large) and Steve Winslow (at-Large) – were many, most notably for the injection of a new, increased population for Malden Square to patronize the many restaurants, shops, service businesses and other business outlets in the downtown. Councillors Amanda Linehan (Ward 3), Barbara Murphy (Ward 5), Jadeane Sica (Ward 8) and City Council President Neal Anderson (Ward 7) all spoke of the continuous refrain heard around the city of Malden’s need for commercial space development to expand and diversify the city’s tax base. A new bus/bike lane will be installed on Route 60/Eastern Avenue/Centre Street from Franklin Street to the MBTA Station. The restriping and repainting will be done in May, according to plans. They were unanimous in identifying this project as a commercial development project “we have all been waiting for.” City Council backed special permit in remarkable turnaround In a remarkable turnaround, the project that was unanimously rejected by the Malden Planning Board received an 11-0 unanimous vote in favor of a special permit by the City Council, after receiving additional strong recommendations from Mayor Gary Christenson, the Malden Redevelopment Authority (MRA) and its Executive Director, Deborah Burke, in addition to the Malden Chamber of Commerce and its Director, Donna Denoncourt. Spadafora said his support of the major change proposed, and ultimately approved by a 9-2 vote of the City Council, which will transform Malden’s most densely traveled roadway, Route 60/Eastern Avenue/Centre Street to a single-lane for private vehicles, was also fueled by the work and commitment of City Council colleagues. Councillor Spadafora said he was convinced by the work and presentation of two Councillors to get behind the proposal to accept over $600,000 in state grants to restripe and refashion the traffic patterns and signalization of Route 60 for about a 1/2 mile stretch on the southeast edge of the downtown district. “On the Route 60 proposal, the two key drivers behind it were Councillors O’Malley and [Steve] Winslow,” Spadafora said. “They have been working with the MBTA since late October or early November of last year, and they both came away absolutely confident that this change would improve safety and actually improve traffic at the same time. O’Malley represents Ward 4, the downtown district and Winslow is an at-Large Councillor along with Spadafora and Councillor DeMaria. Backed two fellow Councillors on Rt. 60 plan Spadafora said that he would have preferred to have gone deeper into his research on this project, but understood the time element involved with the acceptance of the offered grants. He said he trusted their judgment and was impressed by their passion for the plan. “They [O’Malley and Winslow] are both passionate transportation advocates, and while I would have liked to have had the time to review this comprehensively along with them, sometimes you have to show good faith when your colleagues feel so strongly about something and have had access to all the data,” Spadafora said. The veteran Councillor noted that the City Council had established an ad hoc committee to keep tabs on the efficacy and impact of the restriping of the roadway and the addition of the bus/bike lane and reduction to single-lane travel for regular cars, SUVs and trucks. “Ultimately, the impact of this change will be apparent to all, and if it isn’t what we’ve been promised, I know we will revisit this,” Spadafora said. “But the promise of reduced accidents and better flowing traffic is something we are all interested in, and I wanted to give both Councillor Winslow and O’Malley the chance to implement their vision.” “We understand that we are talking about paint on the road that can be undone, if the reality [of these changes] turns out different than what we’ve been promised,” Councillor Spadafora added. Spadafora said that he is encouraged by the recent display of unity and joint enthusiasm shown for some major projects and decisions involving the future of the community by the City Council. He said that with more major decisions awaiting the City Council in the near future, he would continue to use his veteran voice and experience to foster this unified approach on behalf of their constituents, Malden’s residents. “As the longest serving continuous councillor, part of my goal here was to show faith in my fellow colleagues where they felt so passionate about these two projects, in hopes that it carries forward to the next issue and the issue after as we work together as a City Council to find common ground,” Spadafora said.

Page 10 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 23, 2021 FBI WARNS PUBLIC TO BEWARE OF GOVERNMENT IMPERSONATION SCAMS Federal agencies do not threaten individuals or demand immediate payment T he FBI Boston Division has seen an increase in reports of scammers targeting New Englanders through unsolicited telephone calls in which the caller claims to be a representative of a government agency, including the FBI. Be advised, federal agencies do not call or e-mail individuals threatening arrest or demanding money.Scammers often spoof caller ID information, and these phone calls are fraudulent even if they appear to be coming from an agency’s legitimate phone number.Recipients should hang up immediately and report the call. There are many versions of the government impersonation scam, and they all exploit intimidation tactics. Typically, the caller advises the recipient of the call that charges have been, or soon will be, filed against them, and threatens to confiscate the recipient’s property, freeze their bank accounts, or have them arrested unless payment is made immediately.If the recipient questions the caller, the caller becomes more aggressive.The recipients are advised that it will cost thousands of dollars in fees or court costs to resolve the matter, and the caller typically instructs people to wire “settlement” money or provide payment via prepaid cards or gift cards to avoid arrest. “Nobody wants to be the subject of a law enforcement investigation, and scammers are using that to their advantage to try and intimidate people into just handing over their hard-earned money. We’re asking you not to fall for it,” said Joseph R. Bonavolonta, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Boston Division. “It’s important to resist the urge to act FBI | SEE PAGE 22 GBL SPORTS ROUNDUP: Malden Girls Soccer and Girls Volleyball record wins over Lynn English By Steve Freker T Everett boys’ soccer blanked by Revere, girls soccer falls to the Patriots Everett played Medford Tueshe Malden High Girls Soccer and Girls Volleyball teams used the vacation week to register wins over Lynn English in a pair of home matches.

Massachusetts Public Safety Officials Ready to Assist Municipal Authorities with Large Gatherings 3RD ANNUAL FRANK MASTROCOLA KIWANIS BOCCE TOURNAMENT FOR THE ERSILIA CUP TO BENEFIT EVERETT KIWANIS, SCHOLARSHIPS AND CHARITY SPONSORED BY SABATINO INSURANCE WHEN: Saturday, June 12, 2021 TIME: 8 AM – 5 PM CONTACT: WHERE: Methuen Sons of Italy 459 Merrimack St. Methuen COST: $250/Team $75/Player B OSTON—Massachusetts public safety officials said this week that they are prepared to support municipal authorities should they request assistance with large-scale events in the days ahead.The Baker-Polito Administration, local and state law enforcement, and other agencies are coordinating to ensure sufficient personnel are available to preserve public safety and protect the rights of all residents in the event of sizable gatherings related to the Derek Chauvin trial in Minneapolis. Governor Charlie Baker signed an order that will make up to 1,000 members of the Massachusetts National Guard available in the event that local officials request their assistance.That number reflects the maximum number of personnel who would be available and not necessarily the number deployed; similar orders last year did not always result in any Guard operations. “As we do for all potential large-scale gatherings in the Commonwealth, the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security has been working with our local, state, and federal partners to ensure public safety personnel can be on hand if the need arises,” said EOPSS Secretary Thomas Turco. “These are standard precautionary measures to protect the rights and safety of all residents, and there is no indication of any public safety risk in Massachusetts.” “We are coordinating with our partner agencies on a multi-layered, scalable plan to protect people’s safety, property, and rights of assembly and free speech,” said Massachusetts State Police Colonel Christopher Mason. “We will adjust operations and staffing as necessary to ensure that all citizens can exercise their Constitutionally-protected rights in a safe and secure manner. Additionally, we stand ready to assist our local law enforcement partners throughout the state if requested.” Colonel Mason said State Police would operate with increased staffing levels in the event that additional troopers were needed to ensure safety on state roadways and property or to assist local police departments that request assistance within their communities. Additionally, the State Police Watch Center and Division of Homeland Security and Preparedness will continue to monitor any developing incidents and intelligence for situational awareness and to maximize potential response capabilities.

It was Thanksgiving, 2019, to be exact, late November, some 18 months ago. Then the COVID-19 pandemic took over internationally in March 2020 and high school sports became an afterthought. When the communities which comprise the GBL became some of the hardest-hit with cases and positive rates, the decision was name to push all Fall Sports to the so-called "Fall 2" season, this spring. In January, a further decision was made by the GBL powersthat-be to push the GBL's Fall 2 season (and the preceding Winter season and following Spring season) back yet another month, as a health and safety precaution. All that brings us to this weekend: FOOTBALL'S BACK! With the quickened addition of two Lynn high schools to the Greater Boston League team roster, as well as Chelsea, the GBL now boasts a full, eight team league, with Chelsea, Everett, Lynn Classical, Lynn English, Malden, Medford, Revere and Somerville. This weekend, four of those schools return to the football field with Everett High kicking off its season on Friday night with a 6:00 p.m. home game at Everett Stadium versus Lynn English. Revere High Patriots will be on the road Friday night at 6:00 p.m. to play Lynn Classical at Manning Field in Lynn.

DiLoreto is a "blast from the past" appointee as he was himself a Crimson Tide player for the 1984 team under former Tide football bosses Moody Sarno and "Tank" Agnetta. Everett's tentative schedule after this week includes games versus Lynn Classical the weekend of April 30-May 1; and home against Revere on Friday, May 7. A game on the weekend of May 14-15 is expected as well. Everett's led by Boston ColMalden will renew the longest continuous high school football rivalry in the United States with Medford on May 8. Malden topped Medford, 29-0, in meeting #132 in 2019. (Advocate File Photo) May 1, with a schedule still being finalized. One game that is finalized on the schedule for Malden is a Saturday, May 8 matchup with traditional rival Medford, which will be played at 12:00 noon at Macdonald Stadium in Malden. This will be the 133rd meeting between the two longtime GBL rivals, and with some other games not being played around the state this year, it will push this game into the spotlight as the longest continuous high school football rivalry in the nation! *** One major change in "Fall 2" is that fans (Parents Only) will be allowed this season in attendance at the games.

The 9/10U regional team, which features players from Malden, Revere, and Saugus, gave credit to Revere resident Dominic Rystrom, a forward, who scored the go-ahead goal with six minutes left in the third period, putting the Junior Patriots ahead, 4-3, according to Asst. Coach Joseph Hurley, of Malden. During the championship game, Cullity and Moura each scored a short-handed goal putting the Junior Pats up 2-0 during the second period. Brookline would battle back with three goals until Cullity scored with just minutes left to tie the game in the third period. Rystrom scored the winning goal from Hurley, leading to the championship win. Malden players Justin Hurley, a forward, had two assists, and Kevin Cullity, defense, scored two goals. Forward Kevin Moura, of Malden, also scored one goal. Hurley also credited Goalie Ryan Knox, of Malden, for making approximately 30 saves. “He’s also a big reason why we won,” Joseph Hurley said. “He played stellar.” For Knox, it took on a sentimental meaning. He played in memory of his late grandfather, Kenneth Pawl, who died this year. “I did it for him,” Knox said. “I knew he would have been proud of me.” Knox added he’s super pumped that they won the championship, and that it was a close game. “We scored goals and saves, just when we needed them,” Knox said. Cullity said it felt really good to win. However, he said it came naturally. “I wasn’t surprised,” Cullity said who scored 10 goals in three play-off games. “We had confi - dence.” Head Coach Gerry Visconti, of Revere, congratulated the entire team for working hard all year, In front of the trophy from left to right are, Forward Leah Whynot, Forward Brendan Skerry, Defense Rose Pietrzak, Defense James Rose, Forward Justin Hurley, Defense Jace Perreira, Goalie Ryan Knox, Forward Joseph Visconti, Forward Dominic Rystrom, Forward Brandon Whittaker, Forward Michael Hurley, Defense Kevin Cullity, Forward Jacob Sherlock, and Forward Kevin Moura.

In the semi-fi nals, they won against Charlestown, 5-2, and Melrose, 5-4. Defenseman Jace Perreira, of Winthrop, said they played solid defense and off ense. Forward Justin Hurley, of Malden, added they played a strong game. Some of the players also won another championship earlier this month. Parent Robert Knox, of Malden, said, for the most part, it’s an once-in-a-lifetime accomplishment. “They may never have this opportunity again,” Knox said. “They made our city proud.” Malden Mayor Gary Christenson said he is proud of the East Coast Junior Patriots, especially Goalie Ryan “Rydog” Knox, who made 30 big saves. “But I think the moment I will always remember was seeing Rydog’s father Robert Knox Jr.dancing to “Let It Whip” by The Dazz Band throughout the game,” Christenson said Wednesday.

She noted the “enabling work” for the project is expected to be done in spring 2022; construction will occur between the summers of 2022 and 2026; the move to the new building will be in the fall of 2026; demolition of the existing facility will follow the move and end in 2028; and final site work and landscaping will take place between the spring and summer of 2028. The Baker administration and House and Senate leaders are all trying to speed the bill’s passage in order to meet deadlines to apply for as much as $260 million in funding from the federal government, which would leave state taxpayers with a $140 million bill. “Holyoke is deeply proud to be home to the Soldiers’ Home and we are grateful to see the House support a bill to prepare the home for the next 50 years,” said Aaron Vega, Director of Holyoke’s Office of Planning and Economic Development and former state representative from Holyoke. “The bonding authorization included in this legislation will allow the commonwealth to move forward with critical upgrades to the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home that will provide our veterans with a state-of-the-art facility that meets their health care and long-term care needs,” said House GOP Minority Leader Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “It also places the commonwealth in a strong position to qualify for significant federal matching funds to complete this work.” ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ MALDEN PLANNING BOARD PUBLIC HEARING The Malden Planning Board will virtually and remotely hold a public hearing at 7:00 P.M. on Wednesday, May 12, 2021 on the petition of 200 Exchange LLC (Permit Application # COO-036825-2021) for a special permit under Section 12.12.030 of Chapter 12, Revised Ordinances of 2020 as Amended of the City of Malden, to allow research & development use and/or light manufacturing use of property in the Central Business zoning district, namely, the building containing approximately 324,000 square feet of gross floor area on four floors, at the property known as and numbered 200 Exchange Street, Malden, MA, and also known by City Assessor’s Parcel ID #051 278 801.

The look of excitement on my adorable seven-year-old granddaughter Lola’s face as she handed her big brother Christian his (Harry Potter) birthday present. Mario Pallotta’s life. Harvey “Hands of Stone” Nadler’s one-on-one hoop challenge. “This is the end, beautiful friend, this is the end, my only friend, the end” – take a short trip back. These things were good also: warm, cloudless, carefree summer days that would last forever; the smell of fresh cut grass saturating the air; friends enough for a pickup game of baseball; icecold Coke in 10-ounce bottles straight from the Coke machine; your 10-speed Raleigh, your best friends only a short bike ride away; classic rock blasting from the radio before it became “classic rock”; no mortgage, no debt, no co-pay; parents that are young, strong, invincible, who will live forever. Your future stretched out before your eyes. These things are/were good, if only in your mind’s eye. These things are good, Postscript 1: former Malden High School Principal Dana Brown’s words of wisdom: “Oh Malden... the dirty ‘den’ to some. Been here my whole life; my perspective is warped. Endearing qualities make us Malden peeps. We bounce back; we look out for each other. We move out, we sometimes come back. We remember everything. If we do not remember somebody will clear it up for us. “Our ‘chin nod’ is famous. No words are exchanged, just the quick head up, chin out. I know you, and if I do not, I recognize you. You must have a connection to Malden. “We forgive. We do not forget. It used to be we got along, even if different socially and politically. I worry that we are losing that piece. “We do not tell anyone we are from Boston. We go out of our way to explain we are from Malden, a community a few miles north of Boston. We like Boston, we root for Boston, we value our relationship with Boston. “We are from Malden.” These things are good, Postscript 2: I just love what local artists (many from Malden) have done to the switch boxes in Malden over the years. Malden beautified its thoroughfares by turning these clumsy metal boxes into righteous canvasses in which Malden’s growing art community could express themselves, wherever that inspiration led them. Great job! Naomi Brave and Malden Arts are to be thanked for bringing this art form to Malden after witnessing the happiness it brought to Cambridge and Somerville residents. Artists like Greg Hampton, Ronny Cox, Peggy Stallings, Martha Ferratusco, Paula Spizziri, Vanessa Ly and Bill Filios have transformed these ugly eyesores into beautiful works of public art. So next time you are stuck at one of our insufferable traffic lights or are simply driving by, take a moment out of your busy life and let the artwork reach inside you. It is worth that moment. ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ MALDEN PLANNING BOARD PUBLIC HEARING The Malden Planning Board will virtually and remotely hold a public hearing at 7:00 P.M. on Wednesday, May 12, 2021 on the petition of Premium Properties, Inc.

Page 18 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 23, 2021 avy eniiooravvy S iorn or avvyavy y io iori by Jim Miller Could You Have Prediabetes? Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about prediabetes, and how can you know if you have it? My 62-year-old husband, who’s in pretty good shape, was recently diagnosed with prediabetes and didn’t have clue. Could I have it too? Wondering Spouse Dear Wondering, Underlying today’s growing epidemic of type 2 diabetes is a much larger epidemic called prediabetes, which is when the blood sugar levels are higher than they should be but not high enough to be called diabetes. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that as many as 84 million Americans today have prediabetes. Left untreated, it almost always turns into type 2 diabetes within 10 years. If you have prediabetes, the long-term damage it can cause – especially to your heart and circulatory system – may already be starting. But the good news is that prediabetes doesn’t mean that you’re destined for full-blown diabetes. Prediabetes can actually be reversed, and diabetes prevented, by making some simple lifestyle changes like losing weight, exercising, eating a healthy diet and cutting back on carbohydrates. Or, if you need more help, oral medications may also be an option. Get Tested Because prediabetes typically causes no outward symptoms, most people that have it don’t realize it. The only way to know for sure if you have it is to get a blood test. Everyone age 45 years or older should consider getting tested for prediabetes, especially if you are overweight with a body mass index (BMI) above 25. See CDC.gov/bmi to calculate your BMI. If you are younger than 45 but are overweight, or have high blood pressure, a family history of diabetes, or belong to an ethnic group (Latino, Asian, African or Native American) at high risk for diabetes, you should get checked too. To help you determine your risk of diabetes, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) has a quick, online risk test you can take for free at DoIHavePrediabetes.org. Diabetes Tests If you fi nd that you’re at risk for prediabetes, there are three diff erent tests your doctor can give you to diagnosis it. The most common is the “fasting plasma glucose test,” which requires an eight-hour fast before you take it. There’s also the “oral glucose tolerance test” to see how your body processes sugar, and the “hemoglobin A1C test” that measures your average blood sugar over the past three months. It can be taken anytime regardless of when you ate. Most private health insurance plans and Medicare cover diabetes tests, however, if you’re reluctant to visit your doctor to get tested, an alternative is to go to the drug store, buy a blood glucose meter and test yourself at home. They cost around $20. If you fi nd that you are prediabetic or diabetic, you need to see your doctor to develop a plan to get it under control. The ADA recommends losing weight and doing moderate exercise – such as 150 minutes a week of brisk walking. And when lifestyle changes alone don’t work, medication might. The ADA recommends the generic drug metformin, especially for very overweight people younger than 60. For more information on diabetes and prediabetes or to fi nd help, join a lifestyle change program recognized by the CDC (see CDC.gov/diabetes/prevention). These programs off er in-person and online classes in more than 1,500 locations throughout the U.S. Over the course of a year, a coach will help you eat healthy, increase your physical activity and develop new habits.
