Murphy Australian Clay Target Shooting News Page 1 WORLD CUP The heavens opened when the first members of the seventy-four strong Australian team arrived in Sydney for the World Cup in late March. There had already been several days of torrential rain before our arrival. Consequently, quagmire conditions prevailed a t the Sydney International Shooting Complex and a t least one truck was bogged, providing everyone with some entertainment while they watched the poor driver try to dig i t out. O U R OLYMPIC TEAM Congratulations must go to our selected Olympic Team of Deserie, Michael, Russell, Lisa, David, Clive, Natasha and Anne Maree. With them and the team officials go our very best wishes on a successful event. RANGE APPROVALS With the establishment of the National Firearms Laws one would have thought that the guidelines for range approvals around Australia would have been identical. Information is that safety margins and distances are varying from State to State and all the blame apparently cannot be directed to police departments or bureaucrats. It appears that in some States bodies calling themselves the "peak body" for shooting have had significant input into range guidelines for all disciplines and these "bodies" do not, or have not, a representative of our State Clay Target Associations. Surely in each State it would be reasonable to expect the State Clay Target Association would be the only body consulted in ACTA disciplines. I hope that we can address and resolve this issue to the satisfaction of all very NATIONAL OFFICE OFFICIAL OPENING The official opening of the National Office during our Nationals was very well attended and went off without a hitch. Those who did attend enjoyed the BBQ and musical entertainment afterwards and many have requested that each year during the Nationals the ACTA should conduct such an evening for the benefit of shooters and their families. This is certainly a possibility and will be discussed at our next Exec- After the first few days the weather became progressively better and eventually became quite hot. So much so, that a red bellied black snake decided to come out and sun itself dailv on the rock wall on the Clay Target Range. This entertainment lasted for several davs while volunteers and ~ o l i c edecided how to deal with the reptile". Eventually, a t great k s k to life and limb, someone managed to get i t into a box and it was re-located. Unlike the Oceal>ins wh~.t.c fu<,d .iuppl~t-iwere limirrd, ar the \Vul.ld Cup. ti dlnlng rc:nr for reams was provided with 3 cuntir~unus supply of hot meals, drinks and other goodies. A coffee van on the Clay Target Range was also very well patronised. The team was accommodated a t the Country Comfort RSL Resort a t Rooty Hill. There was universal approval of this venue, not least because the meals were so good and so cheap a t the adjacent RSL Club. Especially happy with the accommodation was team Masseur, Darien Roach who, on the first night found himself in a four-poster double bed with a spa hath in the bathroom. When he was moved on the second night, he thought he was coming down out of the clouds to he with the rest of us peasants. Lo and behold, he got what we called the "penthouse suite" because the room was not only larger and equally luxurious, hut this room had the spa bath in the corner of the bedroom! The good Doctor and I, when we inspected his palatial suite, decided that i t was really a more suitable abode for a Manager and a Doctor, hut relented when Darien begged and pleaded to stay there (only joking, Darien). Because the Country Comfort was a n official hotel, buses ran regularly between there and the Range and I heard few if any complaints about this system.

F~.cnrh~ i r l 1)elphmc , Racinet, was n delight to watch, giving a fine demonstration of her skills and walking away with the gold medal and a Finals World Record 95 in this event. Deserie made the Final in the Womens Double Trap as well but regrettably slipped from fourth to sixth, while Annemaree Roberts just missed out an the Final in a shootoff, finishing seventh. The greatest excitement was i n the Mens Double Trap where Russell Mark made his "mark" by winning the gold medal i n fine style. He went in with a margin of three targets up his sleeve and knew by the time the last few targets were i n the air that he could not be beaten. Just to give the crowd a thrill, he caused a huge gasp when he missed hy a country mile both targets in his second to last pair. To prove he could still hit them, he then smoked the last pair! Michael Diamond shot 138 i n the same event but was, regrettably, penalised three targets far missing a squad - a hard lesson to learn as Michael himselfsaid. Stephen Haberman is also to be congratulated for his MQS shoot of 138, which was up to Finals standard. Deserie Wakefield-Baynes, third in women's trap. The shooting was extremely interesting with a very high standard evident from the 85 countries present and Australian team members, for the most part, did themselves proud. There was some drama on the official training day for Mens Trap when the bolts let go and one of the t r a m fell off the wall. fcrtunstily without injuring auyone.

This would have seriously shaken him and explains why his second round did not match his first day's result when he shot a fine 74. Michael Diamond made the Final in this event but found the going tough finishing sixth. Michael was quoted in the media as saying that he was feeling the pressure of a hometown event. All other Australians interviewed echoed this feeling. Clearly there is a need for more training in this area. A media centre was on site where journalists, mostly from the print media, were based. The interest in the Australian team was high with many media representatives, including those not on site, wanting to interview the hetter known team members almost on a daily basis. I personally fielded about a dozen calls i n the first few days and other team members received calls as well. I t was difficult for Michael and Russell in particular to move more that 20 metres without being stopped by media or well wishers from volunteers and spectators. This a result of the way the Range is designed, as it is necessary for shooters to move through the public area to reach the layouts. As far as possible, rve tried to protect team mebers from excessive media interest by asking journalists to approach coaches first and certainly not to approach shooters until the competition and Final had concluded. For the most part this request was respected. Media were also advised that once the Olympic team is selected the" would be able to come to the final trainine .. cam0, a t the end of July and ~ntcrview and photograph tu their liearts L.<,nrent.

Steve Athins Overall, Steven Parks Junior and Peter Streober (USA) Veterans. - - In excess of 40 shooters. alone with familv members. made this years Australian representation the largest for many ;ears. Our current World Championship team of Phil Headon, Bill Iles, David Fox. Steve Haberman and Arthur Turner were also the team to contest the Glenn Cup event. With the exception of 1 day, the weather was not what we have came to expect on visits to New Zealand in that sun shone brightly throughout the championships. The grounds were excellently presented, the hospitality was even better and I was not aware of one genuine complaint about anything from anyone. What more could you want a t such an event. We were away to a brilliant start with Queenslander Dave Dundon winning the first National event - the skeet with a score of 1501150. Other Australians to show out were Ma1 Briggs (1st AA), Jon Whittakers (the old fox 2 n d in A), Glen Castelaro (1st in C...samehow I am of the opinion that with a 100+ break, he will not be in C grade should he return to NZ) and Toni Dierke being victorious in the ladies section Australia also were the winners of the 5 person team event. Max Barton, Guy Beddington, Arthur Dierke, Toby Witt and Dave Dundon. Queensland were to keep the pressure on again in the next championship with veteran shooter Bill Stevens carding the only possible 50150 in the Ball Trao - the onlv wav to win a National title. Steven Parks started hi; carnoair; in <he Junior section with a fine win and our only other placegetter was Bryan (Cats) Rafferty with 3rd in AA. Page 4 On to the Double Rise Chanlpionship and champion Bill Iles was to add the first of two 2000 kiwi titles to his impressive trophy 'cupboard'. Bill shot a score of 38140 to take the HOA honours. I never believed it possible, but Bill seems to be shooting as well now as he ever has. Our other winners were Steve (Corvette) Atkins and David Fox, 1st and 2nd respectively and Tim Catling being the best veteran With 3 titles gone and still no home country winner, host club member and tireless worker, Gavin Searle said enough is enough. We have to do something - and something he did do. Winning the minis championship with a score of 27/27. Our only competitor to grace the winners dais was David Fox with 2nd in AA. Bill Iles second HOA was ta be the Triples Championship recording 1001100. In AA Sam Forsyth took out 2nd with Arthur Turner 3rd, Tim Catling was 2nd in A and 1st in Veterans and Steven Parks was the best Junior. Gavin Searle again looked a t the way things were going in relation to kiwi pride and said if Bill can do it, so can I. Gavin was also to add a second HOA in the week to his bag by winning the Single Rise shooting 3001300. Our tap shooters were Terry (Barzurk) Boucher and Arthur Turner 2nd and 3rd AA and again Steven Parks showed that he is a junior with a future by winning the junior section. The Single Barrel was the next title contested and again New Zealand came out on top with Keith Livingstone with the only 50150. Jon Whittakers and Tony Sehaefer were to Finish 1st and 2nd in AA and Tim Catling continued his good form winning 2nd place in A grade The last title up for grabs was the Pointscore and Steve Haberman recorded the only 1501150 to give him the top spat. Our only other prize winner was Sam Forsyth taking 2nd placing in AA The Glenn Cup Team event was conducted in excellent atmosphere in front of a large crowd and our team demonstrated why it is the current best in the world by not dropping a target. A great exhibition of shooting appreciated by all watching.

The shooting centre which was officially opened in September 1999 in time for the Oceania Championships, was well received by athletes and officials who collectively described it, as did the International Shooting Sport Federation, a s the best shooting range With the Olympic Games following only months after the World Cup, the Sydney Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (SOCOG) took the decision to install many of the additional facilities which will be used a t Games time earlier than what had initially been planned. This enabled shooters to experience some of the facilities which will be in use in September. Officially opened by ISSF President Olegario Vasquez Rana, the World Cup, the largest ISSF competition ever conducted in Australia, was conducted in typical autumn conditions which ranged from heavy rain in the early days of competition which made conditions difficult for the clay target shooters, to the heat of the summer sun. The 33 ISSF appointed Jury Members who will also be officiating a t Games time were full of praise for the level of competency shown by the competition officials, a number of whom had officiated a t the 1996 Atlanta Games, and gained the confidence of shooters from day one. Under the direction of Technical Delegates Gary Anderson and Jesus Elizondo, the World Cup was also used by SOCOG as a Test Event for the September Olympi Games. This provided SOCOG with the opportunity to test the shooting centre under exacting competition conditions, as well as the various functional areas and hundreds of volunteers involved with the Olympic Games. As a result SOCOG, with the support of ISSF officials, has identified a number of areas which will be addressed prior to the Olympic Games to ensure that shooters receive the best possible conditions to compete for Olympic medals in September SOCOG appreciates the support received from ISSF President Olegario Vasquez Rana, Secretary General Horst Schreiber and ISSF officials, which greatly assisted the Organising Committee with its planning and conduct for what the ISSF has described as the most successful Test Event that shooting has experienced and an excellent rehearsal for the XVII Olympic Games 2 - Winchester White Flyer Traps Good Condition 2 - Sets (2) Mercury Vapor Flood Lights Contact President Rob Rehbein Page 6 Australian Clay Target Shooting News June 2000 WZlyGHIFSTZRR A M M U N I T I O N AGAIIV THE NATIONAL WIBVNING MORE TITLES I M A M ALL OTHER NDS National Double Barre ANZ Points National Double Rise National Champion of Champions Grand Australian Handicap Single Barrel ANZ Points June 2000 WDOA3312 FRENCH Australian Clay Target Shooting News Page 7 The Australian Clay Target Association National Trap Championships for 2000 were hosted this year a t the ACTA National Shooting ground in Wagga Wagga NSW.

Lost B i r d PO 466 Wagga Wagga NSW 2650 Fam026931 0125 Wtilen must give lull Dear Sir, I wish to respond to several letters in the April issue of the shooters journal, which were in my opinion partly playing the man but not the ball. I respect rhc right of any individual to have n different ap~munro mine and to dcbntc it, but 1 au expcc: thnL indlwdunl to respect mv right to express that view I believe that as we live in a democratic and free enterprise system which allows every individual freedom of choice to purchase any brand of product which in their opinion is most suitable to their requirements. In other words, we all make these choices when buying items from supermarket shelves and every other purchase we make in our daily lives both personally and in business. In my article in the February issue, I outlined part of the criteria that I apply when considering buying a clay target trap to be used for competition. That criteria is well known by members of my club and other shooters that I have worked with and have been involved with in the selection process of purchasing traps and I can assure readers I have held that view for at least 12 years and I will not in the foreseeable future deviate from that position. In closing please ask anyone who knows me well and I am sure that they will tell you I will never be led anywhere by anyone to swallow anybody's propaganda.

Tarnworth Clay Target Club Neville Sydney Smith -Eulogy 13.04.1917 -12.01.2000 Neville Sydney Smith was born an April 13,1917, a t Vaucluse Sydney. He was the third child of Mr & Mrs Frank Smith of 'Trenayr'. The eldest of the family was Sadie, then Harry. Eight years later Neville was born. then seven vears later Robert amved.

This was great company for Neville, who followed the men on their rounds. This was the first experience of firearms and rabbit traps. His father bought him a .22 pea riffle, and from this he learnt the correct handling and safety of firearms, which he followed through his life and the correct handling of rabbit traps as well. He wore out the barrel of his first rifle, but with the packet money h e earned from rabbit skins and carcasses, which h e sold at the freezing warks, h e bought another barrel far his rifle. The freezing works a t the time were situated on the bank of the Mole River crossing. Neville's next purchase was a pushbike, which meant he could deliver his carcasses and pelts himself. dullghted it ,nunr,l tllnt hc ilad incnperor A~~~~ ,vas born he someone to play with klc rude hi3 blhc 11, .Tnrongn'ro sec Petcr, ana at orher timcs to visit Terry Spencer rtt 'hlonrilb>ndn'.

He was very fond of Sadie and their children James and Juelie. &an met Keville t h n u g h H ~ r r y Smar11agc 10 F10, who WBS her CuuSIn, urtd ZIevlllc ixrld,lonn were married an \larch 31 1940 in Sydney.

He was very ill for many years before he was cured by Dr Steiner of Emmaville. I n 1944 his son Murray was born and in 1946 their daughter Pam. There were taueh times a t ' Monkstadt' with the end of the war, then they experienes draught, fires and floods over many years but with great courage and determination, Neville and Joan managed to succeed. Clay pigeon shooting was one of Neville's great loves of his life. H e started a clay target club on 'Monkstadt' called 'Riverside' gun club, which was appreciated by all who attended. He joined Ballandean Club, and over the years won many trophies and championships, also represented Queensland in State Club championship events. He understood machinery thoroughly, repairing his a w n and a t 'Monkstsdt h e produced high grade lucerne. ~ ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ ~ In 1989 i t was time to retire, Neville would have preferred Darwin to retire, because i t was never cold, but h e could n i t leave lbntertield because of all his close friends and relatives. Retirement i s difficult for a man from the land but Neville found a place for gathering more knowledge or should we say passing advice on. As he strolled the street, a seat in town became known to u s a s A Seat of knowledge, where h e s a t and enioved his retirement. At the local Rifle Club he introduced bench shooting, and this practice continues. Event a t his last shoot, h e still managed t o score 6 fives and -..v.. nn He served the community as Justice of the Peace, and a s New South Wales Firearms Safety Awareness Officer. He was a remarkable man, and sadly to say a lot of history h a s gone with Neville, a s he could tell you who bought the first car, tractor, washing machine and many more things that the young generation take for granted in our fast living world today. Poetry was a natural gift. He wrote many short poems for many occasions as same of u s will recall. The local paper, politics, shooting, animals including his favorite pet Heidi, family weddings and many more. Neville leaves us with memories. Even when h e was so ill h e could make the doctor and hospital staff smile. Neville leaves his wife Joan, his children M m a y and Pam, 6 grand children and 6 great grand children, who called him Trig. There's a road I call remembrance, Where I walk each day with you, It's apleasnnt happy road. All filled with memories true. There are hills and fields and budding trees, And stillness that's so sweet, That it seems that this must be theplace, Where Gad and humans meet.

With a separate administmtion area, also air-conditioned, a large well-equipped workshop for the trap mechanics and a gunsmith as well. Camping facilities were available a t a minimal cost, and those requiring other accommodation, the club arranged that also. Wich the benefit* to Roma, the event really put Roma and District into National focus. Roma iscertainly known for it hospitality. Visitors were cen3inlv im~rcsscdwith the friendliness of business people and the aveiage Eitizen. It was certainly a team effort, with both councils providing invaluable assistance in setting up the facilities, with local business houses as sponsors, many members over the years working to get their club house and grounds ta a vew hieh standard. With all the hard work done durine the championships, many took annual leave to do so, che cleaning and the cooking starting or 4 am. All this work done on a voluntary b3sis. In the planning stages, some critics felc chat a small rural town like Roma would be unable to host such a 13rge national event.

Not only the first Nationals of the new millennium, but also the first Trap Nationals conducted a t the new National Shooting Ground. Personally, I thought i t was a great shoot. The success of the Nationals is often gauged by the number of competitors and the yardstick is usually the Double Barrel. This year that prestigious event had 527 entrants and even though shooting is under attack from all quarters a t the moment, t h a t is still about 30 more than the average aver the past 25 years since I started attending the Nationals. Also the weather was very kind to us. The first day of the Pre-Natianale was a little windy and an the last day of the Nationals, we got a few light showers late in the afternoon. I n between we gat seven consecutive days of glorious autumn weather. I think that this run of good weather is a reflection of two things. The first is the wisdom of staging the event in autumn, which is probably the most stable time of the year a s far as weather is concerned. And the second is the wisdom of selecting a site for the National Shooting Ground that is well inland and far removed from the influence t h a t nearby weans can have an the weather of coastal areas. The only venue now used for the World Skeet Shooting Championships is San Antonio, which is situated in south central Tkxas, well away from any weather effects generated by the Gulf of Mexico. I have shot the nine days of the World Shoot there on eight separate occasians, and can count on the fingers of one hand the number af days t h a t were cold or rainy or even had strong wind. My memories of San Antonio in October, which is the middle of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. are of calm warm sunny days going on seemingly forever. However, prior to anchoring the World Shoot a t the National Gun Club in San Antonio, the event used to circulate around the North American continent on a rotational basis, in much the same way as our Nationals used to. By the time I started attending, the number of entrants had become so large t h a t the only other venue capable of hosting the Shoot was Savannah in Georgia. Unfortunately Savannah is situated on the coast and bears the full effect of the unstable weather influenced by the proximity of the North Atlantic ocean. I only shut the \Varld Shoot ~n Savannah threc times, but I still have viwd mcrnoncs ofevery conceivable weather condition from oppressive heat 2nd humidltr which brousht uut the and flcas in droves. t o windv rainv days so cold the referees swore they would never return. I reinenyber lightning storms so severe they stopped the Shoot on several occasions. And I remember sheltering in a vendors building one afternoon, watching people shoot in rain t h a t was not only coming down almost horizontally, due to the strength of the wind behind it, but was also so heavy that you could barely see 100 yards in it. I was very grateful to have shot a t 9.00am t h a t morning, before the h n t came through. Although I won the first of my World Skeet Championships in Savannah, my fondest World Shoot memories are definitely of San Antonio. Back to the Trap Nationals! I guess every Nationals has a t least one b ~ gnew, )[em This year I thought there were ~ e v e r a lOne . was dcRnntely Bxlly Iles'rct~remeniWhen I first nesrd it, 1 was speechless and somewhat srzotleal. so a t mv first oooununnv I fronted the =rat man And m e s s w c z ? 12s all t d e . Bill i d d m e he had act;all~ made the &icial announcement a t the New Zealand Nationals, ~ e v e r a l weeks before. Now Billy and I are actually a lot closer than most people realise. We often room together on trips away and whenever there is a big shoot a t Metro, I always enjoy Bill and Michele's hospitality. I'm also very proud to have Bill's name alongside mine a couple of times on the National Two-man Team Trophy I've shot with some great partners over the "ears. but pound for pound. vau'd be hard pressed to find a better team:shooting partner than ill.. Still somewhat puzzled, I questioned Bill a t length about his decision, because i t certainly seemed a little premature. His shooting performances do not seem to have waned recently and I think it would be fair to say that he is probably a t the peak of his career. I n his usual straightforward manner, Bill gave me a couple of goad reasons t h a t I could not argue with. Actually, upon reflection, I was able to relate to them so closely that it has set me thinking about how far off my own retirement should be. Anyway, every dark cloud has a silver lining. Bill has assured me that although you probably won't see him a t any of the larger Trapshoats from now on, he still intends to support his local dub, do some mare coaching, and to shoat some Sporting and maybe even a little more Skeet. Another very newsworthy item was not just the fact that Glenn Castal~ ~ ~ June ZOO0 ~~~ ~ as ~~~~ teat 1 laro wan the National High Gun, but the magnificence of the score he shot to win it. Seven points down out of 475 over six events is a great effort and I was t d y impressed. In fact it ties the highest score ever shot over the current format. And when was that record of 4681415 set? Back in 1984by none other than W J Iles. So what happened to the big feller with the pictures an him this year? Well you don't have to look back very far to find him. After six days of shooting, Glenn only managed to beat Billy by a single solitary paint. And to further emphasise the magnitude of the performance put up by bath Glenn and Billy, you have to count back a further six points before you come to Arthur Turner on 461 in third place. Bill, are you absolutely sure you're not quitting too soon? Clay targets and the machines t h a t throw them have been a t the forefmnt of most shooting discussions for the past couple of years and this Nationals was no exception. At various times I heard all sorts of reports, bath good and bad, on each of those items. This year we used Gemini machines throwing orange Corsivia targets, and to be perfectly honest, I thought they both did quite a serviceable job. By now I think everyone involved knows my thoughts on clay targets. I firmly believe that Trench targets should be used for shooting Trench and that a much softer, purpose-built, American style target should be used for l t a p and Skeet. However, if you must try and use one target for both applications, then the orange Corsivias seem to be a s good as any. It's just a pity t h a t a fair percentage of the batch supplied for the Natiooals were badly buckled, which caused a fair bit of heartache for all eaneerned and developed into a n ongoing difference of opinion as to just exactly how, when and where they got buckled. I'll be interested in the outcome of that one! As for target throwing machines, there has probably never been more debate on this subject than a t the present. And i t seems t h a t a lot of my recent editorial comment on the subject has been misunderstood. A lot ofpeople have asked me what have I got against Ludwig Kohler and his machines and why have I been giving him such a bagging. The plain truth is absolutely nothing. In fact just the opposite. I have simply been trying to bring to the surface a lot of undercurrent t h a t has existed and get some constructive debate going in order to examine and clarify the situation. In the April issue I netually pulled the rug out from under a couple of the nagging doubts I had personally had about the machines, and tried to debunk several other derogatory theories while I was a t it. To bring the matter intocrystal clear perspective, I am happy to admit to being one of Ludwig's customers. Last year my Gun Club authorised me to select and purchase a new DTL trap. After careful consideration, I decided t h a t the Gemini was not only of excellent design and quality, but also offered the widest available array of features, making it arguably the best value far money on the market. With that in mind, we purchased and installed one in our main layout. We have been so happy with i t that we have another one on order and intend to take delivery of i t a s soon as our finances allow. This year's AGM was a fairly tame and Friendly affair, especially when compared to some ofthe more turbulent ones of recent years. The mast reassuring thing to come out of i t was the fact that mast people have come to accept that the National Ground a t Wagga was not only inevitable. but also a ~ a s i t i v se t e for ~ the future of our svort. However. what surprised me th'e most was'when the maiority of people who had previously been against the Wagga complex, "oted ov&helmingly to overturn the current proposal of staging the Nationals elsewhere every third year. Almost everyone in attendance a t the AGM voted to keep the Nationals there for a t least the next five years, in order to allow the e o m ~ l e xto develoo. and I would now be surorised if this .oravosal . is not ratiked shortly b i the full executive. I thought the trade displays this year were great, even in temporary marquis. However, another of the great advantages of having a National Shooting Ground is the commercial viability of permanent vendors buildings, just like they have a t the Grand American Trapshoot and the World Skeetshoat. Wait till you see those - rainproof, windproof, dustproof and even carpeted floors - ton good. And speaking of the trade people, I thaught Kevin Wright and Ian McGeoch did their usual super job this year. It's great not only to have instant on-site repairs in case you have a problem, but also to get those other routine iabs done without the hassle and time loss of ahipdns. .. ..

This year though, the Carnival took on some new events, which weren't "true" ISSF authorised events, being a Double Barrel Points and Handicap. These new events were the ideas of two Club Members - John Bigg and Alan Sexton and having heen already tested and tried, were put into the Carnival far variation. The Double Barrel Points operated exactly the same scaring system a s the DTL Discipline, where else the Handicap operated on your average scares of the first event shot (for novices only) or using the chance of taking out the higher placed trophies a s a person would need to shoot perfect scores to win.

Australian Clay Tart:et Shooting News Page 61 Are you one of the 404000 Australians who have diabetes and don9tknow it? With early research results indicating more than 800,000Australians have Type 2 diabetes, a greater awareness about the risks of developing diabetes is vitally important to slow the alarming rate a t which i t is spreading. Most disturbing is latest who diamosed with ' l b e 2 diabetes. there 1s .. ...has ..-.heen . ..-another person living with diabetes who doesn't even realise nersnn r -.--.. ~~ " A What i s diabetes? Diabetes presents in two forms. Type 1diabetes is genetic and may occur at any age, although i t usually develops in childhood or adolescence and is the most common form of diabetes diagnosed before the age of 30. Factors in the person's environment triggsr off the genes which cause the body to stop making insulin, and daily injections are essential to stay alive. Type 2 diabetes (also known as adult onset diabetes) represents 85 to 90 per cent of all diabetes cases. The symptoms are not always obvious and often go unrecognised for long periods. I t mostly affects people over the age of 50. Being overweight often triggers diabetes in this age group. Type 2 diabetes is caused when the body's cells are unable to use glucose (the body's main fuel) because they are resistant to insulin (which is needed to move glucose into the cells). To compensate for excess glucose in the blood, the pancreas produces higher than normal levels of insulin. Eventually the pancreas-becomes over worked and stops making enough insulin - leading to high levels of glucose in the blood causing Type 2 diabetes Food intake and exercise have a lot to do with controlling not only body weight, hut also blood glucose levels. In order to manage their condition successfully people with diabetes need to have a good understanding of the foods they eat and how their body uses energy. - . .. .. . . " .... . SDec~ahstsstress that DeoDle wlth 'IWe Z dlaDetes who are o;erweight should mak; wGight loss ;major priority in controlling their condition. Of course, exercise is an important part of efforts to lose weight. To help control diabetes and provide adequate nutrition, food should be high in carbohydrates, high in fibre, low in fat and low in sugar. Carbohydrates should provide a t least half the energy requirement - the main sources being plant foods such as bread, cereals, rice, fruit and vegetables. It is the carbohydrates which affect blood glucose levels because they contain sugars and starches which are broken down to glucose, which then enters the blood stream. I t is glucose that provides the body's cells with the energy they need to perform their particular tasks. Regular exercise is equally important for people with diabetes as i t helps the body's insulin work better. With the help of the diabetes core team of health professionals and regular medical check-ups and monitoring, people with diabetes can work out the best times for exercise and food. For example, i t might be more comfortable to eat a spread of carbohydrates 5 or 6 times throughout the day to keep blood glucose levels stable, rather than the traditional three-meal-aday lifestyle. Unlike Type 1diabetes, Type 2 diabetes can often be controlled with diet and exercise alone. Some people may need medicine - either oral medication or injected insulin - and many find their diabetes improves when they follow their treatment plan, which is aimed at keeping blood sugar levels as close to normal as possible.
