CDC strives to safeguard the health and improve the quality of life of all people with diabetes. Central
to that effort is helping them prevent or reduce the severity of diabetes complications, including heart
disease (the leading cause of early death among people with diabetes), kidney disease, blindness, and
nerve damage that can lead to lower-limb amputations.
Diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) programs help people meet the
challenges of self-care by providing them with the knowledge and skills to deal with daily diabetes
management: eating healthy food, being active, checking their blood sugar, and managing stress. These
programs have been shown to reduce A1C levels (average blood sugar over the last 2 to 3 months),
reduce the onset and severity of diabetes complications, improve quality of life, and lower health care
costs.
Diabetes is about 17% more prevalent in rural areas than urban ones, but 62% of rural counties do
not have a DSMES program. The use of telehealth (delivery of the program by phone, Internet, or
videoconference) may allow more patients in rural areas to benefit from DSMES and the National DPP
lifestyle change program. CDC funds state and local health departments to improve access to, participation
in, and health benefit coverage for DSMES, with emphasis on programs that achieve American Association
of Diabetes Educators accreditation or American Diabetes Association recognition. These programs meet
national quality standards and may be more sustainable because of reimbursement eligibility.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Advocates of the laws and journalists who cover the issue often neglect to ask what will replace
plastic bags and what the environmental impact of that replacement will be. People still need bags to bring
home their groceries. And the most common substitute, paper bags, may be just as bad or worse,
depending on the environmental problem you are most concerned about.
That is leading to a split in the anti-bag movement. Some bills, like in Massachusetts, try to reduce
the use of paper bags as well as plastic, but still favour paper. Others, like in New York City, treat all single-
use bags equally. Even then, the question remains as to whether single-use bags are necessarily always
worse than reusable ones.
Studies of bags’ environmental impacts over their life cycle have reached widely varying conclusions.
Some are funded by plastic industry groups, like the ironically named American Progressive Bag Alliance.
Even studies conducted with the purest of intentions depend on any number of assumptions. How many
plastic bags are replaced by one cotton tote bag? If a plastic bag is reused in the home as the garbage bag
in a bathroom waste bin, does that reduce its footprint by eliminating the need for another small plastic
garbage bag?
If your chief concern is climate change, things get even muddier. One of the most comprehensive
research papers on the environmental impact of bags, published in 2007 by an Australian state government
agency, found that paper bags have a higher carbon footprint than plastic. That is primarily because more
energy is required to produce and transport paper bags.
“People look at paper and say it’s degradable, therefore it’s much better for the environment, but it’s
not in terms of climate change impact,” says David Tyler, a professor of chemistry at the University of
Oregon who has examined the research on the environmental impact of bag use. The reasons for paper’s
higher carbon footprint are complex but can mostly be understood as stemming from the fact that paper
bags are much thicker than plastic bags. “Very broadly, carbon footprints are proportional to mass of an
object,” says Tyler. For example, because paper bags take up so much more space, more trucks are
needed to ship paper bags to a store than to ship plastic bags.
