MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) — An Ivy Tech Community College instructor in Muncie was instrumental in getting a state law passed that could cut down on heart attacks, strokes, amputations, erectile dysfunction, kidney damage and other complications of diabetes. Senate Bill 461, which takes effect next month, allows emergency medical technicians to do a finger stick to check a patient's blood sugar. Under current law, paramedics but not EMTs are allowed to conduct the test, even though people including children check their blood sugar in that fashion at home or school on a daily basis. "The whole point is so people don't walk around for 10 years not knowing they've got diabetes," said Stephanie Freeman, the instructor.
