ALTON - While COVID-19 was the disease that made all the news in 2020, for Matt Contarino it was something that unfortunately is much more familiar – diabetes. The 60-year-old Alton resident was diagnosed after a routine exam that year at Family Physicians of Bethalto with Denise Schleeper, FNP. From there, however, Matt has things under control – and he owes a huge debt of gratitude to the diabetes educators at Alton Memorial Hospital. “I felt fortunate in the fact that I was the only one in my immediate family who did not have diabetes,” Contarino said. “Denise confirmed through my labs that I did, and she was very proactive with me, as I had thousands of questions in my head. She suggested that I contact the AMH Diabetes Management Center. I called immediately. The timing was perfect. I was signed up to start the very next month.” Naomi Ward, registered dietitian at AMH, contacted Matt prior to classes starting to discuss his eating habits and

Brynildsen said a few things make Bethalto the ideal home for the next Germania location, including the level of interest from fans and his own family connections to the area. “The demand from Bethalto has been great. Every social media post receives multiple comments from people asking for Bethalto to be next,” he said. “It was also on the radar previously due to its location in relation to our other stores - but also because of the time me and my family spent there growing up, which has continued through today.” He also said he appreciates the cooperation and collaboration from community members. “What we love about these small towns like Bethalto an
