Recently, I have had a project for science. My topic for my project was Diabetes. In my reflecting about my project, I thought about ways I need to improve, what I found frustrating about it, what my classmates particularly noticed about my piece when they looked at it, and one thing I’d like to improve upon. First of all, I think I could improve by looking into my topic more, making it more visually attractive, and having necessary facts. By looking into the topic more, I can obtain more information. If I make it more visually attractive, people would want to read it. Having necessary facts would answer the questions my peers have. The reason why it’s important to improve is that I can learn and use this knowledge for future projects. …show more content…
In addition, the information required and the use of an online infographic seemed overwhelming. When I started the project, I only knew a little bit about diabetes. I did not feel confident in creating a perfect project. However, if I had chosen a topic I was strong in, I would have no challenge or learning experience. Continuing, there were many points to hit and I didn’t know if I could get to them all. I did get all the points, but in the beginning, it bothered me. For the project, I was glad it was going to be virtual, but then again, what if it didn’t save? I thought of the unreliability many times during my project. In the end, some of my work did get deleted, however it didn’t affect my project. The only major issue that occurred was some of my images disappeared. This presented a problem
According to the United States Library of Medicine, diabetes is a disease that occurs when the body does not make or use insulin correctly, therefore causing fluctuating amounts of glucose in the blood. Diabetes is a disease that affects millions of adults and children from various cultures. According to the American Diabetes Association (2014), someone is diagnosed with diabetes every 19 seconds. The Center of Disease Control and Prevention most recent statistical report indicated there were 29.1 million adults and children affected by diabetes. Those numbers are astounding. Unfortunately, the American Diabetes Association (2014) estimates by year of 2050, one out of three adults will have diabetes. Therefore, it is imperative that adults take aggressive measures to prevent this disease. By the same token, diabetes diagnosed in children and adolescent is becoming more prevalent every day. The American Diabetes Association (2014) reported there were about 216, 00 children in the United States with diabetes. It is predicted that one out three children will be diagnosed with diabetes in their life. The statistics for both adults and children with diabetes are frightening; however, early detection can help lower the risk of developing the debilitating effects of diabetes.

4) The project improves on the following areas of compositional difficulty: I have been working hard on subject-verb agreement and using more effective words. My early drafts had both problems, but after having used BH Online, I feel confident that my final draft should be almost free of the errors that I worked hard to improve upon.

Being a camp counselor at Canadian Diabetes Association Camps was a rewarding experience that came with many valuable lessons. I fell in love with Dcamps as a camper because of the supportive community. Everyone had different stories and ways of managing their diabetes. Being newly diagnosed, I admired and learned so much from the counselors. As a first year staff, I was determined to provide my campers with the great experience I had, as well as teach them proper type 1 diabetes care. Working as a counselor taught me how to be a positive role model and gave me more confidence to make decisions as well as taking leadership roles in different situations. Every camper and conflict at camp were unique therefore being able to adapt to differing
This research proposal creates programs for children living with diabetes so that education and management of diabetes will continue during school hours. Mississippi State uses programs like these to address the incidence of diabetes in the state. The incidence and measurement of diabetes in the state, and at the county level, is completed yearly and quarterly and the state research agencies collaborate with the federal government both in the reporting requirements and in the building of programs that address the findings from the reports.
The final analysis was done with the data of 236 type 2 diabetic patients in MR and HR categories based on KDIGO classification with dyslipidemia and hypertension and they were followed up for the period of one year. Of 236 patents, 115 patents were followed up intensively. The demographic, anthropometric details of the study population were presented in table 1. In both the groups’ majority of the participants were males with the diabetic duration of 12.2 and 11.5 years in group I and Group II, respectively. Majority of the patients were on mixed diet (non vegetarians). Presence of family history of diabetes (group I: 65.28 %; group II: 53.91%) family history of diabetic nephropathy (group I: 11.39 %; group II: 12.9 %) and
