https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/9mzkq7r2k0xr How do you feel after learning about kids, just like you, living with diabetes? Does this disease make these kids stronger? What would you say to a friend who was diagnosed with diabetes? en-us 2016-11-01 16:40:09 UTC 2026-01-09 16:00:51 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/9mzkq7r2k0xr/wish/134577437 I learned what diabetes is, and now that I know what it is I feel like I can help, we are all very lucky to not have diabetes. This disease makes life one step harder for kids who have diabetes. Before I learned about this disease I felt like this wasn't a big deal, but know that I know I can take this more seriously and try to help people. My grandmas sister has diabetes and I felt like it was normal, but you never get to go behind the scenes of people's lives and find out about them. Kids who have diabetes feel like life is normal. For them life isn't normal, and if you got diabetes you would think it's normal too.]]> 2016-11-01 17:56:34 UTC https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/9mzkq7r2k0xr/wish/134577437 https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/9mzkq7r2k0xr/wish/134577453 I feel like people diabetes have ti harder that what kids with out diabetes. Kids with out diabetes can just pick up and eat what ever food whenever they want. But kids that do have diabetes have to moniter there food and take shots and carry all there tools with them were ever they go. I would be there for someone with diabetes take 10 seconds to help them take there shots and moniter the food they ate. I feel so lucky to not worry about the food I eat to just go right ahead and eat it without a care in the world or as others  they have to care write down how many carbs in there meals. People that where diagnosed with diabetes should feel stronger they are living with a desis but it it does not meen they can't do anything. If  they have hope I think they will be cured momenterraly. ]]> 2016-11-01 17:56:36 UTC https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/9mzkq7r2k0xr/wish/134577453 https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/9mzkq7r2k0xr/wish/134577622 I feel so lucky that I don`t have diabetes. My friend Dakota has type 2 diabetes. I never knew what it meant, but now I do. I believe he 8 years old. It is great that I don`t have it. I believe that it helps children in some ways. You know how blind people have better hearing, or smell, or taste. Kids with diabetes feel responsible about their body. It is a great way to stay fit in food. What I say to my friend Dakota all the time is that he should keep on believing in finding a cur. Also, keep your body's blood sugar at a minimal. The reason is that this may help you in future and in now. It is great that when you have diabetes, you can survive, and enjoy life like any other kid.  So good luck to all kids with diabetes.  I hope there will be a cure to stop blood sugar right away. 

 Thanks

For example they get more exercise, and take care of their body more. This makes me think a lot about how I should take care of myself. Especially since yesterday was halloween, I need to think about how much sugar I eat. I feel really lucky that I don't have diabetes. At first, I knew what  it was, but I didn't really care. I think all you have to do to  not get diabetes is just to take care of yourself and what you eat. Unless you have Type 1 diabetes. I really like the idea of donating money to the ummmmmm place. You shouldn't be scared of getting diabetes because if you don't want to get it, then just take care of your body. On the other hand Type 1 diabetes, I feel like is more common than type 2. At first I thought getting type 1 would be more scary. When I watched the video about the girl with Type 1, I thought maybe it's not as bad as I think it is. After I read the textbook and saw the video I realized some things I hadn't realized before. For example pricking your finger 4 to 6 times a day, and measuring your blood sugar. I feel like that makes your life a lot more complicated, even though it's not. I am so so so glad I don't have diabetes and hope that I never will. I wish the people that do have it will stay safe, and take care of themselves. ]]> 2016-11-01 17:57:07 UTC https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/9mzkq7r2k0xr/wish/134577671 https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/9mzkq7r2k0xr/wish/134577789    I feel like I really should be appreciating life more. I mean, it's lucky that I don't have diabetes but what about those other kids that do have it? They still manage to live life just like me except they have to try ten times harder. It almost makes me feel like I don't deserve to live a normal life like them. I wish people could know more about this condition and we could do something to help cure diabetes or at least help kids who are having trouble with their condition. 
   I think this disease actually does make these kids stronger because they have to really fight for life, to fight to live. But really, I think it depends on how these kids deal with their condition. They have to fight it, not let it consume them. ]]> 2016-11-01 17:57:26 UTC https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/9mzkq7r2k0xr/wish/134577789 https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/9mzkq7r2k0xr/wish/134577800 Before learning all about diabetes I was very concerned about  getting type 1 diabetes. However seeing kids who have diabetes treat with a smile on their faces it makes me feel alot better. 

I think kids with diabetes are stronger because  I want so many things and I can have them.These kids can even eat more than 15 grams of sugar at a time. So if they do get cured they will be used to  not having to much sugar and then be healthier than me or anyone else.

If My friend was diagnosed with diabetes, I would tell them to be strong, and take care of themselves. some ways to take of yourself is : exercise, take your shots, eat well, and always be on a schedule.]]> 2016-11-01 17:57:28 UTC https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/9mzkq7r2k0xr/wish/134577800 https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/9mzkq7r2k0xr/wish/134577845

I think these kids are stronger because they might have hope.  Also they are just like normal kids, but they have a few more steps in their daily routine. I think people should look at them as normal human beings.

I wouldn't say anything about it.  I would respect that they have diabetes.  I would treat them just like you and me.
Q: Is it scary or not?  Do people look at you a different way than a person without diabetes?  Does it hurt pricking or having shots?]]> 2016-11-01 17:57:46 UTC https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/9mzkq7r2k0xr/wish/134577906 https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/9mzkq7r2k0xr/wish/134578007 Oh my god I feel so lucky that I don't have diabetes and that the kids with diabetes I feel so so so bad. 

I know someone with diabetes and have seen what they had to do. It makes me think I should think about what i'm eating and not just put in my mouth.

Now that I know about how you can get type two diabetes i'm almost scared to eat.

When I eat from know on i'm going to check all the ingredients and if its bad i'm not going to eat it.

I want to help them but I am not sure how to. I like the idea of donating money for research though! I think it is amazing how these kids learn to live with diabetes, so in a way I think it does make them stronger. I am not sure what I would say to a friend with diabetes because I don't want to make them feel uncomfortable. I would probably ask them what its like having diabetes. What I definitely wouldn't say is tell them that there weird or that Im better because I don't have it. I also wouldn't ask what it would be like if they didn't have it, because it might make them uncomfortable. I think I am going to appreciate my food more now because I have the luxury of eating whatever I want, and I thought that I was unlucky because I was lactose intolerant, but these kids are way unluckier. I know someone who got diabetes when they were around 13 and I didn't know that they had to go through all of this! I did see a machine piece on her arm and I wondered what it was. I am still not completely sure because it might not be what we learned about.]]> 2016-11-01 17:58:12 UTC https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/9mzkq7r2k0xr/wish/134578077 https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/9mzkq7r2k0xr/wish/134578200 I feel so lucky to be able to live a life where I don't have to worry as much about the food I eat. I think everyone that was diagnosed with diabetes is somewhat stronger because they believe in themselves. It makes people hopeful, which makes them stronger. 
 If I had a good friend that was diagnosed with diabetes, I would want to make sure someone finds a cure for it. I would want to make sure to be supportive and helpful. I think anyone diagnosed with diabetes is really brave. If someone finds a cure for diabetes that would be amazing!!!! ]]> 2016-11-01 17:58:34 UTC https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/9mzkq7r2k0xr/wish/134578200 zackmcg27 https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/9mzkq7r2k0xr/wish/134578242 I feel really different about a lot of kids with diabetes. I used to think that it was just some minor disease about blood but it is way more than that. And  it is a really  big thing but the people that we just learned about act like it is a thing that is kind of small. Also, the people with diabetes have to give themselves pricks and shots. And they can live with all this! Literally!

If I were to have a friend with diabetes, I wouldn't really know what to say, because I don't have it. I would just try to comfort them.

For people with type 2 diabetes, people might think it is the diagnosed person's fault because they ate too much junk food. But I don't think they were TRYING to get themselves diabetes and eating a ton of junk food.]]> 2016-11-01 17:58:41 UTC https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/9mzkq7r2k0xr/wish/134578242 https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/9mzkq7r2k0xr/wish/134578257 I feel very lucky that I don't have diabetes. I think that it is fine to have diabetes they just have to measure their blood sugar and poke their fingers. They also have to measure the carbohydrate in whatever they eat.]]> 2016-11-01 17:58:44 UTC https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/9mzkq7r2k0xr/wish/134578257 https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/9mzkq7r2k0xr/wish/134578342 Well, I think  I am really lucky to not have diabetes.  Now after reading and watching someone who has diabetes , it's  amazing how kid and people over come   diabetes.


Also  when people prick there finger and get there blood tested, there one step closer to finding a cure for diabetes

So after reading and watching stuff about diabetes, I won't eat as much candy.]]> 2016-11-01 17:58:57 UTC https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/9mzkq7r2k0xr/wish/134578342 https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/9mzkq7r2k0xr/wish/134578578 I think it's cool that young kids are able to live with diabetes. They have calculate the carbs in a meal, test their blood, and even give themselves shots. 

If I had a friend with diabetes I would want them to know that I am there to help them, and would want to be respectful to them whenever they had to test or calculate a meal.

 I wonder if type1 or type2 is more common. I think it be type2 because there could be a lot of people who eat too much sweats or junk food. 

I'm thankful that diabetes can't spread, if they could everyone would have them.

Also I feel really bad for them,I mean they have to give themself shots and prick there finger with a needle,wait before they eat somthing. It mut be hard to have diabetes. I wish there was a cure.One good thing about diabetes is that you probley learn how to be more responseble mabie a little more than a kid who does not have diabetes because kids with diabetes have to know what they need to bring with them to keep there blood sugar just right .]]> 2016-11-01 18:00:02 UTC https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/9mzkq7r2k0xr/wish/134578735 https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/9mzkq7r2k0xr/wish/134578753 I feel really bad for the people that have to go through this.  My dad's dad died from Diabetes.  It is amazing that people are able to do all they need to do in one day.  This video made me think of my dad's dad.  Also it made me think of my dog because if you pet a dog you can lower your blood pressure.  Also if you have a dog you need to take it out for walk so you get exercise and the dog gets a walk. It is a win win situation.  ]]> 2016-11-01 18:00:04 UTC https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/9mzkq7r2k0xr/wish/134578753 https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/9mzkq7r2k0xr/wish/134578896 I think it's crazy how people with type I diabetes are so organized and can take care of them self's at very young ages they don't need reminders thay have all these machines to help them stay alive and now I realized that it actually isn't as bad as I thought it was! Now I am more solid on wht I eat after I heard about this actuallly made feel better but it is still pretty sad how they have to do that every day I hope there will be a cure some day I am gratefull that I don't have diabetes and I don't want it inthe future!]]> 2016-11-01 18:00:29 UTC https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/9mzkq7r2k0xr/wish/134578896 https://padlet.com/serinatomsun/9mzkq7r2k0xr/wish/134579149 it would be great if there was a cure because then the world would be so much better and the only thing that will get us closer to a cure is science so...
