Hi Eunice, I think you made a valid point on your post regarding Archie’s likely to have a negative perception about the Evans’. I think part of the problem is that Archie see the world in a different lens as opposed to most folks. He grew up in time that a lot of things that are acceptable now, and they weren’t acceptable then. No wonder he belittle anyone that is not white. Back then, racism was considered the norms, and it was not usual for white folks to see themselves as superior than blacks’.…
Another way technology is used to improve lives of people with diabetes is, a machine that monitors blood sugar levels every minute. The article says” Scientists are also testing a skin patch not much bigger than the face of a watch that can monitor blood sugar levels…
Journal Entry 1 Last year and the year before that I felt like an outsider. It wasn’t because no one liked me, or I ate lunch by myself. I wasn’t the “normal” situation of being that random kid in the group. It was more that I have so many parts of my personality that differ when it comes to being fully a part of a clique. For example, I love going shopping and playing sports, but I love all things nerdy.…
Step 4: Use of Big Data – Establishing an Electronic Health Records system coupled with big data can be very helpful in building individual patient histories which can play vital role in customizing treatments. Step 5: Regular Tests – Developing a system where regular are conducted on every patient visits will enable greater monitoring and detection of new cases leading to better healthcare outcomes. Step 6: Awareness – Actively working with the community on the public awareness programs as well as promoting a healthy lifestyle can be very beneficial in combating the Type 2 Diabetes.

This Week Journal Stanley This week lecture, presentation was interesting. It is because it one of the things that I have been battling with most of my life. Having a guest speaker walking into the classroom to talk about the same topic titled “Time Management” that I never have answer to all of my life really amaze me. Paying active attention to the presenter really changed my perspective about how I view things, especially when her introduction was a song from “Mission Impossible” movie. That alone was outrageous because of how I was feeling about things that was never impossible for me to attain.…

Mechanical engineering, computer science, chemical science and other expertise this are the needed science to make this invention. Chemical science is required for making the Insulin. Insulin can be made chemically by mixing and synthesizing amino acids. Chemical science involves chemical engineering and biochemistry.…
First, a high school diploma is needed. An aspirant should complete high school studies with good grades. If the aspirant doesn’t have a diploma he/she is not going to be accepted in any nursing school because of this is a requirement. Second, enroll in entry-level training.

Technology advances every day and has been a lot of help to me when helping my brother. The goal of the new technology is to “subtract hassle from living with diabetes – fewer injections and finger sticks, less math, less data overload, less pain, and less worry” (diatribe). I recently went to a diabetes class to learn about the new system and how to work his new technology. This affected my normal understanding of the diabetes culture, because we had used the same technology for eight years and then to just suddenly change everything was difficult. I chose to take the class with my brother, because when something goes wrong with his blood sugar I need to know how to fix it, if my mom is not around.…
Type One diabetes can affect children and adults at any age, and is affected by both environmental and genetic factors. This type of diabetes has nothing to do with diets or lifestyle choices, and cannot be prevented.
