Senior Project Reflection

1) The thing I am most proud of with my senior project is I really got to learn about diabetes. I got to learn it and teach my dad some things that I learn that he never knew before. He learn a lot of new recipes and exercise to help him with his diabetes. I love working with different patients and getting to know them. It was a get way to get started on the field I want to go in later. Another think I am proud of is all the research I did on diabetes because it help me a lot with answering my EQ and understanding the best way to control the diabetes.
2) I think I did really well on my presentation so I would say AE because As i taught my topic people were really interested and stood focus. I didn't have someone look at me with confuse face or feel sleepy. When I did my activities there know everything I taught them. It show that they really understood what i taught them and how they can teach others. I felt like I really did great on my presentation and got everyone on the edge of there feet on the topic. I wanted everyone to understand that diabetes is a serious condition and you want to watch your food intake.
B) For my overall project I would say AE because I did work really hard with the Senior Project. I out a 110% in my Interviews, independent comps, and presentations. I love my senior topic so I interview many people and got more involved with Diabetics. I listen to them and talk to them one on one. I always did more research to help me with my EQ and really help my paper. I help my family along the way with all there eating habits. I wanted to show my dad there is more food he can eat out there then just bad food. I got involved in walks, fundraisers and American Diabetes Assocation convention. I always help out with anything that had to do with diabetes and encourage them to work hard to live. I got to do stress threpary groups and listen to things they wont tell there families. I got to really boned with my patients during my senior project.
3)

• Interviews
• Independent Comp 1
• Working Bib
• I- Search paper 
• Exit interviews
• Share out of answers
• Service Learning

4) What didn't work for me was the 3 Column Chart because I felt it was a repeat of my answer over and over. It didn't really need to be there it was more like a outline but i really didn't understand why we had it.

5)In the future I want to be a RN and then move up to a nurse protector because I love to help people. During my service learning at Casa Colina I work with many nurse and they love the way I was always on top of my things. They understand I am a hard worker and I finish the job. My interviews help me get to know more about the patients and how the medical field works. I got to really see how it helps me with the whole Patient development. I never really like to open up with my self but working their help me understand them. I also got a lot of information because of my service learning and I landed a Job. The staff knows who I am and know I am a hard worker.

Here is the 2 hr Draft.

Answer 3

EQ: What is the best way for a person with type 2 diabetes to manage their condition?

 Answer: By having a good nutrition for diabetics it can lead to Healthy life style, less medication, less tried, and really take care of the body.

First an article on nutrition by CNN.Com/health thought it was better then taking medication. Even though you have been prescribe a medication for diabetes it always best to watch what you eat. You can improve your health in a big way by making small changes in the way you eat, adding in a little more exercise, and losing even a modest amount of weight. A diabetes diet is simply a healthy eating plan that is high in nutrients, low in fat, and moderate in calories. The only difference is that you need to pay more attention to some of your food choices—most notably the carbohydrates you eat.

Second evidence is a book called “Type 2 diabetes for beginners” It talk about how a low carbs diet would be best for type 2 diabetes. She explain that her mother loved all the unhealthy things but she can eat sometimes she likes but in small pieces. The more she ate portion size then the better her diabetes was going. As her process went on she knew then and her stomach start to shrink. She didn’t feel that need to eat all the time. Her weight drop and her exercise were way easier for her.
Third piece is WebMD it great because it gives me different meals I can cook for my dad. It helps out with all the good foods. It said that it better to just do little at a time. It wants them to have a tight control and it was good to kept it good. You want to have a great portion size meal. The more you lose weight it can help better you sugar and less stress. Also diabetics have problems with their feet so better circulation in the feet. It would help get the blood to flow better then before.

In conclusion nutrition can help with type 2 diabetes by health life size, cut down on meds, help sugar, blood pressure, and stress. It good if you get the family involved with your cut down so that I can motivate you.

Room Creativity

1. How do you plan to address the room creativity expectation?
My senior topic is on diabetes so I want to make the room look like a doctors office. I'm going to hang black curtains so I can pin up posters of medical things. I also wanted to set the set in fours and put white paper. the white paper and a pillow. and in the middle lollipops. Also going to have a first aid kit there to show them what should be in there for a diabetic. Also going to have a measuring tape to show the height also when they come in to sign their name to make it look like they have an doctors app.

2. What activity ideas do you have for answer 1 or 2?
For my answer 1 it was managing your stress levels. I haven't really thought of an activity for this one yet but i had an idea. My service learning person Jo Ann trying to think of a way I could do an activity that short and fast. For my Second answer it is excising. I'm going to make an obstacle course and it will show different ways you can do cardio. I will split them up in three groups and time how fast they can go with doing eat course. It will be running, jumping, and speed walking. Its to show how to get the heart pumping and going for type 2 diabetes. I will also do some stretching before we start so that they don't pull any muscle. We might even do a light jog just to start off.

Answer 2

EQ: What is the best way for a person with type 2 diabetes to manage their condition?

Answer: My answer 2 is to exercise because with me exercise in your daily routes you can really mange your body and type 2 diabetes. The best kind of exercise is cardio because you want to get the heart pumping so that you can burn off fat.

• My service learning person Albert Martinez told me about his patients and what he tells them to do in order to maintain there diabetes. He told me that cardio is good for your heart and patients with type 2 diabetes. It gets the blood flowing and it make them lose weight so that they can manage there condition. He told me as his patients lose weight there got there diabetes under control. By under control I mean they had less compilations then before. Type 2 diabetes can get out of hand because you can heart problems, kideny failure, etc... By losing weight it can really reduce even more risk well you have type 2 diabetes.
• My another source will be from WebMD because they have an article on execrising daily while on type 2 diabetes. They stated that if you just walk, running, speed walk for 30 mins it can be a start to exec rise. Also by reducing the your type 2 diabetes and making you take less medication. If you are a diabetic with blood pressure problems you make lower your condition by exercising. Also said that by being overweight or obese by being type 2 diabetes it can lead to another conditions. It also states that by losing weight it can may get you off the medication that you may not need anymore. It help the type 2 diabetics a lot if they exercise.
• My last source is JoAnn Schultz she is a nurse who told me about how everyone she exercise and expertly for diabetics. you don't want to have to much fat around the heart because then that will be really bad.  She told me that Cardio and aerobics is really good for type 2 diabetes. people who dont have arms or legs it good to move the legs around. you can always ask your doctor some execrise that you can do for your certain condition. 

Well all in all type 2 diabetes people really need to watch their weight so that they don't need. I think its really good for more exercise even its a little bit. people need to think about there body and really know how to mange.

Here the link to the template.

Answer 1

1. What is the best way to maintain diabetes?
The best way to maintain diabetes is to Manage there stress levels. If you are a diabetic who has high blood pressure it because you stress yourself out. You want to make sure that you dont stress yourself out to much because it can lead yu into more problems in your body. It can put you in the hostipal because your blood pressure goes up and you will lose curclitaion in the legs and feet.

• One part of evidence I have is my service learning person JoAnn Schultz answer my EQ for me and she told me what could be an answer for my EQ. Also she told me that I can look at the American Diabetes Association for more on the answer. For example she told me that on of her patient that she takes care of have type 2 diabetes and she had to cut her foot off because it got rotten.She told me that her diabetes got really bad and there was nothing they can do to fix the problem. One of the problems that the lady had was a stressful job and was hospitalize 3 times for high blood pressure because of stress.
• Another piece of evidence I have is my book that I am currently reading and that is Diabetes Rising. The author Dan Hurley said in the book to watch out for your blood pressure and stress levels." if a diabetic stress level is to high then it can cause may more problems to there body". Dan Hurley was a guy who know all about diabetes and wrote a book on how to keep it under control and how it all started. He wanted to get the word out there.
• The last piece of evidence I have is a article called 7 ways to control your diabetes. It stated to manage your body. It said to go for doctor visits and to make sure to take care of your body. It said that one of the keys is to stop what you are doing and breathe and think of a happy place. That way your body doesn't overload.

If we don't take care of our bodies and watch out for our sugar levels and manage about body right. then we can be putting our self in danger. We may even go in to a coma if it gets really bad.

Presentation Reflection

1.       In what way did the first interview affect your presentation?  Please explain, be specific and use an example.

The first interview affect my presentation because he give a lot of information for me to start. My interview went every smoothly and my interviewee went on and on about different thing I can use when i do a presentation. Like when my interviewee told me the different types about diabetes and what I can do to maintain the disease. When he told me all the new technology to maintain the diabetes. Also told me about the mediation that they need and which one that they use common for diabetics. For example he told me a story about how diabetics can get really bad and have a lot of symptoms. He told me also what i used in my presentation is that they always have to watch there blood sugar make sure it wasn't to high. he also told me that you don't want to give them a lot of salt because that what brings up there blood pressure and thats how it all starts.

2.       What you say stood out about your presentation performance and why?

When I was presenting I told everyone the three important things that diabetics need to know and how they an just kept the sugar level, blood pressure, and healthy eating. One that stood out to me is when i told them they had to make sure they 3 main things needed to be maintain. When i was researching that information I couldn't believe all the things that they had to look out for. I didn't think it would be that stressful when you were diabetic. They have to watch out for a lot of things and they need to make sure they eat very healthy. Also another thing is when i told them they are never alone they a lot of people out there who had it since they were 10 or 13 years old. Some people even had it when they were very young. I told them that there is always people out there to help them. I show them that they are never alone.

3.       What was the most challenging to do and why?

The most challenging part that i had was is the timing. you wanted to make sure you had enough time and that you didnt want to go over board. Also you wanted to make sure you had all your information beause you didn't want to give them to little information. You wanted to make sure you had your peers listening to you and understood everything you said because you wanted to make sure they understood all the information.
