I already have the basics, but I could use a little help because when we go back to health we are going to be talking about diabetes because I think it is a very important topic that all teens should know about, be aware of, and know how to use the insulin pump just in case one of their friends or family members has it.

For Health class I need to put together a project on diabetes, and I need some ideas of what I can do for it.

I’m at a high risk of developing diabetes and was told to watch what i eat . I understand no candy and such but what should i be eating ? What is appropriate for the situation im in ?

I was wondering how often i should get checked for diabetes because both my dad and my grandma have it. I know that i am at risk because it runs on my dads side of the family.
I also get dizzy when I stand up. And I am a teen that does do sports. I am not overweight.
When i do get dizzy i feel like i am about to faint and if i eat something it helps.

Why would that be? Thanks for any help in understanding this.

For my A-Level course I have to write a report on a problem in Biology that is being solved at the moment. Being interested in medicine, I chose Diabetes.

I have to talk about what Diabetes is, how it’s being solved and the alternative methods of solving it.

I know putting up a question on Yahoo answers is a bit ‘cheaty’, but it is a very difficult course so I don’t care. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
