Diabetes Survey Questions
In America today, type 1 diabetes has been steadily on the rise. My inspirations are my grandpa, David, and my niece, Kaydence. My grandfather was diagnosed when he was around 20 years of age. The doctors said he would only have a few more years. Despite this warning, he went on living his life and made it until his late-seventies. I am going to explore his life to try and see what he did right. In my blog, I want to uncover the reasons for this increase, see what is already being done, and find some other possible solutions. Please take this survey and help me discover more about this widespread disease.
