Anatomy of Diabetes Mellitus

A lesson on what diabetes is, what is the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, creating a food diary, how the sugar gets into cells, how to count carbs, and how people with Type 1 diabetes calculate their insulin.

This is a lesson that would go well in a digestive unit or a cell unit. It can be completed in 2-3 days with a 1-week pre-activity of gathering food diary information.
