Suddenly i'm unblinded from the pitch black word and I'm sitting in a fancy restaurant.I look down and there's a crispy fried chicken just sitting there on the plate sided with some yummy french fries. i look up at my family whats this for? it's for you. i wonder in my head what for well who cares. I stuffed in my mouth bit by bit. Water water i need water my family was laughing and handed me some water. As my throat cooled down my family said there must of been some spices on the chicken they giggled.

My Reflection : I think i did ok on my 100 word challenge. i think i need to work on less weird stories.

Notes From Eddie Hughes.

Notes from Eddie Hughes

Diabetes:

Too much sugar in your blood- glucose

Pancreas- makes insulin- tells your blood to take up the glucose. With diabetes the insulin is not working so you end up with too much glucose

Type 1- people have NO insulin made- an auto-immune disease. Born with it.

Type 2 diabetes- can be stopped if we live right and are healthy- pancreas makes insulin to control diabetes but there is still a problem because the cells in the blood aren’t taking up the sugar.

Type 2 people don’t usually have to inject if they lose weight and stay healthy- eat the right things

Risk factors- having a big puku

• smoking

The kidneys- purifies the blood.

Consequences of too much sugar

Too much sugar can damage your kidneys- but can have a kidney transplant

Your eyes can deteriorate- can go blind- this is called retinopathy- sugar affects your retina. No transplants for eyes!

Pins and needles- called neuropathy- nerves get damaged. Feet lose feeling- can be easily damaged- sometimes doctors have to amputate feet/legs.

Controlling diabetes

• test your blood-sugar level
• inject yourself with the right amount of insulin
• get plenty of exercise
• eat lots of vegetables

Preventing diabetes:

Healthy eating- “The Food Plate - the new way to describe it (instead the old “Food Pyramid”).

Lots of exercise

5+ A Day

Have 5 servings of vegies a day- eat all the colours too!

Carbohydrates

Low GI- carbohydrates such as whole grains, brown rice release energy more slowly

Sugar in Fizzy Drinks: We estimated and then found out how much sugar is in common fizzy drinks (V, Coca Cola and ginger beer)

Can of V = 6  ½ teaspoons of sugar!

Coke (600ml) = 16 teaspoons of sugar!

Ginger Beer (2L) = 25 teaspoons of sugar!

Exercise:

Try for 60 mins a day

Summary of Diabetes:

Disease where people have higher than normal blood sugar

It is caused by insulin not working properly

Type 1 : No insulin/ Type 2: insulin resistance (insulin doesn’t work properly)

Diabetes can cause problems with the heart, kidneys, nerves (of the limbs) and the eyes

Can be managed by lowering sugar levels by changing diet or having insulin injections

Type 2 diabetes can often be prevented by staying fit and eating healthy

Well-being Tests by Doctors:

Babinski test- tickle the bottom of your feet- tests for neural (brain)damage

Reflex test- a little reflex hammer knocks on the place just below the knees and on the arm at the inside of the elbow

Netball Field Day

My Reflection:
I enjoyed going to the netball field because it was really fun and I got to learn how to play netball. I've only played the game a few times with my cousins but never as part of a school team.

I played centre and wing defence and goal defence but it was mainly centre.  I learned where the positions could go on the court. 

I am proud of the way I helped pass the ball to my team.

My next step is to get better with with my netball skills.
