FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded):

Not everyone that has diabetes has type 1 diabetes "Some people develop a type of diabetes – called secondary diabetes -- which is similar to type 1 diabetes, but the beta cells are not destroyed by the immune system but by some other factor".

Type 1 diabetes is caused when "the body's own immune system destroys the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas".

Whenever we eat sugary food with glucose " the pancreas release[s] insulin".

When there is an excess of sugar " in the blood can cause an increase in urination".

When you lose too much sugar during urination " a loss of calories which provide energy and therefore many people with high sugars lose weight".

i believe

1.       I believe men and women should be treated as equals when they have the same jobs.

2.       I believe teachers should be more fun when they teach (like Ms. Grandchamp)

3.       I believe every child should get a cell phone when they’re in 5^th grade and no sooner.

4.       I believe seniors in high school should be able to do whatever they want.

5.       I believe our school needs to lighten up on every policy they have.

4. When teenagers reach their last year of high school they would like to slack off some and do what they want at times. After 12 years of schooling we would like to slack of one year before we go into the real world and become adults. It’s our last year of being kids and we would like to enjoy it. Many people drop out of school during their senior year because it’s so hard, if we were able to slack off some there would be a higher graduation rate nationwide because more people would be willing to finish school if there was a year of relaxing waiting for them their senior year.
