Analysis of
Pretest/Posttest Results
• Q 15 Would you explain diabetes to your
parents? Why or why not?
Y 15
N1
• Q 16 Would you change your eating habits?
Why or why not?
Y 13
N3
• Q 17 Would you join a sports team or
exercise program? *
Y 8
N2
• * Six students are presently exercising.
Design Activity
• Feed cereal with high sugar content to active
yeast and describe what happens.
• Measure the volume of the gas released by the
yeast
• Redo the experiment with two additions
• Give dollar values to the yeast and cereal
• 1.Design the cheapest way to produce a given
amount of gas
• 2.Try to achieve a gas output equal to an amount
given by the teacher
Design Activity
• Extended lab experiment for two consecutive
days
• Use test tubes and balloons instead of zip lock
bags
• Use a balance or measuring spoon instead of
measuring cup
• Use a stop watch to monitor time
Inquiry
Description:
A research of web sites to introduce themselves to
Diabetes
Lessons Learned:
 Have students make predictions
 Have students do a Web quest
 Have students comprise a list of important
vocabulary words relevant to diabetes
 Have students share and discuss ideas
Ethics
Brief Description:
Read article to students for group discussion.
Lessons Learned:
 Teachers and students will behave in a manner that
demonstrates honesty, integrity, and fairness.
 Teachers and students will accept responsibility and
accountability for personal competence.
 Teachers and students should respect self and others by
causing no harm, physically or verbally.
Improvements/
Recommendations
Engineering Design:
Needs to have more hands-on activities.
Scientific Inquiry:
Explore questions related to the subject in depth.
Professional Ethics:
Students need a review in the program Character Counts
and review the rules about sharing individual work.
Materials:
Review safety, lab precautions, and procedures.
Use test tubes and balloons instead of zip lock bags.
Modifications
Elementary (K-4):
Instead of a web search, have students make posters after
class discussion on diabetes.
Have students do some exercises.
Have students reproduce the food pyramid.
Middle (5-8):
Module was targeted for the middle school population.
High School (9-12):
Incorporate “Movement Across Membrane” experiment.
Have students make probability or statistical predictions.
Invite an expert in the field of diabetes to lecture and answer questions;
and lead group discussion. Invite a diabetic patient to discuss the health
problems associated with diabetes.
History of Diabetes
1552 B.C.
•
Earliest known record of diabetes mentioned on 3rd Dynasty Egyptian papyrus by
physician Hesy-Ra; mentions polyuria (frequent urination) as a symptom.
1st Century A.D.
• Diabetes described by Arateus as 'the melting down of flesh and limbs into urine.
Up to 11th Century
• Diabetes commonly diagnosed by 'water tasters,' who drank the urine of those
suspected of having diabetes; the urine of people with diabetes was thought to be
sweet-tasting.
Early 19th Century
• First chemical tests developed to indicate and measure the presence of sugar in the
urine.
1900-1915
• 'Fad' diabetes diets include: the 'oat-cure' (in which the majority of diet was made up
of oatmeal), the milk diet, the rice cure, 'potato therapy' and even the use of opium!
1910-1920
• Joslin believes diabetes to be 'the best of the chronic diseases' because it was
'clean, seldom unsightly, not contagious, often painless and susceptible to treatment.'
History of Diabetes-2
Summer 1921
• Insulin is 'discovered'. A de-pancreatized dog is successfully treated with
insulin.
1940s
• Link is made between diabetes and long-term complications (kidney and eye
disease).
1955
• Oral drugs are introduced to help lower blood glucose levels.
1959
• Two major types of diabetes are recognized: type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes
and type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes.
1960 & 1970
• The purity of insulin is improved. Home testing for sugar levels in urine
increases level of control for people with diabetes. Blood glucose meters and
insulin pumps are developed. Laser therapy is used to help slow or prevent
blindness in some people with diabetes.
1998
• The United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) is published. UKPDS
results clearly identify the importance of good glucose control and good blood
pressure control in the delay and/or prevention of complications in type 2
diabetes.
Rich fiber rich fruits, vegetables and whole
grains
Consume sugar- and starch- containing
foods and beverage less frequently to reduce
calories
Focus on Fiber

Ethics
1. Maintain an acceptable lifestyle.
2. Food Diary – Record the time. Record the
amount, read food labels.
3. Regular exercise.
4. Regularly test and record blood glucose.
Ethics
5. Follow doctor’s directions to take insulin or oral
medication.
6. Do not omit or reduce your diabetes
medications.
7. Practice self-control when dining.
