Type 1 Diabetes. . .Hope For The Holidays

So the other day I found out that one of my bestfriends (i have 2, which both have a child) her daughter (age 2) has Type 1 diabetes.

So this has impacted my life greatly. So I did some research to find out more about this disease: Here is what i found:

WORST-BURGER IN THE USA!!!!!!

Worst Fast-Food Cheeseburger in America

Burger King Triple Whopper Sandwich with Cheese and Mayo

1,250 calories

84 g fat (32 g saturated, 3.5 g trans)

1,600 mg sodium

This Triple Whopper is triple trouble. You could remove two patties and still be looking at more calories than you should tussle with in one sitting. And the fact that it’s got more trans fat than you should eat in a day only adds insult to injury. The problem with BK burgers is that not a… Continue

Sleeping Tummy

I get my sleeping problems from my mom. My mom and I have this tendency that if we're in a stall position we could just shut our eyes and then we're completely knocked out. I think I observed my mom do it so much growing up that I grew immuned to it. So, today after the Youth Activism Against Obesity meeting, Christina (the advisor) and Connie (member) were in the car talking about life as usual. I was explaining to them how I get more sleep than any senior AP student I know of and I find it… Continue
