Kindergartener a view of diabetes



I Talked to all students at an elementary school diabetes kick-off , and I answered questions for the kids. One kindergartener answered the question " what is or what does insulin do" she said insulin helps you do things. It's tricky for kindergarteners to ask questions and not make a comment instead is a very confusing task to ask a question for them. When asked if diabetes is contagious one girl when called on finally asked,what is contagious again?? And when the kids got a chance to ask questions they had about diabetes, this question was asked and was a complete winner: What happens if you eat diabetes? It blew our minds-- what he meant and reworded it was -- can eating something not cooked right give you diabetes?
