Hello Universe. We are by names of Allison Cherono Aryahebwa and Afiah Basajjangabo. We are in primary six and we are at a lovely school called Grand Maria International School. We are 11 years old .
When we eat food containing carbohydrates e.g maize, cassava, bread e.t.c., the body converts it into glucose. The body needs glucose to get energy to work. However, excess glucose in the blood damages our organs like eyes, heart, kidneys, and so on. Therefore the body controls the level of glucose in the blood. When the body fails to control the level of glucose we get organ damage and become sick. This is a condition called diabetes.
In the body there is an organ called the pancreas. This is the organ that produces a substance called insulin. Insulin controls the level of glucose in the body. When the pancreas does not produce enough insulin to control the glucose we get diabetes.
Diabetes can also be caused by poor lifestyle habbits like lack of exercise and obesity

Hello there, I am Namuli Zoe Naomi. I know what it's like to have a diabetic patient. My grandmother is diabetic and one of the things I have learned is that she has to take her medicine regularly and eat a diet full of greens. I have learnt more about it from your report and now I can help her more.
