Meet some kids with diabetes in this video:
Type 1 Diabetes: What You Need to Know by JDRF
Listen to what the kids say about what it’s like to have Type 1 Diabetes, how others can help and being included.
After the videos, here are questions to think about:
- How are the kids in the video similar to kids who don’t have Type 1 Diabetes?
- What were some of the ways they said they were different?
- What were some of the things the kids like to do and said they are good at doing? Are any of these something you enjoy too?
- What did the kids say about how they wanted to be treated? How do you want to be treated?
Coming Up Next…your unit presentation will happen soon!
Can you think of questions you might have for the guest speaker? We’ll see you soon!
