Hiya so for our school we have to do an experiment and someone in my group suggested something to do with type one diabetes and everyone thought it was a great idea. The only issue is we have no idea what to do on it we asked about testing blood sugars and we aren’t aloud to test non diabetics blood sugars. Has anyone got any ideas thanks x

Hi, is it a science class or maybe drama ?
It’s like an experiment for a science fair

So what would you be allowed to do if you cannot collect blood samples.
Maybe the transference of potential into kinetic energy..?
Try performing an airshot with 1u, then try it with 4...
I can collect my own just not anyone who isn’t type one I think it’s a school rule i was think weighing the same amount of different foods to see how they affect blood sugars

Be creative, you could use, bi carbonate of soda = high blood sugar, pretend Insulin pen,/syringe, playdoh etc all sorts of household items could be incorporated, or even some fake blood !! Good luck

Thanks I’m actually looking forward to it haha
Some one in my group suggested that we were gonna try ‘healthy drinks‘ and things like that
You could try testing the effects of an error code on a BG meter with a non D, compared, to the expected response of a diabetic.
Sorry if this sounds stupid lol is an error code when the test strip doesn’t work

Aw I get cha now thanks hah
Yes.. D humour.
You could set up a random object moving across a touch screen & test the cognitive/speed of reaction of varying age groups?
The same thing regarding age gap "muscular memory." Get an old dial phone & a modern touch screen, then ask the younger generation to race a "dialup" with a memorised number on both devices. Same with the "more mature."
There maybe surprises at the results..
Just showed this to my wife. Non plussed & not in the slightest miffed.
