For my writing and rhetoric class, I am writing a research paper. Its really cool because I have input on what I get to research. The only two conditions are that it has to be relevant to today, and it involves a family story. At first I had no idea on what I was going to write about, but I wanted to do something that is currently affecting my family, and something I would want to know more about myself. So far, I have read a lot of good sources, but not too much has hit the canvas yet. I have a good idea on how I want to structure my paper, but, like I've said before, not too much has been written yet. The following dialogue is an activity to help me write my research paper.
What is type-2 diabetes? If someone has type two diabetes, their bodies have trouble regulating their insulin levels. Their pancreas is the organ which creates and controls insulin flow that in turn regulates the amount of sugar in their blood. Does type-2 diabetes have a strong genealogical connection? Well, that's a terrific question! Many studies have been performed that seems to show that those who have family members with type-2 diabetes are more likely to get it. Well, if I will get it, what kind of symptoms will I start contracting. Well, if you think you are at risk of diabetes, a trip to your general practitioner might be in order, but some symptoms may include frequent urination, being very thirsty, weight loss, increased hunger, blurry vision, frequent skin or gum infections, fatigue and wounds may not heal, but sometimes, there may be no symptoms. What kind of treatment is there for people with type-2 diabetes? Treatment for type-2 diabetes is not easy on the patient. In include healthy eating, blood sugar monitoring, regular exercising and sometimes insulin therapy.
The prior dialogue has helped me gain good ideas on what to write about, I think I'll start my paper by saying . . .
This was a great research project for you, Kris. Thanks for the fun you brought to class.
