Capstone Hours


Hours Done: 4

On April 5, 2013 I went to South San Francisco Clinic from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm. My mentor had more patients come in to show them how to use the Blood Glucose Monitoring System. We did the same thing as last week; we helped them program the machine and also showed them how to use it. It was easier for me because I had done this the other week and I knew how to do it perfectly.  I also learned that diabetes is very dangerous to have because you could go blind and your nerves that are the farthest from your heart can dye faster and these are your toes and your kidneys.  The number of people having diabetes is increasing. People with diabetes have to eat health, drink a lot of water, and walk at least an hour every day.  They have to check their sugar at least twice a day so they could have their sugar controlled. Your sugar has to be between 90-130, this is normal.  I learned that I have to take care of myself, by eating healthy and doing exercise.  Taking care of your body is very important.

Total Hours; 17
