Plan of Action:
Our group S.H.A.D.E (Students Handling Adverse Diabetic Effects) plans to provide diabetic screenings for those who have not been tested, as well as provide techniques and tactics for those who do have diabetes, so they can avoid harmful outbreaks. We all realize that we cannot cure their diabetes, but we can provide the education and tips needed to help people cope through any of their personal diabetic situations. We plan to conduct surveys of students, parents, and citizens to learn more about their general knowledge of diabetes. We will also interview our school nurse to find students’ needs and how we can further educate them. We will also meet with an endocrinologist to extend our knowledge and receive suggestions that will benefit our group. Further education will be spread throughout the school using an educational slideshow.

These will consist of having the flag raising, diabetic testing stations and information about our group as well as our
