There are millions of diseases in the world that we have not discovered yet. But one noncommunicable disease that I find interesting is Diabetes. A friend of mine I have grown up with all my life, was diagnosed with diabetes when she was 6 years old. I have seen her fight this disease and rise above it.

To answer these questions, I researched each disease and asked each person how they think they got the disease and what they would’ve changed so that never got the disease in the first place. My paternal grandfather had a heart disease and my grandmother had lung cancer. I asked my father how he thinks his parents could’ve prevented their deaths from these diseases and he said my grandmother smoked cigarettes and my grandfather didn’t like to go to the doctor. Simple changes could’ve saved my grandparents life but like I learned in the Escape Fire Documentary even if people know they know how to prevent a disease they are sometimes too stubborn to help themselves.
