Where Did the Sugar Go?

This activity focuses on how sugar moves throughout the body and the effect diabetes can have on these processes.

This activity includes 3 student stations:

1. Meal prepping
2. Monitoring
3. Motion.

At the meal prepping station, students are challenged to plan a meal that fits the carbohydrate constraints of a diabetic patient.

At the monitoring station, students use a glucometer to test simulated patient blood samples taken before and after eating a meal.

At the motion station, students use glucose test strips to test simulated patient plasma samples taken before and after exercising.
