Doctor Teaches Kids About Diabetes

I teamed up with The McClure Twins, Ava and Alexis, to play my version of Mad Libs I call “Med Libs”. They provided answers to all the prompts I threw at them, then I worked those words into a story educating them about Type 1 Diabetes. We used their suggestions like kiwis, plumber, and giraffe to tell the story of a pig named Nia who gets diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes by Dr. Cockroach. While Nia is initially upset by the news, Dr. Cockroach lets her know that Type 1 Diabetes isn’t her fault, she was born with it, and there are many ways she can mitigate the symptoms to live a happy and healthy life.

gy named nia who lived in holmesburg every day at school mia would ask their teacher miss giraffe to go to the bathroom remember miss giraffe yes yeah this wasn't just once a day though as nia would have to go every 30 minutes to the bathroom taking them away from painting building volcanoes and even reading ms giraffe thought this was strange so she told nia's mom and suggested that she'd take nia to the best doctor in homestead holmesburg what'd i say homestead homestead do you know who the be
st doctor is in holmesburg document nope dr cockroach so nia goes to dr cockroach's office neo walks into the examination room and it smelled like rotten kiwis and broken shavers yeah and that turns out because dr cockroach had just eaten lunch dr cockroach examined mia's liver but that was healthy then dr cockroach used a stethoscope just like this and listened to mia's heart but that was healthy too finally dr cockroach performed a blood test so as dr cockroach is performing the blood test nia
was waiting for the results and she felt very nervous nia dreamed one day of becoming a plumber would being sick prevent them from doing that would they be lonely and spend their entire life at home watching the thundermans well finally dr cockroach returned with the blood test results dr cockroach told nia that she had type 1 diabetes you heard of that yeah yeah so immediately nia began to run because they were so mad does this mean i will never grow up to be a plumber ask nia not at all said
dr cockroach people with type 1 diabetes actually live entirely normal and successful lives they grow up to be doctors photographers and if they're lucky even youtubers yes is this because of all the cheese pizza i've been eating as nia not at all replied dr cockroach type 1 diabetes is not your fault it may cause you to feel thirsty use the bathroom often which would explain why you have to leave class so much it can give you headaches and you can make your breath even smell like watermelons wh
at yeah type 1 diabetes is a lifelong illness which means there is no cure but it can be controlled you'll need to check your blood sugar levels and make sure they don't get too high or too low and all that being said if you monitor those levels and take care of your body you can live a long hairy life and become a plumber [Music] do you know what type 1 diabetes is now you're born diabetes yeah and it's not your problem but you have to keep your blood pressure not too high i mean your um your w
eather sugar sugar but you're right too the blood pressure too it's important yeah and not too high but not too low and number two is when you get it when you eat too much sweets and you get it well sometimes that can happen but type 1 diabetes means you're born with it type 2 means you develop it in your life do you know what's the hormone that you need to function in order for your blood levels to be normal blood sugar levels medicine someone said it behind you insulin yes okay so there's an o
rgan inside your abdomen here it's called a pancreas a pancreas yeah it sounds funny right like a penguin yes and it makes insulin and what that insulin does is it allows the sugar to go into your cells so you can be healthy and strong and insulin is made by pang gwins pancreas i think you guys figured it out you're basically doctors though do you have any questions about type 1 diabetes will we ever find a cure for diabetes um i think in the future we might right now we don't have one but we ha
ve a way to treat it to keep you healthy and happy does it hot diabetes does it hot it can make your stomach hurt sometimes make your belly hurt on its own if you manage it well it's okay it doesn't hurt and if you have to give yourself insulin it's a little prick but it doesn't hurt that much do a lot of kids have diabetes across the world yes it's a very common condition thousands if not millions of kids around the world have diabetes more than that yeah because there's a lot of people there's
a lot of people good job all right we learned about type 1 diabetes and the liver and then and this and then you have to do the explosion oh you added it exploded that was it check out this video where we watch doc mcstuffins and check out the video on their channel people people people people you you you u u [Music]
