Such an important topic to speak about, especially today, since it is one of the most common chronic diseases roaming around our society. Thank you, Muskaan, for making an entertaining yet informative article speaking about this huge problem that the United States faces. Again, a great read, and great job on this article.

Hi Muskaan! Your infographic, in my opinion, is highly significant and fascinating for everyone to learn more about a condition that, while perhaps well-known, not many people understand the nature of. I really like how you included potential risk factors, symptoms, and treatment, giving people the tools required to help them learn more on this subject, while at the same time whether they possess some of these risk factors allowing them to identify whether they are at risk and what steps that they can take to make changes for their health.

Hi Muskaan! I enjoyed this graphic and thought it was organized. I found this very appealing and easy to dissect! Thank you for sharing this, and I wish you the best of luck for the awards. I feel like this useful information should be rewarded greatly.

As someone who is borderline diabetic with type 1. It is purely genetics but it is nice being informed on what the risk factors are as well as keep an eye out for how you can lower those chances. I myself workout and have a balanced diet because the last thing i want is to spend thousands of dollars on medication. It is nice to bring awareness to this topic as it is not talked about much.

A really well written essay, as someone who was almost type 1 diabetic, this article provided me with so much information. I was able to learn the differences between all type of diabetes was intriguing as well as learning how to lower blood sugar levels to make insulin more effective. It is quite tragic to know that there is no solution for those suffering from any form of diabetes, but altogether this is an awesome detailed article.

I found it very refreshing that instead of a written essay it was more like a poster. It was very well organized and easy to read. I did not know it was mostly in older people and as we get older I feel it is very helpful to know what causes it. It is crazy to me that whether it is visible with the patch or not 1in every 10 people are walking around with it.

This article or infographic was very interesting. The way you set this up is very cool and creative. When you hear the word diabetes, you automatically start to freak out, well at least I do. I know that having diabetes isn’t good for you but for some people, it is genetic, which can be annoying. Eating too much sugar, or too much salt can lead to diabetes, and being overweight can also lead to diabetes, there are a bunch of risk factors that can lead to diabetes. I really liked reading this infographic and it provided a lot of information.

I really didn’t know much about type two diabetes or really know how people get it ,but this was filled great information that got straight to the point. I was also very surprised 1 in 10 people are have diabetes i had no idea that it affected that many people. This was a very good infographic and it taught me a lot more.
Jocelyn Elias
This infographic is very informational and gets you straight to the point. Recently one of my family members was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and while I did do some research I couldn’t find much on the topic. I feel that you were able to provide answers to all of my basic questions on what it is and how it’s treated. It is a great infographic.

The creativity behind infographics really amazes me. You created something that is both informational and makes me want to read and learn about your topic.
