Good morning, everyone.
- 00:02 - 00:05
My name is Elliott Johnston, and today I'm going to
- 00:05 - 00:07
talk about Type one diabetes.
- 00:10 - 00:11
I did my project on it.
- 00:11 - 00:12
Ben McDaniel.
- 00:13 - 00:14
He is a 21 year old man.
- 00:15 - 00:19
Typically, people are born with Type one diabetes, but Ben
- 00:19 - 00:21
was not diagnosed until junior year 2016.
- 00:23 - 00:27
This disease limited him on school activities, jobs and simply
- 00:28 - 00:28
daily living.
- 00:31 - 00:34
Some outcomes of this disease are Ben has a shorter
- 00:35 - 00:39
life expense E ah, weaker immune system and a better
- 00:39 - 00:41
chance of getting heart disease when he is older.
- 00:45 - 00:49
In Ben's case, his disease has affected his lifestyle as
- 00:49 - 00:51
well as decisions regarding daily and future plants.
- 00:52 - 00:55
Ben must prioritize his health on a daily basis.
- 01:01 - 01:03
Here is a picture of me and Ben.
- 01:08 - 01:11
The first predictor is I, B s and acid reflux.
- 01:12 - 01:15
When he was younger, some outcomes of this was he
- 01:15 - 01:19
had a very poor diet, sharp stomach paints and major
- 01:20 - 01:24
heartburn. Ben was almost scared to eat because of thes
- 01:24 - 01:29
pains, some foods that caused him heartburn, where red meats
- 01:29 - 01:37
like pork, pizza and anything spicy prior to his diagnosis
- 01:38 - 01:40
been experienced minimal health complications.
- 01:41 - 01:46
Following diagnosis, Ben began to develop side effects from diabetes.
- 01:52 - 01:54
The second predictor is very minimal.
- 01:55 - 02:02
Parental interaction, predictive outcomes, neglect, confidence issues and attention problems.
- 02:06 - 02:09
When Ben was diagnosed with diabetes, his mother was in
- 02:09 - 02:11
denial Because of this denial.
- 02:11 - 02:14
She did not help him learn about his condition and
- 02:14 - 02:15
associated medicine.
- 02:16 - 02:20
Bence father displayed no interest in his son's condition on
- 02:20 - 02:23
his own, been learned to manage his symptoms and disease.
- 02:25 - 02:28
Ben had to figure out what medication he needed to
- 02:28 - 02:32
survive, and he also had to pay for it all
- 02:32 - 02:33
by himself.
- 02:33 - 02:36
He had no help in this disease.
- 02:39 - 02:41
Here is a picture of Ben and his mom.
- 02:42 - 02:46
Ah, Week after he was diagnosed, she was still in
- 02:46 - 02:58
denial. The third predictor is several medical injuries at a
- 02:58 - 02:59
younger age.
- 03:00 - 03:05
Some predictive outcomes are extensive medical bills, issues with pain
- 03:06 - 03:06
and trauma.
- 03:09 - 03:10
Previous injuries.
- 03:10 - 03:13
Prior to discovering his diabetes, Ben was in a traumatizing
- 03:14 - 03:15
motorcycle accident.
- 03:16 - 03:19
This accident incurred many medical bills and expenses.
- 03:20 - 03:24
Once diagnosed with diabetes, been must maintain his sugar levels
- 03:24 - 03:29
With insulin, Ben must pay approximately $300 per month for
- 03:29 - 03:30
medication and equipment.
- 03:31 - 03:34
Ben is still paying for the motorcycle accident as he
- 03:34 - 03:36
pays for his monthly diabetic medication.
- 03:40 - 03:42
Here is a picture of been playing football.
- 03:44 - 03:46
This is also where he found out that he was
- 03:46 - 03:50
diabetic. He simply was in practice running drills and he
- 03:51 - 03:51
passed out.
- 03:55 - 03:57
They called the nurse and she came and looked at
- 03:57 - 04:00
him. She gave him Ah, few crackers and some orange
- 04:00 - 04:04
juice. He felt much better after he had eight something.
- 04:05 - 04:06
Then he continued to practice.
- 04:07 - 04:11
About a week after he did the same thing again,
- 04:11 - 04:13
he passed out on the football field.
- 04:14 - 04:15
They rushed him to the E.
- 04:15 - 04:17
R, and they told him that he was Type one
- 04:18 - 04:22
diabetic. In Ben's case, this was very dangerous, and he
- 04:22 - 04:22
could have died.
- 04:27 - 04:28
They had to immediately put him on insulin.
- 04:36 - 04:37
The fourth predictor is generations.
- 04:39 - 04:40
Some predictive outcomes are increased.
- 04:41 - 04:45
Likelihood of passing diabetes to future Children can lead to
- 04:45 - 04:47
neuropathy and retinopathy.
- 04:50 - 04:53
There are many genetic factors that could be passed down
- 04:53 - 04:54
to future Children.
- 04:55 - 04:57
Many of these health issues can be life hindering and
- 04:57 - 04:58
life changing.
- 04:59 - 05:02
Ben has to constantly think about if he has Children
- 05:02 - 05:05
as he willing to pass down type one diabetes to
- 05:05 - 05:08
them. He does not want his kids to suffer like
- 05:08 - 05:18
he has the fifth and last predictor is fear of
- 05:18 - 05:20
being out casted by society.
- 05:21 - 05:26
Some predictive outcomes are limitations in workforce fitting in and
- 05:26 - 05:27
public association.
- 05:29 - 05:33
Ben is not able to join the military, police forces
- 05:33 - 05:35
or anything ambulance related.
- 05:37 - 05:41
He has always had problems about fitting in because he
- 05:41 - 05:45
has to prick his finger every other hour to check
- 05:45 - 05:45
his sugar.
- 05:47 - 05:50
This picture explains what he has to do.
- 05:50 - 05:53
He has to prick his finger until the point where
- 05:53 - 05:55
it bleeds, and he has to put the blood onto
- 05:56 - 05:59
a test strip and put the test strip into the
- 05:59 - 06:02
machine. And it tells him his sugar level again.
- 06:03 - 06:07
He has to do this probably 10 times a day.
- 06:08 - 06:10
It is very sad because his fingers air probably very
- 06:11 - 06:14
sore. He also has to inject himself with a shot
- 06:15 - 06:17
of insulin every time he eats.
- 06:18 - 06:20
So he probably has to inject himself four or five
- 06:20 - 06:22
times with the needle in his stomach.
- 06:26 - 06:28
He has felt insecure when he goes out to eat
- 06:29 - 06:29
and has to do this.
- 06:30 - 06:34
Some people have called the cops on him, accusing he
- 06:34 - 06:35
was taking drugs.
- 06:36 - 06:40
The police officer actually came to the restaurant one time
- 06:40 - 06:41
and asked him if he was taking drugs.
- 06:42 - 06:45
He had to simply explain to the police officer that
- 06:46 - 06:48
he was type one diabetic and that he has to
- 06:48 - 06:52
taken insulin shot every time after he eats or he
- 06:52 - 06:52
will die.
- 06:56 - 06:57
Thank you for listening.
- 06:57 - 06:59
