Parting is such sweet sorrow...but we have to close and say good-bye. This is the last and final blog posting for the Keeping it Real with Diabetes blog. We appreciate all of your comments and opinions about each of our events. Thank you for all of your assistance. Your comments have helped us to figure what would be the best routes to take to better our lifestyles. Also, we want to encourage you all to continue living healthy lifestyles of your own.
Although this is the end, I, Sommer Brooks, have learned quite a few things while posting this blog. First, I have learned that it is not as easy as it may seem. It is hard to attract others to a blog using just words, but I am extremely grateful for all of the people who were able to comment. I, also, noticed that diabetes is a condition that not a lot of people understand. I for one didn't truly know the impact nor the warning signs of diabetes and I was fascinated to find out that others sympathized with my thoughts. I have also gained a lot of good ideas from each blog comment posted. For my special event, I took a lot of your suggestions and put them to good use. I tried to spice up my menu a little for my luncheon because I noticed that commentators enjoy quick, tasty foods, but had concerns about their health. Overall, I enjoyed this new experience.
I, Ashley Palmer would personally like to thank each and everyone of our guest for their comments and participation in our (fictitious) diabetes events. I have used all of your comments opinions and questions to better my event and inform my public. Before this class I would not have incorporated blogging as a way to build fans, communicate, or get ideas, but this experience has been helpful and motivating. In conclusion to our blog I hoped everyone learned something new and is implementing some of our healthy life style tips. Our goal at my health fair was to get people aware of the symptoms so that they would go out and get tested. Since diabetes related deaths are so common amongst the African American communities, I wanted to help save lives. The first step is knowing the symptoms of diabetes in order to getting tested.
Hello Blogger's, It's sad to say that this is our last blog. I would like to thank each and every one of you for taking time out and supporting this blog site. Diabetes is a very important issue in the African American community and I have learned that it shouldn't be taken lightly. While I was preparing my event the "Tiger Fight: 24 Hours to a Healthy Lifestyle" I implemented many activities that would fit every walk of life for people with diabetes. One my goals was to encourage people that getting fit is fun! I took your suggestions seriously, because even though this was a fictitious event, I wanted to know what interested my public.Diabetes is a disease that can be avoided, if approached at an early stage, so I thought it was important to involve the youth in my festivities. To JJ#1, I would like to thank you personally for commenting on the site every week and giving us your opinion, it was refreshing to read your comments. I hope everyone that came in contact with our blog, took some valuable information from it and are ready to live a more healthy lifestyle. YOU CAN DO IT...
QUESTION? Was this site beneficial to you, and tell us what you have discovered about yourself while trying to live a healthy life?
Hey!!!it means so much to me that you all recognized me in your thank you's. I will miss commenting and checking up on the statuses of you all's asignments. Hopefully you will keep the site going.I have learned that living a healthy lifestyle takes time and patience with your self. over a period of weeks i have done little things like making myself go to bed at an earlier hour to have more energy throught the day. I hope everyone keeps up the good work and stay in touch.

Hey everyone!
ReplyDeleteWhile planning my event, I was fortunate enough to do a lot of research on diabetes. Since my mother has diabetes, I would always update her on the new technology for diabetes and how to stay healthy. receiving this opportunity to plan this event was educational and life changing. I have changed all my unhealthy habits.
