Write an article based on this "Make lifestyle choices with pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Eat fewer carbohydrates. Eat more foods high in healthy proteins and fats (saturated fats, omega-3 and omega-9 polyunsaturated, and monounsaturated fats). Do not smoke. Do not rely on medication alone. Take oral hypoglycemic medications if you have type 2 or gestational diabetes. Administer insulin injections if you have type 1 diabetes. Ask about new treatments for diabetes."
article: These conditions often develop because of the choices we make, rather than our genetics. By changing those choices, you can reduce your blood sugar or prevent the development of the condition. When your body metabolizes carbs they turn to sugar, and the body needs more insulin to use it. Cut down on grains, pastas, candies, sweets, soda and other foods that are high in simple carbohydrates, as your body processes these too quickly and they can cause a spike in blood sugar. Talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian about incorporating complex carbohydrates with plenty of fiber and a low-GI (glycemic index) rating into your diet. Low-GI, complex carbs include:  Beans and legumes Non-starchy vegetables (most vegetables, except foods like parsnips, plantains, potatoes, pumpkin, squash, peas, corn)  Most fruits (except for certain fruits such as dried fruits, bananas, and grapes)  Whole grains, such as steel cut oats, bran, whole-grain pasta, barley, bulgur, brown rice, quinoa  Don't limit your fiber.  Instead, subtract it off the total carbohydrates (per serving size) on the Nutrition label.  Fiber is not digested and actually prevents blood sugar spikes, resulting in better control of blood sugar levels. Although once thought to be the source of heart disease, the healthy fats found in avocados, coconut oil, grass-fed beef and free-range chickens are now known to be good sources of fuel. They can help to stabilize blood sugar and reduce your food cravings.  Always avoid trans-fats, as these are the bad fats. The omega-3 fatty acids found in cold water fish such as tuna and salmon may decrease your risk of type 2 diabetes. Eat one to two servings of fish per week. If you currently smoke, quit. Smokers are 30 – 40% more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than people who don't smoke, and your risk of developing type 2 diabetes increases the more you smoke. Smoking also creates serious complications for people who already have diabetes. If you have type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes, your doctor may recommend medication in addition to lifestyle changes. However, you cannot rely on medication alone to manage the disease. It must be used to support the major changes caused by your lifestyle changes. These medications are taken in pill form, and reduce blood sugar throughout the course of the day. Examples include Metformin (biguanides), sulfonylureas, Meglitinides, Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors and combination pills. This is really the only effective treatment for type 1, though it can also be used for type 2 and gestational diabetes. There are four different types of insulin available for this treatment. Your physician will decide which will be most effective in controlling your blood sugar. You may take just one, or use a combination of types at different times of the day. Your doctor may also recommend an insulin pump to maintain your insulin levels 24 hours a day.   Rapid acting insulin is taken before meals, and often in combination with long acting insulin. Short acting insulin is taken about 30 minutes before meals, and usually in combination with longer acting insulin. Intermediate acting insulin is usually taken twice a day, and lowers glucose when the short or rapid acting insulin stops working. Long acting insulin can be used to cover the time when the rapid and short acting insulin stops working. There are some new medications that can help lower blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. One type of medicine, called an SGLT inhibitor, helps your kidneys get rid of extra glucose from the blood and send it out in your urine. Examples of SGLT inhibitors include Canagliflozin (Invokana) and Dapagliflozin (Farxiga). Ask your doctor if these drugs are right for you.

article: Put 3/4 cup (187 g) of yellow mustard, 1/2 cup (170 g) of honey, 1⁄4 cup (59 ml) of apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons (30 g) of ketchup, 1 tablespoon (12.5 g) of brown sugar, 2 teaspoons (9.9 ml) of Worcestershire sauce, and 1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) of hot sauce into a mixing bowl or storage container. Use a spoon or a whisk to thoroughly combine the barbecue sauce. Ensure that the sugar and sauces are completely incorporated. Break up any lumps of brown sugar. Cover the bowl or put the sauce into an airtight storage container. Put the sauce in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 day before you use it. For longer storage, refrigerate the sauce for up to 2 weeks.

article:
This catapult design project is used to teach engineering skills to children.  It builds a slightly more complex torsion catapult than the previous methods, but requires just a few additional supplies and steps.  10 standard (4.5") craft sticks 1 jumbo (6") craft stick 1 drinking straw 1 6" length of wooden dowel, with a small enough diameter to fit through the straw 1 elastic band Glue gun and glue stick 1 milk jug lid or large bottle cap Ammunition! Ping pong balls and grapes both work well with this catapult project. These will hold the dowel/straw fulcrum that will support the throwing arm.  Add a dab of glue 1/2" from the top of a craft stick, and attach another stick to it at approximately a 30 degree angle.  Create a second upright that is the mirror image of the first. Place a dab of hot glue on each of the bottom legs of the first upright, and attach a craft stick connecting the two so that the vertical portion of the upright attaches to the end of the base.  Repeat this process with the second upright.  Then use hot glue to attach one additional craft stick to the front of each of the uprights. The base should now form a rectangle with one end open, and the two uprights sticking up parallel to one another. Cut a 2" length of straw and slide the dowel through it.  Use hot glue on to attach the dowel firmly to the wedge formed at top of the each upright. First loop an elastic band around the craft stick that connects the two uprights.  Then glue the large craft stick to the straw so that about 1/2" hangs below the straw. Finally, carefully attach the other end of the rubber band near the bottom of the large craft stick.  The throwing arm should now be able to rotate freely around the dowel on the straw, and the elastic band will put tension on the throwing arm as you pull it back. To create a strong bond with the throwing arm, use a pencil or other tool to press the elastic band firmly into the hot glue, and hold it  for a few seconds until the glue cools. Do not use your fingers or you will burn yourself! Your catapult is nearly ready to go, but a few more steps will make it sturdier and easier to use!  Attach the milk jug lid to the free end of the throwing arm with a dab of hot glue. Attach one additional craft stick horizontally to connect the slanted sides of the two uprights and provide additional stability. Add additional craft sticks to the bottom of the catapult that out as needed to keep the machine stable while firing. Load a ping pong ball or grape into the milk jug lid.  Pull back the throwing arm and let fly!
