My afternoon CS class got me off topic. I’m starting to teach the kiddos about buying computers. I like to do it in little chunks, and today I was showing off my convertible notebook. Later in the week I’ll show off the MacMini.
Anyway, I ended up showing them my continuous glucose monitor. One of my students asked “is your diabetes so bad that you need that?”.
My answer: “I’m so much into data that having it makes it easier for me to keep my blood sugar where I want it and not only do I feel better, but I’m a better teacher”.
Guess what? She’s hispanic, overweight and diabetic. Doesn’t take insulin. Betting you that she’s a Type 2.
Maybe she’ll learn something.
