Chance the Rapper helps get sleeping bag coats to the homeless
The project, called Warmest Winter, comes from a recent partnership between the rapper and Detroit nonprofit the Empowerment Plan. The initiative aims to bring the coats to Chicago by asking donors to help support the manufacturing of the coats. Each coat costs $100 to “sponsor.” The incredible progress they’ve already made will warm your heart.

“ you’re helpful, but can i get someone who has a degree on this or specializes in this?”
 You can’t always get your information from the internet, but there are certain professionals that can help.
Primary Care Physician: Your regular doctor! Someone that you are comfortable with can help you with your introduction to blood monitoring, adjusting your diet, and keeping you in check.
Psychologist: Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. They can help you with the adjustment of your new life. They can provide guidance and tips for you to follow and make sure that you don’t feel alone or deprived.
Nutritionist: We all can’t have personal chefs, but a nutritionist actually helps you to have a diet that fits you and your situation. They sit down with you and give you ideas for a diet, after hearing you out of course.
“ok but can I run away from these problems tho?”
 Yes, exercising will help you avoid long-term symptoms of diabetes. With exercise you can burn down the extra glucose you have. Even with type 1 diabetics, exercising will help with preventing low and high blood sugar levels.These long term symptoms can include amputation of legs or arms. Use it before you loose it. Literally.
“do I really have to check my blood sugar everyday now?”
 Blood monitoring is certainly essential for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Without it ,how would you know if you’re in risk for having a seizure? If you don’t monitor your blood, you are putting yourself at risk and maybe others.
 There are blood sugar monitoring devices that can be used at home and even in traveling sizes. This test can provide on how much you have to change your diet and give you a better understanding as to why you have to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
“so I can’t eat anything good now?”
 Now you’re thinking you can’t anything delicious ever again. That is not the case. Yes, we all love deserts, cereal, and such ,but maintaining your health is more important than that 5-minutes of chocolate goodness. Living with diabetes doesn’t have to be about feeling like you’re missing out.
 Honestly replacing milk with fat-free isn’t much of a hassle but it will take time to get used to. It’s all about substituting your regular diet to your new one.
 Berries and fruits can replace chips that you snack on. Mixing nuts with food you eat can provide the omega you need and help with hunger management. Oatmeal and whole-wheat grain is also a great change in diet from the white wheat bread that doesn’t have any nutrients for the body. Who doesn’t like sushi? Fish can be really beneficial in this diet as well. Tomatoes, beans, and vegetables! Probably the most hated parts of the food-pyramid. These can be put in a salad or you can find more exciting, new dishes to cook! The diet is a major role in maintaining and adjusting to your new lifestyle.
“you had me at hello...”
 Discovering the fact you have diabetes can be overwhelming. Although it is life-altering, it is beneficial to take a more calm approach. As in learning more about diabetes. Other than the generalization of it. Which is people believing that they have diabetes cause they’re fat or eat too many sugary goods. This is not the case.
  Type 1 Diabetes (Yes, there are different types!)
 Type 1 is when a person’s body doesn’t produce insulin. Now, insulin plays a major role in our system because it regulates our glucose levels. The insulin is produced by the pancreas, which then stores the glucose for energy in the cells. Though in the case of a Type 1 diabetic, that is where the problem is. Without glucose you don’t have energy for your body. This usually happens to adolescents.
 Type 2 Diabetes (Most common.)
 This type of diabetes is when the body experiences insulin resistance. This is a condition when the body is resistant to insulin when it trying to regulate blood sugar levels. The condition happens when insulin isn’t effective when transporting glucose to cells. Therefore the pancreas produces more insulin, but the body does not react to it. The glucose builds up in the bloodstream. Furthermore that is why the diabetic has high blood sugar which is also known as hyperglycemia.
