Diabetes mellitus is a group of diseases that result in high blood glucose levels.
Causes of diabetes tend to be a combination of genetic background and environmental factors. How much of a role does genetics play? Each of the five activities in this kit explore a different aspect of diabetes. Students compare a “normal” DNA strand with one that has a mutation known to cause diabetes. They then test solutions with glucose test strips to determine the glucose levels of each, examine the disorder from a Mendelian perspective (pedigrees), workout a diet according to NIDDK guidelines, and investigate techniques used to determine if a person carries the genes for diabetes. Developed by Bill Humphries. Includes instructions. Grades 9–12.
