About Me
My name is Adam Binkley and this is my Genius Hour project. I go to Davie County high school as a sophomore. I based this project off the fact of me being a Type-1 Diabetic. I was diagnosed in March of 2016. This has been a big change in my life but also an experience along the way. Type-1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the insulin producing cells of the pancreas are eliminated or stop working. This also gives this disease the name of insulin dependent diabetes. As a diabetic I have to watch the amount of carbohydrates I eat along with give myself insulin for the amount I eat at a meal. I have a pump called a Minimed 670G which delivers an insulin drip to regulate my normal blood sugar with me having to deliver boluses for what I eat. Even with diabetes I play many sports, baseball and basketball included. This has brought more challenges and lifestyle changes to my life and shaped me into a better person.
