Raven,
Your opening sentence was a good grabber. I can relate alot to your post because i know a lot of people who had diabetes which made me more engaged in the post. I liked how you referred back to your own family history to what you want to do in the future to prevent yourself from getting diabetes. One thing that stood out to me was when you said "When people are diagnosed with an illness their illness becomes them", i thought that was very bold. People become their illness, i never thought of it like that. Overall your post was enjoyable and keep posting!

Michelle,
I thought your blog was very interesting. I like the part where you discussed we as a total don't know what happens behind closed doors in the nursing homes. I like that fact that you kept trying to get deeper and deeper insight on why they would allow to go there, i thought that was cool. I never knew that actually 30% of the ederly and the sick get abused so much. I find that to be very scary and hurtful towards them. Your post was nice to read and i also enjoyed the recording we heard in your elevator speech.

I really enjoyed reading your blog because it was an interesting account of patients in the nursing home. It is true that most patients don’t get enough visitors and I could never imagine being lonely in a nursing home without getting visits from my family and friends. It is also true that we would rather leave someone in the care of a stranger rather than actually taking care of the person yourself. I know that it may be difficult to decide whether to leave a family member in a nursing home but at the end of the day I will probably decide to take care of that family member the same way they took care of me time, and time again. I really enjoyed reading your blog.
