With interests in both medicine and weightlifting, I understand that nutrition is essential to both. As a result, I hope to further educate my underserved community about nutrition and prevent disease, such as type II diabetes.

Why Type II Diabetes?

This is a great place to tell your story and give people more insight into who you are, what you do, and why it’s all about you.

As residents of the San Bernandino/ Riverside Area, we noticed the alarming amount of prediabetic/diabetic cases around us. This health project gives us the opportunity to raise awareness of the reality of this condition and how to best manage it. We want to ease the burdens of those that have to live with more caution than others, whether it is with resources or fun easy cooking videos. As undergraduate university students, we aim to learn and educate about the basic management of Type II Diabetes.
