The article’s main point is to explain a diabetes diet and how to obtain insulin from certain foods. It gives examples of good foods to eat, as well as foods to avoid. The website gives further information on the importance of the diet as well as creating a meal plan to follow. The source concludes its information by stating the results of the diet which include, of course, maintaining diabetes, as well as lessening ones risk for cardiovascular disease. In my essay, I plan to use this information to inform readers on the importance of insulin intake, from a diabetics stand point. I hope readers understand how important it is for a diabetic to maintain a healthy diet, considering their condition.

The author’s main point in this article is to give the reader information on what an insulin pump is, how it is used, and what it is used for. The author further explains the different types of insulin pumps there are. The article ends by stating the advantages and disadvantages that come with using these tools. I feel as if I can inform readers on the different ways to obtain insulin. I would like others to understand that maintaining a healthy diet is not the only way a diabetic can obtain insulin. I feel as if everyone should have a broad understanding of this topic.
