You have just been formally diagnosed as having Type I diabetes mellitus, and in this assignment, you will plan your diet/meal pattern to coordinate with your insulin injections and activity schedule. Also, you will prepare a budget for necessary supplies.

Document your daily activity schedule for 1 week. Provide this information in a chart. For activities, include what is applicable for you; for instance, class times, work schedule, exercise or physical activity, sleeping and nap times, fun times, meal and snack times, etc.--anything that will influence when and where you will inject insulin and consume food, or influence your blood glucose levels (e.g. physical activity).
