Read the articles on Cardiovascular Disease and Type 2 diabetes. Also – read at least one story of a real woman facing Cardiovascular/heart disease (https://www.goredforwomen.org/en/about-heart-disease-in- women/real-women) and/or a real person diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes (https://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes-real-life-stories.html).

Tell the story about one of the individuals that you read about – use your own words. Describe why you picked this particular individual to write about.

Give your personal definition of prevention and treatment. Also, explain the difference between the two. How did the readings and stories in this week’s readings align with or alter your understanding of prevention and treatment?

Did the story you highlighted teach you anything new about the prevention and treatment of heart disease complications (and/or diabetes)?

How might you personally focus on prevention in the future?
