| I am 12 years old and if i'm not doing school work, I am playing sports. I have type one diabetes and have always been looking for a way to make living with diabetes easier. This is my first science fair and it was the perfect chance to make an innovation for diabetes. I did a lot of engineering and programming in my project and became very interested in programming. I plan to continue coding in the future and keep trying to help solve problems related to diabetes. |

T1D Mouthguard
| Défi: | Innovation | | Catégorie: | Junior | | Région: | Frontenac, Lennox & Addington | | Ville: | Kingston, ON | | École: | Calvin Park P.S. | | Sommaire: | Type 1 diabetics have to monitor and treat blood glucose levels at night before dangerous health effects occur. Current devices fail to effectively wake patients. An innovative mouthguard composed of a microprocessor, vibration motor and sensor would help diabetics by continuously monitoring bg and waking the patient. This prototype of a medical device would limit the harmful impacts of diabetes on the lives of patients. |
