| Dr. Lee and Annie |
Team 6-4 was excited to have a visit from Annie's Mom to talk about her work as a endocrinologist. Dr. Lee shared her early work volunteering in hospitals and science labs and her years of study that led to her work in this challenging field. Then, she explained that Annie had not eaten and showed the class how to test her blood sugar.

As she explained what her day to day work was like, Annie ate a breakfast loaded with sugar. Then, she tested Annie's blood sugar again, and we saw how it went up to an unhealthy level. Dr. Lee explained how these swings in blood sugar puts a strain on the body systems that could lead to diabetes and other health problems. Hopefully, we all learned a great lesson about eating in a healthy way!
