For my survey I was mainly focused on the preventative stages of management.  This includes regular management for prediabetes, but for type 2 diabetics this only entails the management before insulin therapy.  From my secondary research, I learned that many type 2 paitents end up needing insulin therapy.  Through my survey, I wanted to learn about the methods used to manage diabetes, their difficulty, and maybe find a connection to the reason for needing insulin thereapy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find participants, I posted on multiple facebook groups as well as created posts looking for participants to my survey. The survey itself gathered 98 total responses, with 63 of respondents qualifying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through this survey I learned a lot about what methods and tools are used by patients, as well as their opinions on which of those is effective.  I also learned about patients difficulty in maintaining these methods, as well as motivation levels during management.  I created simple graphs and icons to represent some of the most prevalent data in my poster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>Survey Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>INTRO Hello, my name is Harrison Dodd and I am an Industrial Design student at Ohio State.
