"Hi! My name is Kanisha Harris. I'm 18 and a senior at Briggs High School.
I'm also in my second year of the Legal Office Technology Program at Northeast Career Center.
My best friend is Quiana and we have a lot of fun together. We enjoy going to the movies,
hanging out at the park and participating in each other's extra-curricular activities.
After being diagnosed with Type 2, you must make sure that you check your blood sugar on a regular
basis, eat healthy and exercise. At first, I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to cope with it.
I attended educational classes and I went to a special kind of camp to learn about taking care of myself
with this life-threatening disease. Having diabetes hasn't stopped me from doing anything differently than
my other friends. You can have fun just like everyone else, just make sure that you check your bllod sugar
a few times a day to make sure everything is A-OK! Have fun and be safe!"
Meet Kanisha!
