The reason behind my research question

I wanted to choose a research topic that had to do with my life and personal experiences. My topic is: How can I educate others on the different types of diabetes and how they affect the human body and pancreas? Also what is diabetes and what is the difference between type 1 and type 2?
I wanted to explain to others how you live with it and the difference between type one and type two. Most people do not understand what it really is and I feel they should be informed.
I've had type 1 diabetes since I was five years old. Most people think because I'm diabetic I can't have sweets, Which isn't the case. Type 1 diabetics lead normal lives and can do anything a person without it can.
In science, diabetes might be considered a disability or a disease. In my opinion, it's just something I have to deal with every day. It's like doing your homework, or brushing your teeth. You have to take care of certain things every day, diabetes is just one of them.
