  1. Great blog! You guys did awesome. I really like the tabs on the top to keep in organized and easy to navigate. You guys used great visuals and videos throughout the blog. Excellent job!!! If I have to recommend something I would say some info seemed to be targeted at children/adolescents and not elderly but I think the resources were great and very helpful for any age group. I loved it!

  2. Critique- very nice blog. I liked the overall visual appearance of the blog and this had some great information. I enjoyed the quizzes throughout the blog and the visuals/videos that you utilized. Great job with crediting sources and working through all the information. I would agree with the comment above in that there was a lot of information targeted toward a younger audience, but this is a disease that attacks any age group and the information really was appropriate for any age. Great Job!

I loved your interactive quizes. It made the website very engaging. The tabs also helped make it feel engaging and interactive.

    Yup, old people can have diabetes

  4. Defeat Diabetes group,

    Excellent job. Great use of visuals and videos and it was obviously very well organized and put together. I think the targeted audience will have no problem maneuvering their way through this sight and getting answers to their questions. I especially liked your tab about Diabetes Education. It offered great videos, a quiz (great idea!) and classes. An original and creative idea; I liked it. Honestly, my only critique would be taking the “about me” section off the sidebar (although I think that picture is pretty cute). Great job group!
