London, Ont. biology teacher Chris Schramek turned his personal diabetes journey into a real-life lesson for students, showcasing a glucose sensor during class to educate about the condition. The lesson, held on June 18, 2026, aimed to provide students with a practical understanding of diabetes and how it is managed. Schramek, who lives with diabetes, used his own experience to engage students and demonstrate the importance of monitoring blood sugar levels. The glucose sensor, a device that tracks glucose levels in real time, became a focal point of the lesson, allowing students to see how technology aids in managing chronic conditions. Schramek emphasized the value of real-world applications in biology education, noting that students responded positively to the hands-on approach. The lesson was part of a broader effort to make science relevant to everyday life, with Schramek hoping to inspire students to consider careers in healthcare or biomedical research.
