¶ … Diabetes -- Literature Review
It is estimated that nearly five and a half million people, or over a third of the population, have prediabetes in some populations such as the City of New York; diabetes and diabetes-associated cardiovascular diseases have become the leading cause of death in the region accounting for roughly two-thirds of the deaths and the rates of diabetes has lead this trend to be referred to as the diabetes epidemic (Frieden, 2006). The same trends can be found in a greater or lesser extend in most Western nations in the world. Furthermore, there has been a strong correlation between childhood obesity and childhood diseases, such as diabetes, that has now been identified (Dietz & Bellizzi, 1999).
The link between childhood obesity and adult diseases has been the subject of much attention in recent years. Much of the research has considered the programming of adult metabolic processes and disease that have a mechanistic link to the environment in which person develops early in life; it is believed that there is a biological transfer of information that can begin in the postnatal environment (Fernandez-Twinn & Ozanne, 2010). The implications of this are stark for a meaningful intervention to prevent diseases such as type II diabetes. Such research would suggest that prevented...
Furthermore, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are now identified to be closely correlated: diabetes mellitus (DM) has been closely associated with coronary heart disease, and conversely, many patients with established coronary heart disease suffer from diabetes or its pre-states (Lars & Al., 2007).
Early detection of diabetes II can help mitigate many of the consequences of the disease and improve health outcomes. The evidence-based clinical diagnostic tool that has been researched and adopted in many countries is the HbA1c which is used to identify and diagnose as well as monitor type 2 diabetes. It is often the case that patients often do not…

Diabetes According to Waryasz & McDermott (2009), the global prevalence of diabetes among people aged between 20 and 79 rose to 6.4% affecting 285 million people in 2010 and the rate will rise to 7.7% affecting 439 million people by 2030. Amid 2010 and 2030, the rate of individuals with diabetes will increase by 69% in developing nations, and a twenty percent rate in developed nations. In 2011, the number rose
Literature Review for Capstone Project Introduction In the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D), medication adherence is a crucial issue. One of the strategies to ensure medication adherence among T2D patients is nurse-led intervention meant to change the behavior of patients. This study, therefore, seeks to determine how a nurse-led behavior change intervention compares to standard care in patients with T2D in increasing adherence to medication in a period of four months.
Diabetes Literature Review The author of this report has been asked to complete a report in two parts. The first part is a summary of the topic that will be covered. Included in that will be a description of the theory that will be resented, the rationale for the use of the theory presented, a discussion of how the theory works to support the proposed solution and an explanation of how
Diabetes Evidence-Based Practice Diabetes Diabetes is a disease which stays with the patient life-long except in some cases where the diabetes is gestational which occurs during pregnancy and often goes back to normal after the delivery. Typically there are two types of diabetes which are type 1 and type 2 diabetes but less common are gestational diabetes and other types which contain features of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes (Cowle
Diabetes and Pediatric and Dialysis This study's aim was to assess the level of cognition required by nurses to prevent Diabetic Nephropathy (DN). It has been shown that Diabetic affliction leads to build up of DN. Diabetes Type 1 (T1D) and Type 2 (T2D) complications lead to the micro vascular conditions that progress towards Diabetic Nephropathy; this can become life threatening. The growing incidence of both T1D and T2D especially among children
Diabetes A recent study conducted by Okolie et al. determined that diabetes is a current concern to the healthcare industry and that it not only would be a continuing concern for decades to come, but it would also grow in magnitude, especially among the non-developed nations as compared to the developed nations of the world where it is already a more prevalent problem. The researchers wrote that diabetes was of a
