¶ … Daneman's "Treating hypoglycemia in children with diabetes: a simple game of "skittles." This article explores original research (based on empirical evidence) regarding the most effective means of raising the blood sugar level in diabetics. It considers this research for a very specific population, children who are afflicted with type 1 diabetes. The results of the research described within this article yield clinical findings with a minimal amount of ambiguity. As such, they are able to provide a substantial amount of insight into the practice of nursing for this population and prove that non-traditional sources of sugar are better than natural sugar for preventing -- or even correcting -- episodes of hypoglycemia within the identified population group.
This article provides a fairly detailed review of research conducted by Husband et al. within the same issue of the publication in which Daneman (2015) is writing. The goal of that research was to identify a readily accessible means of assisting children with hypoglycemia. The research primarily focused on three different types of sugar which are associated with increasing or decreasing blood sugar levels as needed. These include fructose, glucose, and surose. What is interesting about these three sugar types is that fructose has traditionally been considered the most preferable type of sugar since it is found in abundance in...
Therefore, the researchers tested its effect on children with hypoglycemia alongside the other two forms of sugar, which are typically discouraged because they are associated with artificial foods such as candy and other forms of adulterated nutrients readily available today.
The nature of the research performed was fairly straightforward. The researchers were able to monitor the number of low-blood sugar level events which occurred to a population of children in approximately 15 weeks. Based on those events, they determined the effect produced by the treatment options. Glucose was administered in the form of tablets while the candy Skittles served as the means of delivering the subjects surose. Fructose was administered in the form of Fruit to Go (Daneman, 2010, p. 150). As previously mentioned those treatment options included the three different types of sugar. However, there were some questions regarding the method which arose in the way the researchers conducted their empirical evidence. When treating children with glucose, for instance, the researchers used different amounts based on the subjects attempt to satisfy any sort of hunger at the time. One must wonder if the results would have been…

Familial and social support were shown to serve two very different yet highly similar roles in the lives of children and adolescents in a way that enables them to become more resilient to the negative effects of bullying, correcting and combating the emotional effects of bullying and providing greater overall self-esteem and self-confidence (Bowes et al. 2010; McGrath et al. 2009). The family support is instrumental in creating basic emotional

Children and Television Television may be an almost universal feature on the domestic scene, however it is not sued I the same way by everyone who has access to a set (Gunter 1).

Evidence-Based Practice Motor Learning The purpose of this paper is to discuss current theories, concepts and research involving Motor Learning. The research provides evidence-based information discussing how humans utilize motor-learning throughout the lifespan. The discussion includes stages of motor learning, practice contexts, feedback and use of imagery in motor learning. Also provided is information concerning how people learn who have disabilities resulting from at least two different conditions, Parkinson's which affects motor
