Community based Screening of type 2 diabetes mellitus
The diabetes menace in the US is rampant and a national concern for the health agencies particularly rearing the high rates of new diabetes cases that emerge each year. It is estimated that by 1958, only 1% of the American population were diabetic, this has tremendously shot up to the estimated 9.4% by 2015. This number includes 30.2 million adults of 18 years and over. Of even greater concern in this evaluation or screening process is that nearly a quarter of the individuals with this condition do not know that they have it (Murrel D., 2018). This informs the screening initiative with the sole aim of increasing the number of screened individuals, hence awareness of their diabetes status.
Conceptual model
The screening is projected to have a long term effect of the participants knowing their predisposition to the cardiovascular complications since blood pressure measurement is an important predictor of cardiovascular complications in people with type 2 diabetes. This screening exercise will therefore take the form of blood pressure (BP) measurement among adults with no symptoms of type 2 diabetes mellitus or evidence of possible complications of diabetes. This is the baseline presumptive screening that will be done before a second tier of test is resorted to, depending on the results of the first test. From the results of the BP measurement, if the adult is found with BP > 135/80 mm Hg, whether it is treated or untreated, the individual will then be further screened for diabetes. The reason as to why the screening targets type 2diabetes is that statistics indicate 90 to 95% of the diabetes cases in the USA are type 2 diabetes (Sinnot S., et.al, 2017). This makes it the most likely diabetes type to be identified and most bothersome...
The screening seeks to have a positive impact to the community within which it will be conducted hence the choice of type 2 diabetes.
Screening purpose
The screening will be community based and will be conducted in a community based activity where both the elderly and the young members of the community congregate. The purposes of the screening exercise if to both share critical information on diabetes as well as to sensitize members of the community on the possible links between diabetes and the cardiovascular heart diseases. It is noted that diabetes often occurs in people with hypertension, a factor that increases the risk of stroke and heart attack (Barhum L., 2017). It is also as screening that will be done at a basic level with the minimum medical appliances and provisions as can be easily carried to the field where other activities are taking place. This is to further educate the community that the screening of type two diabetes is not necessarily an intrusive and complex process. The screening will specifically target the Hispanic population since it is estimated that they account for one of the highest rates of diabetes, in California, where the screening will take place, it is estimated that 10.4% of the Hispanics therein are diabetic (Cordero M. Z., 2010). This is a population that would benefit from frequent seeing exercises as a continuous attempt to sensitize victims of DM and also help them initiate treatment and management of the condition as early as is possible.
Population
The population targeted for this screening exercise is the adult, over 18 years old participants who will attend the annual sports festival of Southern California. This is an annual event that brings thousands of people from all age groups and races to interact in…

According to Zoller, scholars and/or practitioners proponents of workplace health promotion (WHP) generally assume that employees universally welcome the programs. Perhaps, the primary delimitation that could be contributed to health and wellness programs would be that one of the other would not be wanted by employees. Consequently, health promotion literature that deems the programs to be "pro-social" endeavors designed in employees' best interests frequently fail to engage employees' participation. Additional delimitations
Being overweight is also known to contribute to asthma. (Bravata, et al., 2007) III. Obesity and High Cholesterol Overweight or obesity is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease leading to heart attack. Obesity is known to: (1) raise blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels; (2) lower 'HDL' or 'good' cholesterol; (3) raises blood pressure levels; (4) induce diabetes and heightens the risk of heart attack.

Diabetes Among Middle Age Males: One of the major public health issues among middle age males is diabetes since they are twice as likely to suffer from the disease as compared to their female counterparts. Generally, the rate of diabetes has increased in the recent past to an extent that 8% of the American population have the disease, especially children and adults. The main reason for the increase of the rate
Diabetes Management Diabetes mellitus is one of the non-communicable diseases that have continued to be in the forefront of public health challenges. Diabetes occurs when the body system is unable to produce sufficient insulin. Typically, insulin is a hormone secreted from the beta cell within the pancreases that regulates the blood sugar as well as assisting in conversion of glucose into energy. Diabetes occurs when there is high level of glucose
