Type II diabetes prevention through lifestyle and social intervention

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 the theory will be incorporated into the project.

Questions Answered

The theory that will be advanced is that diabetes must be dealt with on both a social/cultural as well as medicine level. While medicine can do a great job in controlling diabetes and preventing it from ravaging people's bodies, the bigger problem is that there are usually bad health habits and lifestyle practices that lead to diabetes being present, at least as it pertains to type II diabetes. Even so, patients of both diabetes types can learn good lessons on how to minimize symptoms, improve their quality of life and prolong their life overall. The theory works to advance the proposed solution as education and people acting on that education will lead to people reducing or even eliminating their symptoms through better living. This will reduce symptoms and negative events and minimize or at least lessen the need for medical intervention and, by extension, expenditures.
