Diabetes Management and Insulin Administration
Summary of Teaching Plan

In recent years, an increase in demand for expansion of education programs for diabetes patients as also for Federal Government or third party payers to support these programs has been observed. A survey by Veterans Administration Hospital conducted a survey to evaluate the capability of patient for diabetes management reported lack of formal training in over 35% of patients interviewed (Miller, Goldstein & Nicolaisen, 1978, p. 275). Therefore, some recommendations for training patients to administer insulin therapy, which reflect best practices, are as follows:

• The therapy should be initiated after a thorough patient assessment, including numeracy skills and health literacy. Therapy initiation should be followed by follow-up phone calls.

• Treatment adherence should be measured during follow-up visits to recognize adherence issues, changing barriers or other problems due to poor recall of instructions etc. Injection practice should also be observed and re-trained, if required.

apid Critical Appraisal Checklists for Diabetes Management
The study searches several electronic database to enhance a greater understanding on the database management. First, the paper searches the database of the Cochrane Library to emphasize the importance of database management. The search strategy is by using the EPPI-Centre register using the standard keywords that include Diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes, Diabetes Management, Glucose Management, Blood Sugar Level, Body Mass Index, and Physical Exercise. The paper also carries out a systematic search in the bibliographic database that include Diabetes care journals, MEDLINE, and PUBMED. The search is also supplemented with hand searching of clinical journals. The study also conducts a limited literature search on key database resources from the Cochrane library, PubMed, Internet, University Library, and Ebscohost nursing resources. The study does not carry out a filter to limit the research retrieval by type. Moreover, the search is limited to document written in English….

The management of diabetes in older adults is a complex and critical aspect of geriatric care that requires an understanding of the unique challenges and considerations posed by aging. Age has a significant impact on diabetes management, wherein older adults often face various obstacles that can affect their ability to manage their disease effectively (Sinclair et al., 2012). As the global population ages, the prevalence of diabetes in older individuals is increasing, making it imperative to address the specific needs of this age group (Strain et al., 2018).
One of the primary factors influencing diabetes management in older adults is the presence of age-related physiological changes. As individuals age, they undergo various alterations in their body composition, such as decreased lean body mass and increased adiposity, which can affect insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism (Kirkman et al., 2012). Additionally, aging is often accompanied by a decline in pancreatic beta-cell function, further….

gather the outcome data is a mix of self-reporting on the part of the patients with respect to their ability to follow the guidelines and training provided, and testing on the physical outcomes. The testing will be done by the participating medical practitioners in this survey. This is consistent with the need to have some hard data that can be measured in a consistent manner. Statistics with respect to patient blood sugar levels and other health indicators are commonly used to gauge the health of the patients. With something like Type II diabetes, a patient that effectively manages his/her disease may not see any noticeable deterioration in health over a six-month time period, which would allow for the measurement to accurately test what impact this education and training has on patient outcomes.
Self-reporting is the only reasonable way for the participants to explain the degree to which they followed the….

Diabetes
The author of this brief report has been asked to create a hypothetical care and patient situation and answer some questions about the same. To that end, the author will discuss and analyze the needs, care and other details for a 74-year-old patient with type II diabetes. A peer reviewed source shall be used and some of the questions that shall be addressed are the nutritional needs of the patient, the physical and cognitive state of the patient, the condition the patient is suffering from and its genesis and the strategies that can be used to improve the quality of life of the patient and/or diminishing the effects of the disease or disorder. While type II diabetes can be managed fairly or very well in many people, the challenges that inherently affect the elderly can also be a hindrance to managing diabetes.

Analysis

As noted in the introduction to this report,….

Mobile technology, disease management is the wave of the future, not only for diabetes care but for other health related issues and needs. If an individual can recognize the daily stressors they place upon their bodies, with regard to their disease management and overall health the system could likely greatly impact care systems and services, as well as assist individuals with knowledge and information that may not have been available to them in the past.

Teaching Proposal on Diabetes
In recent years, an increase in demand for expansion of education programs for diabetes patients has been observed and for Federal Government or third party payers to support these programs. A survey by Veterans Administration Hospital evaluating the capability of patient for diabetes management, reported lack of formal training in over 35% of patients interviewed (Miller, Goldstein & Nicolaisen, 1978, p. 275). Similarly, accomplishing proper management of self-administration of insulin also continues to be a critical concern. Therefore, an educator needs to set appropriate and reasonable, specific, mutually agreed goals; and should remain sensitive to individual fears and anxieties while setting these goals.

Project Narrative

Introduction

Diabetes education is a lifetime learning process, which is developed and modified as per the requirements of people afflicted with diabetes. However, assessment of these requirements is time-taking, still vital for customizing diabetes education. Thus, to determine one's educational requirements and recognize his current….

Lee is only the first step in the process of building a team that is able to cover all aspects of Mrs. Lee's care. The team approach involving a social worker, nurse, physician, pharmacist, and physical therapist affords Mrs. Lee a full range of professionals attending to her various needs.
Although Mrs. Lee has a number of problems that need to be addressed the one problem that must be addressed immediately is her elevated blood pressure. Hypertension is an important risk factor for the development and worsening of many complications of diabetes and an elevated blood pressure is like walking around with a detonated bomb. Within moments, and with little warning, a diabetic patient can suffer a stroke or heart attack as a result of an elevated blood pressure. Well over fifty percent of diabetics suffer from hypertension and proper treatment of hypertension can minimize most of the tangential problems….

However, advancements in pharmacogenetics promises new and better ways of managing diabetes. Studies have shown that Lisofylline, an anti-inflammatory compound is very effective in suppressing the autoimmune activity and in improving the islet secretion of insulin. Mice studies showed significant difference (25% vs. 91.6%) in the onset of diabetes among Lisofylline treated mice compared to placebo mice. Reduction of inflammatory cytokines IFN-? And TNF-? levels correlated with reduction in ss cell apoptosis. [Yang et.al, 2003] Recent study by Lipsett et.al (2007) has shown that Islet Neogenesis-Associated Protein (INGAP) is useful as a pancreatic regeneration agent. Successful tests in mice and regeneration of cultured human pancreatic cells have encouraged the researchers to seriously consider INGAP as an effective agent for improving insulin synthesis. [Lipsett et.al, (2007)]
A recent Cornell University study focused on an entirely different approach to diabetes management. The researchers examined the possibility of recombinant Commensal bacteria engineered to….

Diabetes Education

Diabetes is considered to be a chronic disease which really needs some kind of long-term nursing and medical intermediations. esearch shows that patients likewise need to take a part that is active in their own treatment and management, and the alter their lifestyles in order to keep their metabolic state at a level that is normal (Sperl-Hillen, 2010). One of the transformations in education is recognized as being electronic learning. This technique is interesting because it has all of these unique features which users are interested in using, and has made it possible to learn anywhere. It facilitates individual as well as group learning, and makes it conceivable to familiarize the material as stated by the users' needs. However, in the last 10 years, it has been very obvious that the Internet has turned out to be a very rich source of healthcare….

Diabetes is one of the major non-communicable diseases today. In the U.S., approximately 9% of the general population have diagnosed or undiagnosed diabetes, with a further 37% estimated to be pre-diabetic (CDC, 2016). The disease increasingly imposes a significant morbidity, economic, mortality, and psychological burden on individuals, families, communities, healthcare organizations, as well as the government. This paper discusses a number of issues relating to diabetes. These include: past and present funding initiatives; past and present quality initiatives; the relationship between diabetes care quality and healthcare coverage; and diabetes care in the U.S. and UK.
Funding Initiatives

In the U.S., initiatives aimed at preventing diabetes are funded by both the government and private entities. Public funding is executed through the Division of Diabetes Translation (DDT), a unit of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (CDC, 2016). DDT funds health departments at the state and local government level in support of….

Clinical Problem: Diabetes Mellitus in Rural Settings
Mid-range nursing theories can be extremely useful in understanding specific clinical issues. These theories are less broad and all-encompassing than so-called grand theories of nursing such as Jean Watson’s Theory of Human Caring and seek to offer a more technical and practical approach to applying theory in daily practice (Alligood, 2018). This paper will specifically examine the application of Kristen Swanson’s Theory of Caring to the treatment of patients suffering from diabetes mellitus living in rural settings without adequate access to healthcare. Virtually all nursing theories are composed of four essential core definitions, that of person, environment, health, and nursing itself. Swanson’s theory, however, specifically focuses on nursing, which Swanson defines as a very specific type of caring.

African-Americans and Diabetes
Diabetes in the African-American Adult Population

Diabetes is a serious public health issue, and often seen in the African-American adult population. According to the CDC, African-Americans are twice as likely to have type II diabetes as Caucasians (Diabetes, 2011). This is highly significant, since 90 to 95% of new diabetes cases each year are type II (Diabetes, 2011). There are several reasons for these cases, and genetics is one of them. Additionally, people can develop type II diabetes from obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, age, and poor eating habits. In order to thoroughly address the issue, it is important to look at what African-Americans know and do not know about diabetes, and how they handle the disease if they do develop it or are told they are at risk for developing it. Many of them have pre-diabetes, and can avoid the disease if they are conscientious regarding the choices they….

Osteomyelitis in the Diabetic Patient
Management OF OSTEOMYELITIS IN THE DIABETIC PATIENT

Osteomyelitis is an infection of the bone or bone marrow which is typically categorized as acute, subacute or chronic.1 It is characteristically defined according to the basis of the causative organism (pyogenic bacteria or mycobacteria) and the route, duration and physical location of the infection site.2 Infection modes usually take one of three forms: direct bone contamination from an open fracture, puncture wound, bone surgery, total joint replacement, or traumatic injury; extension of a soft tissue infection such as a vascular ulcer; or hematogenous (blood borne) spread from other infected areas of the body such as the tonsils, teeth or the upper respiratory system.2(p807) Bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, Salmonella, and Escherichia coli are the most common causative agents of the disease, although viruses, parasites and fungi may also lead to the development of osteomyelitis.3

Age can have a significant impact on diabetes management in older adults due to various physiological and psychosocial factors.

Physiologically, as individuals age, their body's ability to regulate blood sugar levels may decrease. This can make it more challenging for older adults to control their diabetes and maintain stable blood glucose levels. Additionally, older adults may be more prone to other age-related health issues such as cognitive impairment or mobility issues, which can make it difficult for them to consistently monitor and manage their diabetes.

Psychosocially, older adults may also face unique challenges when it comes to diabetes management. For example,....
