Type II Diabetes Mellitus: An Emerging Epidemic Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by inadequate insulin secretion by the pancreas or cellular destruction leading to an insulin deficiency. Depending on the cause of the insulin shortage, diabetes can be subcategorized into type I and type II. Type I diabetes (T1DM) is usually mediated by the destruction of b-cells in the pancreas resulting in decreased insulin production and secretion. Type II diabetes (T2DM) is the
According to the American Diabetes Association there is an individual who is diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes every twenty-three seconds (American Diabetes Association, 2014). The highest prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes is among the Hispanic population, accounting to 16.9 percent, compared to 10.2 percent among non-Hispanics (American Diabetes Association, 2014). This rise of Type 2 Diabetes among the Hispanic culture can be due to many factors that include lack of education, language barrier, socioeconomic
TREATMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF DIABETES Reversing type 2 diabetes Now, it is possible to reverse the diabetes. We can reverse the diabetes through the use of healthy diet and workout. Healthy diet and exercise, maintain the health of diabetic patient and attempt to maintain the level of blood sugar. Type 2 diabetes cure As far as the cure of diabetes concern, there's no cure for diabetes. The handling of diabetes aims to keep your blood sugar levels as normal as therapeutically possible. The other aims
STUDENT E Report- Type 2 diabetes Introduction- Type 2 diabetes is becoming a major issue as it is emerging fast and the raise of people diagnosed with diabetes is increasing rapidly. Unless appropriate action is taken, it is predicted that there will be at least 350 million people in the world with type 2 diabetes by the year 2030, this is double the current number. This is an issue because if it isn’t helped someone with diabetes will have a high risk of having heart stroke, lung failure and
The Importance of Exercise with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Today, type 2 diabetes mellitus is becoming more and more of a health issue for millions of people across the globe (Nadeau & Iyer, 2014). It is projected that, by 2025, over 300 million people in the world will have type-2 diabetes (Waryasz & McDermott, 2008). Type-2 diabetes is a condition in which the body builds up resistance to insulin meaning that the glucose in the blood cannot be effectively taken in by the insulin. This occurrence
Diabetes mellitus type 2 is an endocrine disorder that causes impaired use of carbohydrates while enhancing the use of proteins and lipids. This is called insulin resistance, in which the pancreas cannot make enough insulin to keep blood glucose levels normal, or the body is unable to use what is produced. The impairment causes blood glucose level to rise higher than normal. There is no cure for type 2 diabetes mellitus and it is life threatening when left untreated. Signs and symptoms of this
How could people know that they have type 2 diabetes? If someone have type 2 Diabetes the person will be able to tell that when they have an increased urination, excessive thirst it means that if they have to urinate frequently, particularly if they often have to get up at night to use the bathroom (ref). Losing weight and overly high blood sugar level can also cause rapid weight loss e.g. 10 – 20 pounds over two or three months, but it is not a healthy weight loss because the insulin hormone stops
Hope for Reversing Type 2 Diabetes For thousands of people living with Type 2 Diabetes receiving treatment is taunting. Type 2 Diabetes is an incurable disease that effects the lives of many people daily. The number of sufferers alone are depressing and the realization that modern day medicine has no cure for the disease isn’t at all hopeful. The message to this overwhelmed faction is reminded repeatedly, you can only maintain your type 2 diabetes. However, a recent study provided results that
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most common chronic illnesses nationwide, impacting approximately 29.1 million Americans. DM poses as a significant public health concern as its’ prevalence steadily increases diabetes poses as an enormous public health challenge because it steadily increases every year (ADA, 2014). The more common type of diabetes is type 2 which is the progressive failure of pancreatic beta cells. Type 2 diabetes leads to hyperglycemia and insulinopenia. Well over 90% of patients
Diabetes is a chronic disease with the ability to be fatal to an individual. Diabetes occurs when the pancreas cannot produce insulin for the body. There are over 1 million people living with diabetes in Australia, with thousands of new diagnoses every year. (Shaw, 2012) There are two main types of diabetes; Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes. The most common is Type 2 diabetes, establishing almost 90% of all diabetes incidents. (Diabetes Australia, n.d.) Type 1 diabetes is diagnosed at young ages
get diabetes when cells in the body are unable to respond to insulin or the production of insulin is impaired leading to poor metabolism of glucose in the bloodstream. The result is high amounts of glucose in the blood which is the cause of major diabetes symptoms such as reduced healing ability, chronic fatigue, excess thirst and urination, blurred vision, and weight loss. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that as of 2015, a third of Americans were living with diabetes or
Evidence-Based Practice Nationally, Type II Diabetes has increased to epidemic proportions. In 2010, it was the seventh leading cause of death in the United States. According to the National Diabetes Statistics Report of 2014, “29.1 million people or 9.3% of the US population have diabetes, with 8.1 million of them being undiagnosed.”1 In addition, the comorbidity conditions associated with diabetes include: high blood pressure, high LDL cholesterol, heart disease/stroke, blindness/eye problems,
The Effectiveness of Patient Education in the Management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), Diabetes Mellitus continues to rise in the United States with almost 30 million children and adults having diabetes. Approximately 90-95% of those diagnosed are diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. (ADA, 2014) The need for further patient education by medical-surgical nurses has increased due to the rising number of diabetic patients. Glucose control is important
Diabetes Type 2 Diabetes is a disease that is represented by high levels in blood sugar. This results from defects within the insulin and how it works. Diabetes is a disease that affects every country in the world and is a lifelong illness. Diabetes affects on average 28,000,000 or more people in the United States alone. The causes of diabetes appear to be the same everywhere: weight, race, genetics, age, blood pressure. If you develop gestational diabetes while you are pregnant, there is a risk
and 8.3% of the population, have diabetes.” Stated in WebMD. This shows how common diabetes is, and how it affects our lives today. A common disease that is confused is diabetes Type 1 and type 2. Type 1 is a lack of insulin and Type 2 is too little insulin or the body doesn’t make enough. Type 2 can be prevented, but Type 1 is genetic. There is generally no cure for Type 1 diabetes, but there are some treatments for Type 2. Both types of diabetes greatly increase a person's risk
diagnosis? Explain the epidemiology and pathophysiology of the disease. Patient has diabetes mellitus type 2. Epidemiology in adults, type 2 diabetes accounts for about 90 to 95 percent of all diagnosed cases of diabetes. Over the past three decades, the number of people with diabetes mellitus has more than doubled globally. Type 2 diabetes could be prevented by healthy lifestyle change. Pathophysiology for type 2 diabetes is when the body either produces inadequate amounts of insulin to meet the demands
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the ways in which a person can prevent the progression of pre-diabetes into Type II Diabetes. Through proper diet including a reduced amount of calories per meal, decreased amounts of saturated fat and refined sugar, and implementation of portion control, one can significantly reduce body weight and BMI. By engaging in PA as few as three times and as many as six times per week, one can decrease their cholesterol, weight, blood pressure, and increase HDL levels
Diabetes mellitus is an abnormality in the regulation of the blood glucose and the storage of nutrients evidence by the resistance to the actions of the insulin or an absolute deficiency of insulin. Diabetes mellitus is classified into four clinical classes. Included are type 1 DM and type 2 DM. Other categories comprehend gestational diabetes mellitus and other specific types of diabetes and these can occur secondary to other conditions. The insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome is a problem
Diabetes is a diseases with many different types, all with no cure. Type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes are the most common types. Diabetes is a disease that affects your pancreas and the insulin making process. There are many similarities between type 1 and type 2, but there are also many differences. Diabetes first encounter was in 1552 B.C. when Hesy-Ra complained of excessive urination, from then on research about diabetes has been more frequent and the treatment has been discovered. Type 1 and
Introduction Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most common diseases with a high incidence and prevalence throughout the world. It affects nearly 4% of the world's population and this percentage will supposedly be increasing up to 5.4% by year 2025 (Chaudhary et al., 2012). Among diabetic patients a high prevalence of coronary heart disease is observed at a relatively young age. Thus, risk factors for atherosclerosis must be defined and avoided in patients with diabetes mellitus. Abnormality
