Discussion Between 2001 and 2008, the prevalence of type 1 diabetes remained relatively stable, which is consistent with findings of a recent report based on data from Australia’s National Diabetes Register suggesting that the incidence of type 1 diabetes is increasing among children but not among young adults (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare). In contrast, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes increased by 36% in the adult Australian population, which is consistent with previously reported trends in non-specific diabetes (Atlantis et al., 2009b). On average, the prevalence of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes was 1.3 to 2.4-fold higher for people with psychopathology by any definition (psychological distress, antidepressants and/or anti-anxiety medications) after adjustments for socio-demographic covariates. The absence of a significant interaction across surveys implies that the increased odds of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes in people with psychopathology were consistent over the 8-year period. Furthermore, the increased odds of diabetes, particularly of type 2 diabetes, were partially explained by unhealthy lifestyle behaviors supporting findings and interpretations from previous prospective cohort studies (Atlantis et al., 2010; Chiu et al., 2010; Wilkins and Sambamoorthi, 2011). This suggests that effective lifestyle interventions could help mitigate the persistent excess burden of diabetes and comorbid psychopathology, and that people with type 2 diabetes are likely to benefit more than those with type 1 diabetes. However, lifestyle interventions are difficult to implement in practice (Atlantis et al., 2009a).

This comprehensive study of serial and representative population-based data sources shows that the prevalence of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes was consistently higher for people with psychopathology from 2001 to 2008, which was partially explained by unhealthy lifestyle behaviors, particularly for people with type 2 diabetes. Effective lifestyle interventions could help mitigate the persistent excess burden of diabetes in people with comorbid psychopathology, but these are difficult to implement in practice. Trials are needed to inform policy and decision-making about the organization and delivery of multidisciplinary interventions for psychopathology, diabetes, and unhealthy lifestyle behaviors.
My patient Hannah is a 10 year old 4th grade student who loves volleyball and was just diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus. I’m going to explain to you what her disorder is, the signs and symptoms, causes of this disorder, body changes, economic impact, and how she will manage this disorder especially at such a young age.
Case study: Carol is 17 years old and was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 7 years. Carol has had a recent hospital admission for dehydration and high blood glucose. During the admission Carol was found to be 6 weeks pregnant. Prior to the admission she had been experiencing weight loss and changes in mood.

Uncontrolled Diabetes: Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute (2012, p. 2) stated that Australian Aboriginal and Torrens state Islander people are 3 times more likely to suffer from Diabetes as compared to the Non Indigenous Australian. Overweight and obesity are the leading contributing factors to the uncontrolled Diabetes among Indigenous Australian’s. As per Harrison (2012, p. 449) Lack of physical activity, diet and having impaired glucose regulation contribute to the overweight and obesity. Increase in body weight can leads body to the Insulin resistance. In 2008- 2009 diabetes rapidly increasing among Indigenous adults as 37 percent of adults were overweight and 25 percent were obese. Diabetes is a chronic disease which can leads to so many other complications so it is vitally important to control all the contributing factors to prevent it and to promote healthy life style. Diabetes type 1 is more common in younger people between the age of 15-24 and Type 2 Diabetes i...

Interestingly no significant differences were identified between the experimental and comparison groups in terms of knowledge, adaptation, and program satisfaction. However, diabetes self-care activities significantly improved (p = .02) for the experimental group (p. 316).

Type 1 diabetes, is an incurable but treatable disease which can occur at any age but is mostly found in children due to the high levels of glucose in the blood (Eckman 2011). Juvenile diabetes affects about 1 in every 400-600 children and more than 13,000 are diagnosed yearly (Couch 2008). Type 1 Diabetes means your blood glucose, or blood sugar, is too high. With Type 1 diabetes, your pancreas does not make insulin. Insulin is a hormone, which helps glucose gets into your cells to provide energy. Without insulin, too much glucose stays in your blood. Over time, high blood glucose can lead to serious problems with your heart, eyes, kidneys, nerves, gums and teeth (American Diabetes Association). Previous research has suggested proper insulin management, a balanced diet and exercise will help maintain glycemic control and lessen the chance of complications (Couch 2008).

Mental and behavioural disorders (expressed in disability adjusted life years, or DALY'S) represented 11% of the total disease burden in 1990, and this is likely to rise to 15% by 2020. Five of the 10 leading causes of disability worldwide in 1990 were mental or behavioural disorders. Depression was the fourth largest contributor to the disease burden in 1990 and is expected to rank second after ischaemic heart disease by 2020. It is estimated that one in four people will develop one or more mental or behavioural disorders in their life-time and that one in four families has one member suffering from a mental or behavioural disorder (Murray et al., 1996; WHO,
