Case Study : Diabetes Mellitus Type 2

Background and Significance: The prevalence of type II diabetes mellitus is increasing in the United States (U.S.) and was estimated to affect 29.1 million Americans in 2012. By the year 2050, it is estimated that one in three U.S. adults will have type II diabetes mellitus. Long-term complications of type II diabetes mellitus include increased morbidity and mortality as a result of macrovascular and microvascular complications such as diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy, neuropathy, and cardiovascular

Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 (DM2) is the mayor cause of mortality in the US. Hispanic women are at major risk of being diagnosed with DM2. The aim of this research is to employ the social ecological model (SEM) as a framework to find out individual and social environmental factors associated with physical activity (PA) interventions for Hispanic women diagnosed with DM2. Individual and social environmental factors influence behavior change, and the SEM is a valuable method for examining the factors

based on diet, exercise, and drug therapy. The rise in obesity has led to an increase in the prevalence of obesity-related illnesses such as Type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and obstructive sleep apnea (Buchwald et al., 2004) which have been associated with a decrease in overall life expectancy. The conventional therapy for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is weight loss (Ikramuddin et al., 2013), however, the Look AHEAD

Diabetes has been portrayed as an epidemic affecting an expected 104 million individuals around the world. Diabetes is not only a typical chronic ailment as well as it meets all 3 criteria for a public health disease (Cockram, 2000). The objective of the clinical administration of all types of diabetes is to control metabolic disorders related to diabetes without adversely affecting the quality of life (Renders, et al. 2000). The research study is focused on management of diabetes mellitus in Asian

Emergency Admissions for Diabetes in Dammam, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Introduction Diabetes mellitus has been identified as a major health problem in Saudi Arabia associated with the adoption of modern lifestyle that promotes poor eating and sedentary exercise habits (Elhadd, Al-Amoudi, and Alzahrani 2007). The indigenous Saudi Arabian population may also have a genetic predisposition to type II diabetes that is related to consanguinity. A review by Alqurashi, Aljabri, and Bokhari (2011) found that

Being overweight significantly increases the chances of developing a common type of diabetes, type 2 diabetes. In humans, type 2 diabetes is a relative insulin deficiency that causes the cells in the body to develop a resistance to insulin. Insulin, a hormone produced in the pancreatic islet beta cells, helps move sugars into the cell that can later be used as fuel. The deficiency occurs when the functions of the beta cells are damaged. Insulin is unable to be detected because the insulin receptors

Moreover, indigenous Saudi Arabia population has a genetic predisposition to type II diabetes that is complicated by consanguinity. According to Khalid et al.

Factors Affecting Prevalence and Treatment Outcomes of Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Rwanda Introduction Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic condition in which the pancreas no longer produces enough Insulin (impaired insulin secretion) or cells stop responding to the insulin that is produced (insulin resistance) resulting in increased blood glucose (“Endocrine System.” Internal Medicine Clinical Treatment Guidelines. Republic of Rwanda Ministry of Health, 2012 ). Symptoms

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic dysfunctional metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels (Hyperglycemia). Currently, the causes of this disease may be an inadequate amount of insulin produced by the pancreas, cells in the body are resistant to insulin, and the pancreas producing less insulin than average. There are two main types of diabetes: Type I and Type II. Primary care physicians and endocrinologistendocrinologists can provide guidelines on diseases and treatment
