lifestyles are linked to the early onset of type 2 diabetes. There are many new programs being

Type II diabetes is a disease that affects millions of people in the United States and is also a disease that is continually growing in numbers. The cost of the individual and national health care systems is also a number that is growing. Policy for prevention of diabetes and pre-diabetes is something that while has changed some in the past, has been basically the same for the past 20-25 yeas. This disease affects many throughout the country, but effects those in the middle and lower classes due to the cost of eating healthier being greater than the alternative and also due to the fact that these groups are less likely to go for routine health care.

In order to combat the epidemic of type 2 diabetes in America, a series of subsidies and social programs promoting and mandating nutrition and exercise for weight loss should be created with the trillion dollar budget. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes in America is rising and has doubled over the last 30 years to 23 million (Campbell). Currently, it costs the nation about $90 billion a year to treat the complications of type 2 diabetes (Hoerger). Added with the co-morbidities of type 2 diabetes, namely cardiovascular disease, obesity, and kidney failure, it becomes apparent that drastic measures are needed. In order to combat this epidemic, the U.S. Congress is proposing to use a trillion dollars to do whatever it takes to reduce the

It is evident that diabetes has become a real problem something must be done about it. People must start taking care of themselves by eating right and being physically active and healthy if they don’t have diabetes or seeking professional assistance as soon as possible if they already have diabetes. I also believe that government and big organizations need to increase awareness about this dangerous disease and what must be done to avoid

We can and must prevent the preventable. The human and financial cost of not intervening will be far greater than the cost of intervening” (International Diabetes Federation, 2016). Basically, diabetes is preventable, it is one’s own will to have courage to fight and with the help of supporters there is no excuse in overcoming this disease. Diabetics are not alone, the American Diabetes Association provides planning meals, awareness programs, food recipes, the understanding of carbohydrates and many more supportive plans. In order to obtain a healthy lifestyle with no complications of any type of disease, it is important to dedicate at least an hour a day to physical activity. The famous writer Lieberman once said, “There’s no medicine that’s more important than exercise. Analyzes have shown, exercising is one of the most important medicines for the diabetic soul, keeping sugar and blood levels at a normal rate. In addition, carefully selecting portions of food that are consume daily. The disease itself is killing many different individuals despite economic statuses. Those who have the education and means usually take it for granted, when people in lower income countries inquire the access to reliable resources. Type II Diabetes impacts negatively on many facets of global development and economic sustainability. So it is crucial that this disease is be put in the forefront so that the global burden of Type II Diabetes be

In this report the focus will be the nutritional aspects of Type 2 Diabetes, although physical activity is a vital attribute to Type 2 Diabetes it will not be the main focus. This report will determine the modifiable and

The effects of diabetes are nothing less than devastating. It is a disease that is affected by interdependent genetic, social, economic, cultural, and historic factors (CDC, 2011a). In the United States, nearly 26 million Americans are living with diabetes, and another 79 million Americans have prediabetes (CDC, 2011a). Diabetes has been associated with reducing the quality of life of people with the disease, and it also has a tremendous economic burden on our health care system. In 2007, diabetes and its complication accounted for $218 billion in direct and indirect costs in 2007 alone (Dall, et al., 2010).

This paper explores the chronic illness Type 2 diabetes. An overview of the impacts of the disease and the population at risk s provided. As a mechanism to control and assist in the prevention of the disease an education based program called Day 1 Diabetes Prevention is proposed. Such a program would target young people that are old enough to understand the consequences of the disease but still young enough to adopt positive health practices. It is considered that through such action, the number of cases of Type 2 diabetes can be significantly decreased over time as the positive health message is absorbed, understood and applied. Such an outcome will be to the befit of individuals potentially affected as well as society as a whole.

Interventions used in treatment of type 2 diabetes should be those that improve the probability that the patient will have better long term control of diabetes. It is therefore imperative that early diagnosis is given fast priority especially when metabolic abnormalities of diabetes are less severe. Lifestyle interventions are key in containing type 2 diabetes. It is common knowledge that sedentary lifestyle and over nutrition which lead to obesity and overweight increase the risk of type 2 diabetes (Peters & Davidson, 1996). Interventions that reverse or improve these factors have beneficial effects on control of glycemia in established type 2 diabetes.

With obesity being the leading cause of type two diabetes, this is very worrying. In 2011/12 almost two in three adults were overweight or obese. One in 20 adults also had diabetes. (AIHW, 2016). The digital age has had a large impact on the risk of developing diabetes. With new technology being invented almost every day, the amount of physical activity people are doing is decreasing and the amount of snacking is increasing. The risk of developing type two diabetes is increased by having an unhealthy lifestyle. Some of the factors which may contribute to an unhealthy lifestyle may consist of low

Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes which affects 90% to 95% of the population. In the United States, approximately 1.7 million new cases of diabetes were identified in 2012 and the disease affects 29 million Americans, or 9.3 percent of the population (Statistics About Diabetes, 2014). In 2012, the total financial burden of diabetes was estimated to be $245 billion which included $176 billion in direct medical costs and $69 billion in reduced productivity (American Diabetes Association, 2013). Those who have type 2 diabetes are unable to control insulin levels resulting in a condition called insulin resistance. In the first stages of the disease your body attempts to

Additional Questions to be Answered: 1. Why is Type 2 Diabetes an issue in our Community

My teaching on primary prevention of type II diabetes adheres to HP2020 objectives D-1 to D-16 on diabetes, specifically objective D-1 that deals with reducing the annual number of new cases of diagnosed diabetes in the population. (Target is a 10% improvement from the baseline of 8.0 new cases of diabetes per 1,000 population aged 18 to 84 years occurred in the past 12 months to the target of 7.2 new cases per 1,000 population aged 18 to 84 years). Education on the preventive measures needed to be taken by an at-risk population tackles this issue of reducing the annual number of cases.

Diabetes influences around 29.1 million Americans, and with such a high pervasiveness the vast majority contemplates everything about the illness. For instance, you most likely know diabetes is a condition that affects blood sugar. You also know eating routine and exercise are fundamental for appropriate administration. You may even know about diabetes manifestations, including unreasonable thirst, foggy vision and the powerlessness to heal sores and wounds.

Within the teaching plan it is important to incorporate all the aspects of Type 2 Diabetes prevention. To know the history of Type 2 Diabetes it is vital that everyone in the community knows the past struggles of this condition and the efforts that have been made to treat and prevent Type 2 Diabetes. In like matter, the inclusion of Type 2 Diabetes overview is presented, which includes the process of the pancreas that release’s insulin to the bloodstream to help decrease blood sugar levels. Overtime the increased blood sugar levels lead to other health complications, such as eye, kidneys, nerves, and heart problems. Moreover, the presentation presents with the risk factors to Type 2 Diabetes, which includes family history of diabetes, being overweight, unhealthy diet, physical
