Based on the article there was no methods or design used. The strengths to this article is it leads the reader to understand the complications of Type 2 Diabetes and to why it’s really important to treat individuals with Type 2 Diabetes. The population includes everyone who is diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes.

America is a melting pot of immigrants. First, the pilgrims, the Italians, the Polish came to America for opportunity. More recently, people from the Philippines, Syria, and Mexico have emigrated from their homes for a better future. Latinos are the largest minority in the US-making up more than 13.7% of total population. Type 2 Diabetes and its complications are a major health concern all over the world. Some racial and ethnic populations are more at risk for this disease. Type II Diabetes is well known as one of the most preventable diseases in modern times. The focus of this research paper is to determine why Latinx children are at an increased risk for Type II diabetes, compared to their peers. In order to understand the complexity of

Adult-Onset Diabetes, also known as Type 2 diabetes, is a condition that affects the metabolizing of sugar within your body; this is one of the body’s most important sources for fuel so it is crucial for the function to work or for you to be in control of the condition. The disease is most common in adults, but it is becoming more common in children because of the increase in childhood obesity in America and across the World. (Staff, Mayo Clinic 2016) Beginning in the 1990’s investigators began to observe that in some regions of the United States, Type 2 diabetes is as frequent as Type 1 diabetes mellitus in children and teens. Type 2 diabetes is a serious and costly disease. There are many chronic complications that can arise, including

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been reported with increased frequency over the last twenty years in adolescents and children in the United States. As a result of T2DM glucose metabolism within the body of affected adolescents and children is severely compromised. Formerly known as adult onset and/or insulin resistant diabetes T2DM occurs due to the cell inability to properly use insulin which then results in lowered secretion of insulin as well as insulin resistance. Proactive steps if taken during pre-diabetic stages in the form of increased activity, dietary changes, weight reduction, and use of medicinal intervention in order to increase sensitivity to insulin and decrease production of glucose helps

The setting is a community health center at the St. Joseph Health Center in Jamaica, Queens, New York. This is a community health center in a low-income area of New York. The center deals with patients with a variety of medical diagnoses. Diabetes is one of diseases that affect 24 million Americans, and it is believe that 57 million more are at risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes. This is one of the important diseases with which the center deals. In Jamaica, Queens, more than 11% of adults have diabetes, which means that one in ten adults is a diabetic. It is also important to note that at this center, doctors are volunteers, but despite this fact, the staff is committed to disease prevention and awareness. .

Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects millions of Americans. There are only two types of it. Type one is the most serious type. It is caused by the body's inability to produce enough insulin. Type two is developed when the body can't efficiently use the insulin that is available to absorb sugar into the cells. So the sugar builds up in the body. Usually, type two diabetes is more common in adults, but there has been a sudden increase in the amount of children that are developing it. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) isn't sure why it is happening though. This article will discuss a few of the key areas that research has pinpointed as contributors to the problem.

From there I went onto the Google search engine and typed in type I diabetes in children. Out of the many, the site that I chose to use was the Kids Health website. The information that was provided on the site was up to date and easy to follow and it answered the many questions I had about diabetes. This is the only source that I had evaluated because it was not a peer-reviewed journal. To evaluate my source I had used the “Questions for Web Source Evaluation” worksheet that was e-mailed to me by my professor. This

The information throughout the report was easy to follow and appeared transparent. The layout does demonstrate the way in which the researcher intends to go about the study – the advantage of this being the results and data analysis are streamlined and easy to comprehend and analyze. Descriptions of the methods, findings, and interpretations were sufficiently rich and vivid and helps to enhance the validity of the data. The direct quotations transcribed from recordings of study participants ensures an insightful view into what it is like to be a child with type 1 diabetes mellitus. After reading the article, one can tell the researcher is a credible source. The choice of methods, data analysis, and general layout of the article reveals an experienced researcher. The findings appear trustworthy. The method of data collection from interviews seems mostly reliable if the recordings of the subjects are made available. The evidence gathered can definitely be applied by health care providers in assisting the children with their feelings, emotions, and stressors associated with type 1 diabetes mellitus, and how to provide excellent care to their young

By the end of the 20th century the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in children had increased dramatically. Type II diabetes was once believed to be a disease of the overweight, middle age person however, the incidence of type 2 diabetes is increasing quickly in children and adolescents not only in the United States but around the world.

The cardinal sign and symptoms of diabetes are increase thirst, hunger, fatigue, increase urination, and blurred vision. However, the symptoms unique to women are: vaginal and oral yeast infections and vaginal thrush, urinary infections, female sexual dysfunction, and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) (ADA, 20169. The criteria for diagnosis of diabetes are: Hemoglobin A1C is greater than 6.5%, fasting plasma glucose greater than 126 mg/dl, 2-hr plasma glucose greater than or equal to 200 mg/dl or a random plasma glucose greater or equal to 200 mg/dl with symptoms polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, and unexplained weight loss. Many patients can manage their diabetes by exercising, maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding smoking cigarettes, and a healthy diet (ADA, 2016). As a NP student, it is important to know the most current information on diabetes and the appropriate websites to obtain the information from like Up-To-Date, American Diabetes Association, and mobile APPs that make visits more effective is point-of-care education such as: iMedicalApps (http://www.imedicalapps.com/), Epocrates (http://www.epocrates.com, and MedscapeMobile (http://www.medscape.com/public/iphone). These websites and mobile apps makes it easier to review potential diagnosis, give pointers on appropriate education, and management of the disease. The NP student may also find these websites beneficial to use or have

There are 29,000 children in the United Kingdom suffering from Type One Diabetes. How would you feel if your child was one of those many sufferers? Perhaps your child is how much of an impact has it created upon your family? You are always wondering why us. The answer is unknown that is the most frustrating thing. In this essay I am going to tell you all about the charity Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation known as JDRF for short, why they are such a great charity, what they do and how fundraising can help them with their research.

Diabetes is one of the most discussed and debated chronic disease amongst many conditions in the category, and has been studied extensively. This is undoubtedly related to just how common diabetes is. In fact, in 2013, according to the IDF Diabetes Atlas (2013), 382 million individuals had diabetes, around 6% of the roughly 7 billion world population. Amongst those, about 80% live in low to middle income countries (IDF, 2013). Considering that those countries form the majority of the world and that they encompass a majority of diabetics, we can notice a very wide spread pattern of diabetes in the world. These high numbers are not stagnant, to boot, with 592 million diabetes patients expected in 2035 (IDF, 2013),

Juvenile Diabetes is a disease that more and more children are getting each day and it affect about 0.1 percent of children that are school age. There are two types of diabetes that are common in children. The first one is type one diabetes and the second one is type two diabetes. There are major health problems associated with type one including troubles physically, a multidisciplinary approach by physician, nurse and dietitian is needed to treat juvenile diabetes. In patients with new onset type 1 diabetes, lifelong insulin therapy must be started. As a chronic disease diabetes mellitus requires long term medical attention both to limit the development of its devastating physical and psychological complications and to manage them when they do occur. As for the ADA (American Diabetes Association) Diabetes Mellitus is a disproportionately expensive disease; I read that in 2002, the per capita cost of health care was $13,243 for people with diabetes, while it was $2,560 for those without diabetes. As of now there is no cure for Juvenile Diabetes but there is ongoing research to test medications and new products to find a cure for Juvenile Diabetes. There are however many coping methods, support groups, counseling, insulin injections and pumps that children with juvenile diabetes make a part of their everyday lives.

Diabetes mellitus has risen to epidemic proportions in the United States, from 1980 through 2011, the number of adults with diabetes has increased immensely from 5.5 million to 19.6 million (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], n.d.). Diabetes global prevalence research by Wild, Roglic, Green, Sicree, and King (2004) predicted that, the total number of people with diabetes will rise from 171 million in 2000 to 366 million in 2030. Diabetes has many causative factors that encompass genetic, lifestyle, and environmental categories. Diabetes can vary in different individuals in correlation with their surrounding population and environmental exposures. Individuals who manage their diabetes often need specific plans and counseling.

Before the study was done, the researchers needed to have a significant understanding of diabetes mellitus: How a patient could obtain this disease, and how to actually diagnose this disease and not mistake it for type 1 diabetes. They obtained other
