Take Home Project : Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes Type 2 1.Diabetes is considered a life style disease because it is not something you were born with it is something you bring upon yourself, stress, don't enough exercise, eating too much of the wrong foods, pregnancy or family history cause this particular disease. 2. Type 2 diabetes, or non-insulin-dependent diabetes, is the most common form of diabetes. It effects the respiratory system In Type 2 diabetes, either the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells neglect the insulin. Insulin is needed for the body to be able to use sugar.

The sample for this study consisted of 222 participants who were second year psychology students from the University of Newcastle. All students were participating as part of a course requirement and all had given their consent to participating in the study.

In reviewing the literature for interventions to help adult individuals work toward preventing or delaying the onset of diabetes many types of interventions have been researched. One intervention performed by Dearinger, et al (2013) attempted to create an education program for educators in the communities at the health department level. Dearinger, et al (2013) found that any type of education given to individuals can help them to better manage their disease. Furthermore, having better access to other preventative measures can better aid members of the community in managing their diabetes and also preventing the onset.

As an endemic health problem in the United States, diabetes affects everyone either directly or indirectly. In Alachua County, there has been a steady increase of preventable diabetic related hospitalizations as well as an increase of forty percent death rate (Alachua County Community Health Profile, 2012). Diabetes education is needed not only for those with diabetes but those that are indirectly affected. This can include relatives, friends, and/or teachers. With the aim of preventing or maintaining this disease, it is important to have education classes to increase public awareness. Education is an important tool for day to day self-management of diabetes. People with diabetes have extensive learning needs. These needs focus on managing

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.

A study by John Bantel et al (2008) discussed the implications of type two Diabetes on adults of all ages. They examined the intervention of nutrition control and support along with intense physical activity on pre-diabetic patients.

Locally and nationally, Almost 10% of the population has this condition. 1 in every 10 adults could have it. Type 2 diabetes is more common because it is caused by the sugary foods we eat. Most diabetes patients die to other conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, kidney failures, strokes etc., but all of these are complications as a result of diabetes. Indiana’s diabetes rates are higher than average because people in Indiana do not exercise; almost ⅔ of diabetes patients do not get enough. Nationally, the seventh leading cause of death is diabetes. U.S. medical bills for diabetes patients are (on average) 2.3x higher. This means people can not easily treat their condition. In conclusion, diabetes is so common because people are lazy and do not do enough to prevent it. There could be solutions to this problem. One solution could be to mass produce a lot of posters encouraging people to watch their diet and exercise by stating the physical, mental, and financial dangers of diabetes. This could save a few people from the disease, but we know not everyone listens to what they see or hear. Concluding

Participant included in this study were 24 university students (50% females), recruited from introductory psychology and health courses at Edith Cowan University. The age of the participants ranged from 18 to 45 years (M= 30.95; SD= 8.60). The students volunteered when asked by the experimenters during class lectures.

Student number: 1416392 Michelle Cartwright Introduction to health and wellbeing. Type 2 Diabetes. For the health and wellbeing fayre I joined a group of 6.The topic we have chosen to do for our Health Fayre event was Type 2 Diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is a disease which develops when insulin producing cells in the body are unable to produce enough insulin.

This will involve a collaboration with other health care, public health, medical professionals, as well as non-health care professional (like information technology professionals). In addition, having a great support system; family and community is also crucial to addressing this issue. Effective communication will be required in the administration of the three levels of intervention to achieve the much-needed results. These tree levels of intervention will entail tackling diabetes at a population, community and individual level. A brief summary as highlighted by Friis & Sellers (2014) and World Health Organization (2017) is offered

In England alone about three million people have type 2 diabetes. It is nearly four times as common as all types of cancer combined. It is regarded by some experts as the 21st century’s primary public health threat. It accounts for approximately £9bn of the annual NHS spend, and is responsible for more than 20,000 early deaths each

Type 2 Diabetes is rapidly becoming the top health concerns in the United States and a major contributor to health care spending and disability. There are an estimated 22.3 million people
