Health education and knowledge plays a vital role in improving patient’s quality and longevity of life. Regardless of one’s profession education should be a part of the job to promote health and disease prevention. According to Snyderman (2014): Nearly 20% of Medicare beneficiaries discharged from hospitals are rehospitalized within 30 days, and 34% are rehospitalized within 90 days. For patients with conditions like CHF, the rate of readmission within 30 days reaches 25%. The estimated cost for

To understand why this happens it helps to understand how the body usually works. When you eat, your body breaks down your food into simpler forms such as glucose. The glucose goes into your

Jones’s background as a nurse and education expert qualifies her to investigate this research topic, which sits at the intersection of nursing and teaching.

The cells use the glucose for energy. Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, helps move the glucose from bloodstream to the cells. The pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus further explains the concept on how this disease works. Pancreas plays an important role of the metabolism of glucose by means of secreting the hormones insulin and glucagon. These hormones where then secreted by Islets of Langerhans directly to the blood. Inadequate secretion of insulin results on impaired metabolism of glucose
