The Prevalence Of Diabetes Mellitus

According to Zimmet (2001), about 150 million people in the world have been suffering with diabetes and it would be 300 million by 2025. Another interesting study by AusDiab in 2000 revelead that 7.4% of the population aged 25 or over had diabetes (type 2 in 90%) Since 1981, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes has increased to twice in and the total number of cases has increased threefold in Australia (Dunstain 2002).Although type 2 diabetes is effecting all races,it was identified highly in south Asians and also worlds one-third diabetic population is from indian continent ( Jean 2008). According to the report from Centre for Disease Control and Prevention in United states of America, nearly 25.8 million people have been affected by diabetes in 2010 with 90- 95% of them being type 2 DM (CDC 2011). However, type 2 diabetes mellitus which is characterized by the deficiency and resistance of the

Diabetes mellitus has a worldwide prevalence of 8.3 percent of the population with the amount of new cases diagnosed per year

Diabetes is a growing problem in the Hispanic population. In fact, according to Duggan et al. (2014) “Hispanics have a greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes.” Hispanics also have a greater chance of experiencing complications due to not obtaining regular medical checkups and not monitoring their glucose levels (Duggan et al., 2014). As the problem continues to increase there have been many interventions created to help prevent diabetes among the Hispanic population. One of these interventions is training community health workers (promotores de salud) to help educate on disease prevention and promote a healthy lifestyle. Promotores de salud, according to Cruz, Hernandez-Lane, Cohello, and Bautista (2013), are “one of the most

Diabetes is a problem that is expanding across the nation due to various factors that may be avoided such as bad eating habits, lack of exercise and education. These components can all be reversed, which will result to a diabetic free life. According to Diabetes Research Institute, “the most common form of diabetes is called type 2, or non-insulin dependent diabetes”. People with type 2 are able to produce some of their own insulin, yet often, it’s not enough (Diabetes Research Institute, 2016). Diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death in the United States and effects over 23.6 million people (Healthy People, 2014).

In the United States People 65 years or older has diabetes, and the aging in general population is significant for diabetes become epidemic, diabetes not limited to impact the elderly from working also has the highest mortality rate. In addition elderly with diabetes has hither risk for chronic heart disease and kidney disease (Sure Kirkman, 2012). The number of cases of diabetes type 2 in the United States increase with the increase of age. In 2007 and 2008 national survey data showed “diabetes was 18% higher among Asian Americans, 66% higher among Hispanics, and 77% higher

“In 2010, an estimated 25.8 million people in the United States had diabetes mellitus, of which approximately 1 million have type 1 diabetes and most of the rest have type 2 diabetes ” (Papadakis et al., 2014) That means that in 2010 about 24.8 million people suffered from type 2 diabetes. Diabetes mellitus is impaired insulin secretion and variable degrees or peripheral insulin resistance leading to hyperglycemia (Porter, Kaplan, 2011). Type II diabetes has become more prevalent in the United States due to the decrease in physical activity, the increase in obesity rates, and also the predisposition of genetic factors. In this paper I am going to cover description of history and the disease, etiology, signs and

The main goal of this analysis is to examine the trends of type 2 diabetes during 14 years and the effort of federal, state, local authority in the prevention of the condition, which is fundamental to avoid complications from type 2 diabetes, such as damage in the eyes, kidney, nerves, sexual problems, double the risks of heart attack and stroke, cancer, eating disorder, foot problems, joint and bone, brain conditions, oral health, pregnancy related complications and skin issues (Geiss, L; MacKeever, K.; Brinks, R.; Hoyer, A. & Gregg, E, 2014). The data used from 1999 -2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey on non-pregnant adult (aged 18 years) non reporting diagnosis of diabetes. The research measured case detention as the provability of finding undiagnosed type 2 diabetes among gender, race/ethnicity, education, poverty-income ratio (PIR). According with the data colleting during the study which suggested that detention of underdiagnosed type 2 diabetes among adults did not increase in the USA from 1999 to 2014. Those finding stand in contract to the impression that the medical field is not doing a good job (Geiss, L.; MacKeever, K.; Brinks, R.; Hoyer, A.; & Gregg, E. 2014).

The fundamental goal of effective diabetes management is for the patient to select behaviors that maintain glycemic homeostasis. Thus the goal of this study is to help the patient select optimal behaviors. To do this we must be able to learn how a patient’s choices affect blood glucose. So our task is mainly to collect the data from the people first about their choices of food, their general behavior and their habits and routine. We need to go in the depth of finding the reasons for the disease itself. We also studied from the care providers perspective. This should be able to provide detailed and accurate data about the patient, increase interaction

The Hispanic population in terms of health issues are at high risk for developing diabetes mellitus, tuberculosis, hypertension, HIV/AIDS, alcoholism, cirrhosis, and death from violence, (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, "Leading Causes of Death," www.cdc.gov/men/lcod/index.htm).

People with diabetes in the family are two to six times more likely to have diabetes than people without diabetes in the family.

Data mining for healthcare is useful in evaluating the effectiveness of medical treatments and it is interdisciplinary field of study that has its roots in databases statistics machine learning and data visualization. Diabetic disease refers to the heart disease that develops in persons with diabetes. The term diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin. The cardiovascular disease is class of diseases that involves the heart or blood vessels Even though many data mining classification techniques exist for the prediction of heart disease there is insufficient data for the prediction of heart diseases in a diabetic individual. The main objective focus on this research is to find an optimal

The number of people who are getting affected by diabetes is increasing alarmingly. Perhaps, only by imparting knowledge and education among people, this trend can be arrested. The problem with diabetes is that it can lead to many other terrible health complications like heart ailments, kidney problems, obesity and so on.

medical college. the subject were taken from the diabetes OPD ,medicine OPD and those who were admitted to wards.the study included 100 patients with type 2 diabetes detected within 4 months .the study was conducted from 2015-2016.

According to Harris, Bhattacharyya, Dyck, Hayward, and Toth (2013), “National survey data have consistently shown that the national age-adjusted prevalence of diabetes is 3 to 5 times higher in First Nations than in the general population” (Introduction section, para. 1). Gestational diabetes mellitus is just one of the many types of diabetes Aboriginal people are faced with. It is a type of diabetes that occurs during pregnancy; when your body is unable to produce an adequate amount of insulin to cope with fluctuating hormones and a growing baby (Harris, Bhattacharyya, Dyck, Hayward, & Toth, 2013). Although gestational diabetes mellitus (GMD) is seen throughout Canada, the cases are much higher in the countries’ Aboriginal population

The prevalence of diabetes in America continues to grow. Information gathered from The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) acknowledge that in the United States, one out of every eleven people has been diagnosed with diabetes and that one out of every four people are diabetic but not aware of it. Research has also shown that the medical costs and lost wages for those who have been diagnosed with diabetes is greater than two hundred billion dollars and that the mortality rate for diabetics is fifty percent higher than non-diabetics (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2014). These alarming statistics show the increased need for essential education concerning the pathophysiology of diabetes as well as the treatment, benefits of diet, exercise, and what to do when something goes awry. This need was the determining factor for using diabetes education for the Health Information Technology (HIT) project.
