Type 1 Diabetes In Nursery Schools

Type 1 diabetes, is an incurable but treatable disease which can occur at any age but is mostly found in children due to the high levels of glucose in the blood (Eckman 2011). Juvenile diabetes affects about 1 in every 400-600 children and more than 13,000 are diagnosed yearly (Couch 2008). Type 1 Diabetes means your blood glucose, or blood sugar, is too high. With Type 1 diabetes, your pancreas does not make insulin. Insulin is a hormone, which helps glucose gets into your cells to provide energy. Without insulin, too much glucose stays in your blood. Over time, high blood glucose can lead to serious problems with your heart, eyes, kidneys, nerves, gums and teeth (American Diabetes Association). Previous research has suggested proper

The growth of type one diabetes has been increasing over the past decades. The rise of this disease could be contributed to many factors such as, environmental factors, hereditary, lifestyle choices, and etc. The United States and Finland are rated among some of the highest counties experiencing high growth of type one diabetes. Children of the age range anywhere from ages one to sixteen have been contributing to the increase of type one diabetes within the United States and Finland.

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

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

Diabetes is a disease that can be devastating to some families, but it is not that bad as it seems. With the correct amount of exercise and moderation, it can be maintained with several different methods. A large part of the United States population has a form of diabetes. Today, there are many treatments that improve the lives of those living with this disease. With the correct understanding, it can be manageable and change the lives of the diabetic and his/her family. Some people may think of this as a bad thing for children to have but with the proper management and exercise, it can be maintained as well as bring a family closer to one another. As a brother of a type 1 diabetic, I know how hard it is to live with it and how to

Often, people think of the children first when there is a paediatric diagnosis of Type I diabetes; however, families are affected to a great extent when learning management of the disease. To explore this issue further I developed a PICOT question: “how do families of children with newly diagnosed Type I diabetes adjust to accommodate to this long-term chronic illness in their daily lives?” I searched the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) using various research strategies to find evidence to support my question. First, I created my search terms; “children with newly diagnosed diabetes” and “family coping.” I paired them with the Boolean operator “AND”, hoping to narrow my results. I found that this narrowed

In the article, Types 1 Diabetes, WebMD goes into detail concerning Type 1 Diabetes. It first goes briefly into explaining Type 1’s problem, the damage that has been done on the pancreas; as a result it no long can make insulin. In addition, Type 1 is discussed as a contemporary issue concerning the consequences of the absence of insulin. Typically, it is a genetic predisposition and children are the targeted demographic. This autoimmune disease, strikes about 5% of children before the age of 16. It includes various categories of blood vessel damage, such as diabetic retinopathy, neuropathy, and nephropathy. More importantly, it mentions an increased risk of heart disease and stroke. It then demystifies what insulin’s primary function; by explaining its role in helping move sugar into the human body’s tissues. Because

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

Type 1 diabetes is a place in the insulin-producing pancreatic β cells are gradually destroyed, and ultimately can not produce insulin autoimmune diseases. Type 1 accounts for all US diagnosis from 5% to 10% of diabetes, and is a world growing from about 3% per year. Although it is most commonly diagnosed in children and adolescents, it is not uncommon to be diagnosed later in life adults. Type 1 diabetes in adulthood may be slowly after diagnosis - the progress of diabetic called latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) form, or type 1.5

Field trips and excursions are advantageous for concreting concepts learned in the classroom for student bodies. However, they can be very stressful for children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. In comparison to schools, public places are even fewer supportive environments for type 1 diabetes. According to an article by Edwards, Noyes, Lowes, Have Spencer, & Gregory (2014), many parents were required to be present on field trips and excursions that would allow for type 1 diabetes patients to participate in them. In some instances, children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes were not allowed to participate in them because the teachers were not educated in diabetes support to cater for their needs. If inclusion was supported by the schools,

Type 1 diabetes is one of the most common chronic health conditions known in childhood (Marks, Wilson, Crisp, 2013). The majority of these children attend school and the appropriate diabetes care in necessary for the child’s safety and long term wellbeing. A Diabetes health care plan should be in place and all involved should know what needs to be done. Depending on the age of the student will depend on monitoring the student. At a young age children may not always notice the signs at a teenager will be able to tell if they need to check their blood levels. If a student receives their insulin by shots, this procedure is normally performed by a nurse, unless the student is older and is able to provide the necessary procedure. With using needles,

When the body does not produce any insulin, this is type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is known by multiple other names, including T1DM (type 1 diabetes mellitus), insulin-dependent diabetes, juvenile diabetes, and early-onset diabetes. Type 1 diabetes accounts for almost 10% of all diabetes cases, making it considerably less common than type 2 diabetes ("What is Diabetes"). However, an estimated 1 in 600 North American children under the age of 12 are affected by type 1 diabetes. Like type 2 diabetes, type 1 diabetes can also be controlled with changes to the average lifestyle (Schmitt, et al.).

Across America there are a large number of children who wake up every morning with the challenge of navigating another day with Type 1 Diabetes. According to the Boston Children’s Hospital website, type 1 diabetes (commonly called juvenile diabetes) is “an autoimmune disease- more specifically, a disorder of carbohydrate metabolism- in which the immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas (called beta cells).” In this paper, we will highlight how this disease affects many aspects of their daily lives as well as their interpersonal relationships. Type 1 diabetes affects all types of children from various backgrounds. There are risk factors involved, current investigations into treatment taking place,

The website that was selected is the official website for the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD). The purpose of this website is to provide information on ISPAD, events held by ISPAD, guidelines developed by ISPAD, allow members to access information and provide links on useful information relating to pediatric and adolescent diabetes. Google search engine was used to locate the website using the key words adolescent diabetes and pediatric diabetes. The website uses a .org domain. The website was selected largely due to my interest in pediatric diabetes. This interest informed my choice of the keywords and the selection of this website. The uniform resource locator for the website is http://www.ispad.org/ .

During the week that we spend at camp I hope that I will have a better understanding of Diabetes and how kids are dealing and coping with it. Sometimes we forget that when an illness happens in adults it is totally different on how it affects children so sometimes kids get ignored more often. So I hope this week will give me a better insight into what it is like for a child with diabetes day to day. My fear going into this week is that I won’t be able to tell when a kid is having a low blood sugar or a high one. I know what signs to look out for but I don’t have a lot of experience with this in kids. Kids are different on they present than adults so the fear is not recognizing it fast enough to get help for the child. What I think that I will contribute to the camp team is that I will be able to help with recognizing signs more quickly of hypo and hyperglycemia even though I still need some work. I think this will be beneficial because there may be members of the team that are less experienced so having someone that has at least seen this once will help.
