Type 2 Diabetes: Asymptomatic Analysis

Bckground While modern lifestyles and medical care have certainly improved the longevity of humans in the developed world, and contributed to a greater quality of life scenario, those same lifestyles have engendered a number of issues that contribute to disease. Lack of proper diet, fast food, high fat and carbohydrate diets without adequate fruits and vegetables, lack of exercise, smoking and alcohol contribute to an epidemic of obesity which, in turn, contributes to a serious metabolic disorder called Diabetes Mellitus Type 2. While not managed by insulin injections, it is nevertheless quite serious and has a number of progressing symptoms that, if not treated properly, can result in cardiovascular, renal and neurological problems, as well as amputation, ocular issues, and even cognitive dysfunction.

This essay will focus on type 2 diabetes, which is becoming one of the fast growing chronic health conditions in the United Kingdom (UK). Approximately 700 people are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes each day in the UK (Diabetes Uk, (2014)a). It is costing the NHS about £10billion pounds each year to treat diabetes along with its complication and it is expected to rise in the next couple of years (Diabetes UK, (2014)b).

Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes which affects 90% to 95% of the population. In the United States, approximately 1.7 million new cases of diabetes were identified in 2012 and the disease affects 29 million Americans or 9.3 percent of the population (Statistics About Diabetes, 2014). In 2012, the total financial burden of diabetes was estimated to be $245 billion which included $176 billion in direct medical costs and $69 billion in reduced productivity (American Diabetes Association, 2013). Those who have type 2 diabetes are unable to control insulin levels resulting in a condition called insulin resistance. In the first stages of the disease your body

The life is beautiful, nothing is impossible. This documentary about simple raw reversing diabetes in 30 days. Diabetes is chronic disease and have two types (type one produce very little or no insulin usually accrue in children , type two diabetes don’t produce enough insulin this type common in the females than males).This disease is "major pandemic situation" because 246000 of people had it and 1 out of 3 children born after year 2000 will get it .I learned this information from the documentary and some subjects I had it in this semester. In the beginning I felt bored when I saw this documentary but I enjoyed and interested it later. In the documentary they choose people from different places in America.

Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 (DM2) is the mayor cause of mortality in the US. Hispanic

Type 2 diabetes is a very well known disease throughout the US. There are about 27 million people in the US with the disease and 86 million others have prediabetes which means their blood glucose is not right but also not high enough to be diabetes yet. 208,000 people under the age of twenty have been diagnosed with either Type 1 or 2 Diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a challenging disease process. It requires much work on the behalf of the patient. Patients are required to monitor their glucose levels. Those that must monitor during work hour find it inconvenient. The change in diet is challenging as they must develop new eating habits. At my practicum, classes are offered to teach patients portion control, starch counting, and finding food substitutes. Along with diet, exercise is a key factor in controlling glucose. According to Lumb (2014), low to moderate activity is beneficial in reducing glucose levels. FNPs must meet the challenge of education and medication with diabetics. Patients must be educated about burden and benefits of glycemic control. Medication for

One of the most common causes of food poisoning to date in the United States today is from a group of bacteria, Salmonella (Foodsafety.gov, n.d.). As reported by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention [CDC] (2014), Salmonella causes an estimated 1.2 million illnesses annually leading to 19,000 hospitalizations and a mortality of 380 (CDC, 2014). This cost was reported to be more than $3.7 billion in 2013 (Foodsafety.gov, n.d.)! The two most common kinds of Salmonella in the United States are Salmonella serotype Typhimurium and Salmonella serotype Enteritidis with Salmonellosis more common in the summer months (CDC, 2012).

In this week's reading, the primary goal of screening programs is early detection of diseases in hopes to mitigate or even change the course of the disease or perhaps the treatment course and ultimately reduce mortality(Gordis, 2016). Conversely, early detection screenings may not be advantageous to the patient or ameliorate outcomes; therefore, from an epidemiological and clinical perspective, understanding the influences of disease development is vital (Gordis, 2016). Furthermore, aspects to take into account when analyzing study designs regarding the worthiness of screening programs, particularly nonrandomized trials, are biases such as lead times, length time, selection biases, in addition to overdiagnosis bias ( Gordis, 2016). As we have learned, RCTs are the 'gold standard'; however, executing RCTs on screening vs no screening is challenging due to cost and ethical issues (Gordis, 2016). Additional vital aspects to consider is the validity and reliability of screening tests; therefore, diagnostic accuracy is critical and making sure quality of screenings is important in that the tests are sensitive enough to detect disease during the period in which individuals who do not have symptoms of a particular disease and specific enough to lessen the incidence of false positives (Gates, 2014), which a high percentage of false positive was noted in the Nielen et al. (2009)

Salmonella can pass through the entire food chain from animal feed, primary production, and all the way to households or food-service establishments and institutions (WHO). The great majority of sporadic cases and outbreaks of salmonellosis is caused by contaminated food (Scallan et al., 2011). Apart from the usual suspects like poultry, pork, or egg products, the role of ready-to-eat products is increasingly recognised. This is of particular concern when contamination with Salmonella cannot be excluded and the food is consumed without further heat

Salmonella is a very dangerous disease you can get from eating meat that has not been properly cooked or from unwashed vegetables. To avoid getting salmonella you must properly cook all meat and wash all vegetables. To increase your chances of being safe you need to wash your hands and if you do something that gets them dirty you need to wash them again.

Salmonella is a common rod-shaped bacterial disease that targets the intestinal tract. This bacterium typically lives in animal or human intestinal tracts and is usually shed through feces. Salmonella most commonly infects humans when in direct contact with contaminated food or water. Some of the most common foodborne outbreaks of Salmonella is due to eating raw or undercooked meat, poultry, eggs or egg products; this includes egg shells and water that has not been filtered correctly. Consuming raw or improperly cooked egg/egg products can cause illness in everyone; more so in young children, the elderly and those with compromised immune systems. Typically, people with salmonella infection have no symptoms whatsoever. Others develop diarrhea,

The transmission of Salmonella is primarily oral. “Food is the vehicle of spread.” (Rieman, Hans, and Frank L Bryan) Animals can consume salmonella from the soil or contaminated processed feed. Domestic animals, such as chickens, cattle, pigs, dogs, cats, and especially reptiles, are great carriers for salmonella. On the other hand, humans usually get a Salmonella infection though the ingestion of food contaminated with animal feces or infected animal products. Salmonella bacteria are mostly found in food products such as eggs, meat products, poultry, unpasteurized dairy products, and cheese. (Salmonella Infection) The bacteria can also be found in water and can be spread if consumed. Salmonella present on raw meat and poultry could survive if the product is not cooked to the safe minimum internal temperature, as measured with a food thermometer (Salmonella Infection). Salmonella could also become present on otherwise ready-to-eat foods such as salad through food to food contact or cross-contamination (when contaminated food comes into contact with clean food therefore passing the bacteria and thus infecting said food). Another, rarer form of salmonella, typhoidal salmonella, is carried only by humans and is usually transmitted through direct contact with the fecal matter of an infected person. This kind of salmonella infection can lead to

Common illnesses that can occur are salmonella and trichinosis poisoning resulting from improper handling of chicken, eggs or pork (Jardin, 2009, para.2). Diseases such as: campylobacteriosis, cholera, and listeriosis also make the list of illnesses (Jardin, 2009, para.1). These diseases are the versions of food poisoning, which can be life-threatening. According to the World of Health article published in 2007,
