is Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), which is primarily affected by individuals between forty to sixty years of age (Olokoba, Obateru, & Olokoba, 2012). 2. Provide a brief description of the topic. Discuss the magnitude of the problem (e.g., trends in incidence/prevalence, policies, etc.) and its public health significance. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is considered the most common form of diabetes, considering that this form accounts for 90-95% of cases (Simon, 2002). With this type of diabetes, the
People who have been diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus are increasing in every single year. About 15.2% or about 2.6 million of adults which is 18 years old and above have the disease called as Diabetes Mellitus (DM). From this number, about 7.2% of the people have been diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus while another 8.0% previously undiagnosed with diabetes (Diabetes Malaysia, 2015). Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a symptom that can be characterized by chronic hyperglycemia and impaired metabolism of carbohydrates
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Centers for disease control and prevention (2014), reported a total of 29.1 million people in Unite States have diabetes including all age groups, with a 21.0 million of this total currently diagnosed and the rest still undiagnosed. Diabetes mellitus type 2 accounts for 80-90% of cases of diabetes. The amount of persons affected by this disease is increasing worldwide on an accelerated basis. Diabetes is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States and
gained in understanding the adult population that is diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus is to be able to implement glucose control, proper nutrition, eating habits, exercise, and weight loss to support their lifestyle changes to positive behavior and have positive outcomes. During the research, I learned that a comprehensive assessment will set goals, either short or long, for the person living with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The individual will be communicating with health providers about their
Mellitus is a metabolic disorder Diabetes resulting from insulin deficiency or insulin resistance. The most common is Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM). It’s characterized by decrease production of insulin, and insulin resistance; these is related to genetic-environmental interaction (Huether & McCance, 2017, p.474). The major contributor factor to insulin resistance is obesity. Treating the obesity can prevent and decrease the incidence of Type 2 (DM). Decreasing the cases of Type 2 DM means helping
Diabetes mellitus is commonly seen in the field of physical therapy. It is a disease that occurs over a long period of time, and happens when the body cannot use sugar naturally. Our bodies have to have sugar to function correctly, so if there is an inability to break down or make sugar, the body will suffer. This sugar comes from a hormone called insulin, which comes from an organ in our body known as the pancreas. Insulin’s job is keeping our blood sugar levels at a normal rate. If someone has
Background and Significance: The prevalence of type II diabetes mellitus is increasing in the United States (U.S.) and was estimated to affect 29.1 million Americans in 2012. By the year 2050, it is estimated that one in three U.S. adults will have type II diabetes mellitus. Long-term complications of type II diabetes mellitus include increased morbidity and mortality as a result of macrovascular and microvascular complications such as diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy, neuropathy, and cardiovascular
Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was a disease that was thought to have a rare occurrence in children and adolescents a couple decades ago. Nevertheless, researchers have begun to observe the rise in type 2 diabetes mellitus in both adults and children (1). Even though type 1 diabetes mellitus is still the main form of the disease in young people, it is most likely that type 2 diabetes mellitus will prevail in young patients in the near future. Type 2 diabetes mellitus has already been
Diabetes type two is one of the fastest growing public health problems in the world. It is difficult to treat and expensive to manage. It has been estimated that the number of people with diabetes in the world will double from the current value of about 190 million to 325 million during the next 25 years (WHO, 2016). Individuals with type-2 diabetes are at a high risk of developing a wide range of complications such as cardiovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, nephropathy, changes to the
Diabetes mellitus is the most prevalent metabolic non communicable disorder in the world. Diabetes mellitus type 2 is a long term metabolic disorder that is characterized by high blood sugar, insulin resistance, and relative lack of insulin. Type 2 diabetes is typically a chronic disease associated with a ten-year-shorter life expectancy. This is partly due to a number of complications with which it is associated, including: two to four times the risk of cardiovascular disease, including ischemic
