Glycemic

Abstract Prediabetes is an intermediate state of hyperglycemia with glycemic parameters above normal but below the threshold of diabetes. While, the diagnostic criteria of prediabetes are not uniform across various international professional organizations, it remains a state of high risk for development of diabetes with annual conversion rate of 5-10%. Observational evidence suggests as association between prediabetes and early complications of diabetes such nephropathy, small fiber neuropathy, retinopathy

(hyperglycemia), frequent urination (polyuria), excessive thirst (polydipsia), and a significant amount of weight loss, dehydration, electrolyte disturbances and ketoacidosis”, requiring dependency of exogenous insulin in order to promote optimal glycemic control in order to prevent further more severe complications; such as, ketoacidosis, microvascular diseases, macrovascular diseases, neuropathy, or worse – Death (Mahan et al., 2012). Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus can result from two existing forms:

Introduction Few would argue that diabetes mellitus is not a common disease that affects a large number of the World’s population. Shockingly, the World Health Organization reported that an estimated 347 million people globally have either type 1 or type 2 diabetes (Bossart et al., 2015). In the United States alone that number is 29 million (Wilkins, 2017). What most people do not understand is the distinct connection between diabetes and poor oral health. In fact, periodontal disease is considered

the behavior change process. Shannon was in the contemplation stage when I first encountered her in the clinic. She was aware that her recent unfortunate experience was caused by her obesity. Even though T2DM has a genetic predisposition, with glycemic control, physical activity (PA), weight loss and a healthy well balanced diet can help control and prevent disease progression and its complications (Fowler, 2007). Shannon was eager and determined in taking charge of her T2DM but had ambivalence

o Physical therapist should provide education to family members too. For example, each stages of frozen shoulder and patient is in which stage, healing process in adhesive capsulitis. Precaution: Diabetic patient must take some exercise precautions. Even though, therapeutic exercises have potential to improve optimal health. These exercise precautions which are built to help diabetic patient to avoid problems which can result from unwise exercise choices. Prior to beginning of the exercises, metabolic

Victoria’s midwife processed the referral in an untimely manner therefore delaying her treatment. It was not sent until Victoria was 31 weeks, as a result she was not seen until 31 weeks and three days. She had a little over two weeks where she was left confused about what her management should be and worried for the well being of her unborn child. Realistically the referral should have been done immediately. She saw a physician, obsetrician, dietitian and diabetic midwives during this appointment

Literature Review The purpose of the DNP project is to advocate for a parish nurse in the church to teach a diabetes education toolkit that will provide a guide on disease management. This section presents a literature review related to Parish nurses, faith community nurses (FCNs), diabetes, John Hopkins Evidence-Based model, and the change theory by Kurt Lewin. Literature Search Strategy As part of the literature review, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Google

Heart disease, cancer, and stroke are the three leading causes of death in the African-American population. Cancer and heart disease rank as the top two for Hispanic or Latino populations. Intermediate risk factors for all three causes include high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. Although the pharmaceutical industry bombards mass media with copacetic images of average people managing their disease through prescription drugs, all of the stated risk factors are preventable
