The Wisconsin Epidemiological Study (25)has proved that microvascular complications such as diabetic retinopathy (DR) in the diabetic population are linked to the duration of the disease. Diabetic retinopathy occurs both in type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Nearly all type 1 and 75% of type 2 DM will develop DR after 15 year duration of diabetes.(25) During the first two decades of disease, nearly all patients with type 1 diabetes and >60% of patients with type 2 diabetes have…

essential to the improvement of A.G.’s goal of glycemic control. He will be encouraged to incorporate a total of 150 minutes of exercise weekly and to assist with his cardiovascular risks and lower his BMI of 30 (Blair, 2016). Lowering weight can improve insulin resistance and assist with improving glycemic control (ADA, 2014). Most importantly, A.G. will be assisted with understanding his new conditions both diabetes and hyperlipidemia and to understand the importance of adhering to his new…

Type 2 diabetes is caused by “cellular insulin resistance, inadequate amount of insulin to overcome this resistance, or a production of insulin that the body cannot use efficiently (Mertig, 2012, p.5). One develops type 2 diabetes whereas type 1 diabetics are normally born with the autoimmune disease. Diabetes is defined as a fasting blood…

insulin sensitizing agents can increase ovulation rates in some women with PCOS. Metformin has been used widely for that purpose. Aromatase Inhibitors Anastrozole and letrozole are triazole derivatives that act as potent, competitive, nonsteroidal inhibitors of aromatase. Aromatase is an enzyme which catalyzes the rate-limiting step in estrogen production. Letrozole inhibits estrogen production in the hypothalamus–pituitary axis, which results in compensatory increase in gonadotropin-releasing…

will become inevitable. Most of the current therapies are aimed at managing the symptoms of diabetes, or glucose levels. For type I diabetes, the standard treatment is insulin, while for type II diabetes it can be one or a combination of sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones, biguanides, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, meglitinides, and insulin (9). However, these drugs do not for the most part treat the underlying microvascular mechanisms contributing to DR. Studies have indicated that despite tight…

who have taken their annual trip to the doctors are patients with Type 2 Diabetes. The horrible diseases that interferes with people’s blood sugar sends diabetics running to the doctors in hopes of a cure to their illness rather than the temporary insulin that they are always having to rely on.

Thanks for your informative topic. This is a summary of researched information after reading your topic, management of patients with diabetic ketoacidosis. Diabetic Keto Acidosis (DKA) is a medical emergency and should be managed promptly. It is important to assess for severity to determine the clinical setting in which the patient is to be managed.(JBDS,2013.) Nurses play an important role to how to identify, manage DKA and how to maintain the patient's electrolyte balance. DKA is a complex…

The circles around her eyes had been there for weeks, perhaps months, and she had not been herself for some time. I didn’t know what was wrong but my sister-in-law had said that we should ask for a diabetes test since Jada had been thirsty and going to the bathroom a lot. Sure, I will ask, I told her, and I did. But in reality I was clueless as to what that even meant. After the first finger poke, came another and then a few minutes later a blood draw. By this time, I realized the nurses were…
