Abstract
Type II diabetes has negatively influenced millions in the United States. Adverse impact of type II diabetes in children is ever increasing and needs some serious strategic and professional input from nurses deployed at schools. Unfortunately, the sensitivity of diabetic issue is never addressed appropriately. Moreover, the lack of research on the topic has also resulted in a significant increase in childhood type II diabetes. The research indicates that controlling type II diabetes in children is possible. School nurses employing the knowledge of physical exercises, dietary plans and emergency response can readily ...

Background

Type II diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder found in adults that involves high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) due to insulin resistance as well as an insufficient amount of insulin. Type II diabetes differs from Type I diabetes, which is characterized by a complete lack of insulin. Symptoms of Type II diabetes include thirst, frequent urination and hunger. Long term complications include heart disease, strokes, vision problems and kidney failure. Today, there are close to 300 million people in the world who have been diagnosed with type II diabetes, an increase of 10 fold over the past 30 years. This increase in ...

a) Background and Significance
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disorder characterized by two main features: high blood glucose level (hyperglycemia) and insulin resistance. The disorder was formerly referred to as non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. The pathophysiology of type 2diabetes is progressive, characterized by decreased insulin sensitivity, deteriorating cell function, and decreased incretion function (Phielix and Mensink, 2008; Misra, 2008).
In human studies, people with type 2 diabetes have a decreased PGC-1α expression compared to healthy subjects (Wagner et al., 2008; Cantó and Auwerx, 2009; Kang, 2012). The skeletal muscles of people with type 2 diabetes and those of their ...

Problem

Diabetes has become a major health concern throughout the world; Lewis et al. (2007) state that in the United States (U.S.), an estimated 20.8 million people (7% of the population) have diabetes mellitus, and 41 million more people have pre-diabetes. It has become the fifth leading cause of death in America. The major goals of diabetic management are the reduction of symptoms, promotion of well-being, prevention of acute complications of high glucose levels, and the prevention or delaying of onset and progression of long-term and lasting complications. These goals can only be reached with patient compliance to prescribed treatment regimens. ...

The global burden of diabetes is high and the prevalence of diabetes is increasing. Diabetes is a major disease with significant side effects and complications resulting in shorter lifespans. The problem is greater with type 1 diabetes because this type of diabetes cannot be prevented and there is no cure for the disease. However, clinical studies have shown that education, adapting to the disease, and nutritional therapy can reduce the complications of type 1 diabetes. Parents are the most important members of the diabetes management team in pediatric patients and any impact on the quality of life of the parent ...

proportions. The effects of child and adolescent obesity have negative impacts, both

immediate and long term. One of the negative effects is diabetes, which is preventable

through a healthy lifestyle to include good eating habits and regular physical activity.

Thesis Statement:

Child obesity is out of control in the United States when one out of five children

Diabetes in America: Research Proposal

Given the recognition and on-going research into the disease of diabetes, there has probably been thousands and perhaps millions of books and articles written on the subject. The most commonly recognized types are type 1 and types 2 diabetes, but others include gestational, monogeneic, and cystic-fibrosis related diabetes (NIDDK, 2017). It is impossible to determine how many people in the world have diabetes or how many will develop it. The estimates of the amount of money spent in patient care and research are only guesses, and the suffering by diabetes and their loved ones is incalculable. However, this paper ...

(Author’s affiliation)
Diabetes is a polygenic disease characterized by significantly higher levels of glucose in the blood. In this disorder, metabolic disorders lead to persistent thirst (polydipsia) and excessive level of urination (polyuria). Diabetes is caused by insulin-related disturbances in the body. In healthy human beings, pancreatic β cells have insulin that is found as a hexamer having three insulin dimers attached together by two central zinc ions. The insulin monomer has a 21-residue A chain as well as a 30-residue B chain. These chains are cross-linked by two disulfide bridges, i.e. CysA20-CysB19 and CysA7-CysB7. There is also a ...

The Proposal

Vulnerability increases the likelihood of particular persons acquiring illnesses. The susceptibility may arise due to genes, poverty, cultural practices, environmental factors, etc. In this particular case, this essay conceptualizes on the risks factors that make diabetes prevalent amongst minority populations.

Pregnancy Is Treated as a Disease in Today’s Society, in Canada

Pregnancy is considered as a natural phenomenon. Whereas some people believe that pregnancy is a disease and it has to be treated before giving birth to a child (McKay, 2006). Pregnancy is a God gifted thing and nobody can interrupt this system. Although there might be some diseases attached with the pregnancy, but considering pregnancy as a disease itself is wrong. Diabetes and hypertension are commonly known complaints of pregnant women in Canada. The reason for this is not pregnancy, but the excessive weight gain, breast cancer and HIV during the pregnancy (Tata, et. al. 2005).

Problem statement: To study and analyze the Canadian pregnancy treatment.
