Type II Diabetic Patients

Introduction

The purpose of this research proposal is to enlighten and explore the concept of type II diabetes in adult population. This study paves the way for the future studies that would be formulated to address the issue of diabetes type II among the adults. This study explores the severity of this chronic disease in adults and also suggests different strategies through which this issue can be addressed. Type II diabetes is also called adult-onset diabetes as the onset usually used to take place after the age of 40. Unfortunately, due to life style changes over the last few decades, many more people are developing Type II diabetes at a younger age. There always were sonic people presenting with Type II diabetes early in adulthood, but these were the exception rather than the norm.

Purpose of the Study

Many years before the development of Type II diabetes, individuals usually become overweight. This leads to insulin becoming less effective meaning that people with this condition have to produce more and more insulin to control their blood sugar. Eventually, the pancreas can no longer produce enough insulin and blood sugars begin to rise (Zuckerman, 2006). This is the point at which Type II diabetes occurs. This paper possesses utmost importance for the nursing and health sector as it explores the criticality of diabetes in the adult population.

Significance of the Study

Diabetes is one of the most critical diseases of the world and it is more dangerous when it appears to exist in the adults. With the conduct of this paper, we shall be able to understand the core roots and causes of diabetes that may prevail in patients and at the same time help us give out pointers for catering diabetic patients.

Research Aims and Objectives

This research study has following aims and objectives:

To assess the impact of Type II diabetes in adults

To look into the possible cures and interventions into the disease.

Rationale of the Study

The rational for choosing this topic is because Type II diabetes is a serious disease, which affects many people worldwide. According to the statistics it affects approximately 17 million people in the U.S. (90 percent to 95 percent of whom have type II diabetes) 11.1 million have been diagnosed, but 5.9 million are unaware they have the disease (Walshe, 2003). This research is conducted to facilitate patients of Type II diabetes with information regarding the disease. Moreover, this research would help academicians and student fraternity to conduct further research on the said topic.

Literature ReviewSimilar to other lower socioeconomic status (SES) groups, patients suffer from problems associated with poverty, lack of education, and lack of resources. A search of the recent literature indicates patients as a group have higher incidences of heart disease, hypertension, obesity, lead poisoning, injuries and violent deaths, cervical cancer, stomach and pancreatic cancer, tuberculosis, substance abuse, human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/Al DS), and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) than ...
