CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1- Nature of Type 2 diabetes

By adopting dietary way of life for diabetes administration is often tough for patients; yet the wellbeing associated value of life (HRQOL) conclusions of dietary administration for the persevering are not extensively evolved in the HRQOL evaluations now broadly utilized in diabetes research. (Turkinton 2004, 27) This study evolved initial equipment, the diabetes dietary approval and conclusions assess, to consider conclusions of individuals' knowledge in next a serving of food design for the remedy of kind II diabetes.

It is recommended that people with type II diabetes follow a daily self-management routine; however, many individuals have difficulty with the regimen. (Tuomilehto 2004, 14) While high rates of adherence are seen with taking diabetes pills and taking insulin, lower adherence rates are found with diet and exercise Patients with diabetes that are able to follow their meal plans more often are able to achieve lower Hb-Ajc levels. Notably, diet is an especially difficult aspect of the diabetes care regimen. (Clement 2008, 47)

It is likely that most newly diagnosed patients in clinical practice are identified and tested for type II diabetes because diabetes symptoms reported related. This is not the case in a marquee, where people are believed to be asymptomatic and therefore aware of their health problem. (Hillier 2006, 15) Second, there is a growing recognition of the importance of subjective burden of symptoms (symptom distress) in the context of the multidimensional concept of Hrolf. It is important to note that besides the true levels of glucose in the blood, the perception of symptoms is determined by cognitive and emotional responses, particularly negative reactivity. (Henry 2007, 47) If reporting symptoms in patients with newly diagnosed diabetes is associated with negative affect is not known.

In an initial study of people newly diagnosed with type II diabetes by Palinkas and lifting of depressive symptoms did not appear to be the result of diabetes itself, but the awareness of individuals with type II diabetes. (Griffith 2004, 68) Although the causal relationship is unclear, depression in diabetes is associated with hyperglycemia. On the other hand, depression was an independent predictor of reporting diabetes symptoms. Some studies suggest that depression is an independent predictor of developing type II diabetes.
