This professional website provides basic information on type 2 diabetes to help provide a clear understanding of the condition.
American Diabetes Association. (2014, June 10). American Diabetes Association. Retrieved September 16, 2014, from American Diabetes Association Web site: http://www.diabetes.org/diabetes-basics/statistics/
This is a professional website that provides statistical information extracted from the 2014 National Diabetes Statistics Report. The site provides information on the overall numbers, of diabetes and prediabetes, diabetes among the youth, diabetes prevalence by race/ethnicity, deaths, complications and co-morbidities, and the costs of diabetes. These are valuable background information for the study.
Cruz, M. L., Weigensberg, M. J., Huang, T. T., Ball, G., Shaibi, G. Q., & Goran, M. I. (2004). The Metabolic Syndrome in Overweight Hispanic Youth and the Role of Insulin Sensitivity. J Clin Endocrinol Metab, 89, 108–113.
This article provides insight into metabolic syndrome among the overweight Hispanic youths, and the role insulin sensitivity (type 2 diabetes) plays in the development of chronic diseases in this population. The article provides evidence on the prevalence of various conditions in the sample population and the incidence of metabolic syndrome features. The results indicate a positive correlation between insulin sensitivity and HDL cholesterol and a negative correlation with triglycerides and systolic and diastolic BP. Sensitivity to insulin decreased as metabolic syndrome features increased. This indicates an increased risk to cardiovascular diseases among Hispanic youth with a history of Type 2 diabetes that is related to decreased insulin sensitivity. Hence, it is useful in highlighting the need to improve insulin resistance.

This article provides findings from a diabetes simulation experience among undergraduate students to provide an experience of how diabetes patients on using an insulin pump feel. Three prevalent themes were present that are the handling of issues on self-management, living with an insulin pump and appreciating individuals that live with diabetes. The article highlights the inconveniences of living with diabetes (dietary changes, monitoring blood glucose, and the insulin pump). The article is useful in provides insight into the life of a diabetic and the need to introduce changes in approaches for diabetes patients’ care.

This article provides an evaluation of the effectiveness of a family-based psychological intervention in improving the outcomes that are related to diabetes among patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes. The intervention is effective for individuals with the poorest control at baseline and effective in changing the beliefs, psychological well-being, family support, diet, and exercise hence the effectiveness and need to employ a component that is family-based in the management of diabetes.
Levin, J. S., Glass, T. A., Kushi, L. H., Schuck, J. R., Steele, L., & Jonas, W. B. (1997). Quantitative methods in research on complementary and alternative medicine. A methodological manifesto. NIH Office of Alternative Medicine. Med Care, 35 (11), 1079-1094.
This is Quantitative Methods Working Group’s deliberations summary. The group was convened by the NIH institutes to support the NIH office of Alternative Medicine. The group was identified methods of study design and analysis of data that was applicable to research on complementary and alternative medicine. They came up with “methodological manifesto” containing seven guidelines for alternative medicine research emphasizing the robustness of the existing methods of research and analytic procedures. The methodologies and analytic procedures can address questions related to alternative medicine for therapeutic efficacy in clinical research on efficacy to basic science hence its applicability in diabetes.
Li, R., Bilik, D., Brown, M. B., Zhang, P., Ettner, S. L., Ackermann, R. T., et al. (2013). Medical Costs Associated With Type 2 Diabetes Complications and Comorbidities. Am J Manag Care , 19 (5), 421-430.
The article gives estimations of the medical costs that are directly linked to type 2 diabetes and the complications and comorbidities associated with the condition among managed care patients in the United States. The estimations indicated an increased cost in diabetes treatment among patients with complications and comorbidities hence highlighting the importance of considering the costs when determining the most appropriate treatment for diabetes patients.
Lin, C.-L., & Jueng, R.-N. (2009). Applying Orem’s Theory to the Care of a Hypertension Patient Undertaking Self Care. Tzu Chi Nursing Journal, 8 (5), 102-110.
This article presents a case report providing a description of the application of Orem’s Self-Care Theory and intervention management to the care of a patient with hypertension. The results highlighted that the patient had a deficit in knowledge, little control of alcohol consumption, anxiety, and fear. It involved creation of individualized brochures of health education to enhance knowledge of the condition, creation of a day-to-day report of consuming alcohol and provision of mental support to enhance the knowledge and ability of the patient in controlling their condition. Therefore, it is possible to make patients aware of their diabetic condition hence promote self-management and self-care.
Martin, M. A., Swider, S. M., Olinger, T., Avery, E., Lynas, C. M., Carlson, K., et al. (2011). Recruitment of Mexican American Adults for an Intensive Diabetes Intervention Trial. Ethn Dis, 21 (1), 7-12.
This is a study focused on the efforts to recruit Mexican American adults self-management intervention community health worker trial testing. The outcome measures were screening and randomization. The results indicated that recruitment that was done through an insurer produced a single randomized participant and when the criteria for eligibility was expanded the randomized patients increased by 53%. Recruiting a large pool of patients through community partnerships and incorporation of community members in the process is difficult even when there are strong community ties. Therefore, the barriers to recruitment in the community-based interventions in care should consider all the barriers before initiation to promote positive outcomes.
Meloni, A. R., DeYoung, M. B., Han, J., Best, J. H., & Grimm, M. (2013). Treatment of Patients with Type 2 Diabetes with Exenatide once Weekly versus Oral Glucose-lowering Medications or Insulin Glargine: Achievement of Glycemic and Cardiovascular Goals. Cardiovascular Diabetology, 12 (48), 2-14.
This article presents a retrospective analysis’ findings that calculated the ABI of using exenatide once per week against medication that lowered glucose levels or insulin glarine to attain the goals recommended by ADA. In addition, the Number Needed to Treat in order to attain the goals was also calculated for therapies effectiveness comparison. ABIs were significant with exenatide over all the glucose lower medications for at least a single HbA1c glycemic goal. Exenatide was favored over sitagliptin and insulin glarine to achieve the composite goals. Exenatide assisted more patients compared to sitagliptin, pioglitazone, or insulin glarine hence need to consider other medication apart from glucose lowering medication in the management of diabetes.

The article provides a review of studies examining the relationship that exists between practices of nurse leadership and the patient outcomes. The results indicate a positive correlation between positive relational and transformational approach to leadership and increased patient satisfaction, lower mortality, medication errors, and restraint use and infections acquired from the hospital. Hence, such leadership approaches should be applied to promote better treatment outcomes among diabetes patients
