The scourge of type II diabetes is impossible to miss when looking at the societies of countries like the United States. More commonly known as adult-onset diabetes, the disorder is commonly manifested upon adulthood (if not sooner) when the body of the patient is unable to regulate insulin and blood sugar like could and should normally be happening within said patient. Asian-Americans are commonly immune from the normal trends and patterns of type II diabetes. However, there are some Asian-Americans that absolutely deal with the disorder and they are very much at a disadvantage given their start minority status in the United States in general and within most corners and cities within the same. Sure, there are cities like New York and San Francisco. There are some school districts and neighborhoods that have high Asian populations. While the general treatments and interventions for type II diabetes are not completely different for Asians than they would be for anyone else, the PICOT question to be explored for this report will show that there are unique facets and factors that should be in play for Asians but these are often missed due to the marginalized and ignored nature of the population and its unique needs.
PICOT Details & Review
As noted in the introduction, the PICOT question for this research shall center on Asian-Americans with type II diabetes. It will be assessed how the current treatment and intervention patterns are deficient and what could or should be done to correct that. As one might expect, the main deficiencies that do exist center on culture. Before getting to that and the material that underpins and supports the same, a quick review of the PICOT framework and details in question are as follows:
· Population: The population in question are Asian-Americans...

Area of Interest Asian Americans have the highest proportion of undiagnosed diabetes than any other ethnic group in the United States, by far. According to the CDC (2017), one in every two Asian Americans has diabetes but has never been diagnosed, which is twice the national average. Research even suggests that Asian-Americans are a “greater risk” than other population groups for developing diabetes across the lifetime (Sun, 2015). More Asians have
PICOT Question for Management of Type 2 Diabetes of Asian-Americans Diabetes is a lifestyle disease that affects the method the body handles glucose in the blood. Presently, more than 27 million people have been diagnosed of type 2 diabetes in the United States while more than 86 million people are suspected having pre-diabetes problem.

PICOT question: In Asian Americans with type 2 diabetes (P), does a culturally tailored diabetes education program, including patient-specific dietary and lifestyle modifications, (I) reduce A1C levels (O) after 2 months (T) versus a control group of Asian Americans? Introduction with a problem statement Type 2 diabetes is a prevalent and growing problem throughout the modern world. The United States especially has seen an increase in type 2 diabetes cases in non-white
Introduction Diabetes mellitus represents a chronic ailment impacting the way the human body converts food consumed into energy. The major portion of consumed food breaks down into glucose and gets discharged into the bloodstream. The human pancreas secretes the hormone, insulin, that helps employ cell blood sugar as energy. Three forms of diabetes have been identified, namely, gestational, type 1, and type 2 diabetes. In the latter, the patient’s body is
