This ahs some relevance to the PICO question in the ability of individuals to provide proper self-care, but it does not address the issues of diet or exercise at all.
The Two Best
The two most relevant articles that were uncovered during this research process in regards to the specific PICO question identified above were Gulve's 2008 article concerning the effects of different exercise types on glucose levels, and the Mayo Clinic's 2009 general information article on developing a healthy eating plan. These two articles have very different approaches both in collecting their information and in presenting it to the reader, but both also came the clsoest to directly answering the PICO question, or at least specific portions of the PICO question, and had highly reliable information.
In the case of the Mayo Clinic's article, the dietary plan was directly and explicitly linked to changes in glucose levels, aiding the patient (and the researcher) in knowing exactly why certain recommendations regarding intervention were being made. This leads to a deeper understanding and a deeper appreciation of the importance of diet on glucose levels and general control of type II diabetes. The same is...
Screening for Gestational Diabetes Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is caused by the development of glucose intolerance during pregnancy (National Institutes of Health 2013). In the United States the National Institutes of Health (2013), U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (2008), and the American Diabetes Association (2013) are just a few agencies and organizations who have weighed in on this topic. Elsewhere, the Cochrane Systematic Reviews (Tieu et al. 2010) and the World
Diabetes According to Waryasz & McDermott (2009), the global prevalence of diabetes among people aged between 20 and 79 rose to 6.4% affecting 285 million people in 2010 and the rate will rise to 7.7% affecting 439 million people by 2030. Amid 2010 and 2030, the rate of individuals with diabetes will increase by 69% in developing nations, and a twenty percent rate in developed nations. In 2011, the number rose
ACE INHIBITORS vs. TIGHT GLYCEMIC CONTROL Diabetic Nephropathy Diabetic Nephropathy: ACE Inhibitors vs. Tight Glycemic Control Diabetic Nephropathy: ACE Inhibitors vs. Tight Glycemic Control Proteinuria is considered a risk factor for end-stage renal disease and coronary artery disease, secondary to diabetes (reviewed by Tan, Jaung, Gamble, & Cundy, 2014). The recommended treatment approach relies on angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB), with the goal of proteinuria remission and the control of
EBP Type 2 diabetes mellitus has become a common condition afflicting individuals worldwide. There are an increasing number of women in the reproductive age group presenting with type 2 diabetes, which necessitates appropriate risk management in order to reduce the likelihood of any negative effects for mothers and fetuses (Mahmud & Mazza, 2010). Prevention of any complications among this high risk group is best achieved through preconception care including counseling that
Abstract Developing a researchable question is one of the challenging tasks a researcher encounters when initiating a project. In current clinical practice, both unanswered issues or when experiences dictate alternative therapies may provoke an investigator to formulate a clinical research question. This paper describes PICO (population, intervention, control, and outcomes) criteria in framing a research question. Finally, it assesses the characteristics of a peer-reviewed article on urinary tract infections. Part 1 EBM, shorthand
