Diabetes: The future of a chronic disease
The number of cases of type II diabetes has seen a dramatic increase in recent years, both in the United States and worldwide. The primary reasons for this increase are generally attributed to increased consumption of high-sugar, high-starch, and highly caloric food and a lack of exercise. The International Diabetes Foundation estimates that "one in 10 of the world's population will have diabetes by 2035" (Greenberg 2013). Diabetes is "the sixth leading cause of death in the United States" alone (Diabetes disparities among racial and ethnic minorities, 2001, AHRQ). Addressing this national and global epidemic is essential given the common, conventional wisdom in public health that "people will make the healthy choice when the healthy choice is the easy choice" (Greenberg 2013). In the developed, developing, and even the minimally developed world, it is increasingly easy to eat foods associated with triggering the disorder and to engage in lifestyle practices that exacerbate risk factors (Greenberg 2013).
Treatments
The goal of all forms of diabetes treatment is to stabilize blood glucose levels, which requires careful monitoring. The types of treatments suggested for patients with type II diabetes vary depending upon the stages of the disorder and the severity of the case. For patients with 'pre-diabetes' or high blood sugar and associated risk factors not deemed to be serious enough to warrant a full diagnosis, changes in eating habits and exercise...
Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not generate or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone produced in the body that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life (Wan).

However, what exactly cause diabetes is still unknown, but both genetics and environmental elements such as overweight
Diabetes Evidence-Based Practice Diabetes Diabetes is a disease which stays with the patient life-long except in some cases where the diabetes is gestational which occurs during pregnancy and often goes back to normal after the delivery.

Bloom's Taxonomy Education Nursing Education Bloom's Taxonomy of learning and its use in nursing education: Chronic diseases Bloom's taxonomy of learning suggests that there are different levels of mastery when a student first confronts a topic. There are also three domains of learning: cognitive, which pertains to mental skills of the acquisition of knowledge; affective, which relates to emotional growth; and the psychomotor domain which pertains to physical skills (Clark, 2015, "Original cognitive").
Generic Drugs in Prevention of Chronic Disease The cost of healthcare -- including the cost of health insurance -- in the United States has gone up exponentially over the last few years. And when it comes to healthcare for those suffering from chronic diseases, the cost is often more than the patient can afford. But the use of generic drugs could reduce those costs and bring the overall cost of caring
obesity is related to other chronic diseases like diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. The literature gathered has also indicated that there has been a reduction of obesity and overweight, which has made them less of a health goal. The researchers have established that majority of research concentrates on individuals and little research has been conducted to examine family members. This research has noted that there are people who express concern
