Diabetes

My project focuses on Diabetes and the intervention that will help reduce its occurrence in the future. Diabetes is a chronic disease that is characterized by an increase in the level of glucose in the body conflicting with the degree of glucose tolerated by the body. This disease is brought but the individual lifestyle and eating behavior. An individual is at high risk of getting diabetes by eating highly processed carbohydrates, and eating and drinking sugary food and drinks that increase the level of glucose in the body. Eating fatty food and excess red and processed meat. Diabetes comes in two forms type 1 and types 2 diabetes. It is more common in adults, there is limited research done on diabetes hence proving to be a difficult condition to treat.

Diabetes awareness is an interesting topic to venture into since it helps me understand the effects, its occurrence, and the ways of avoiding and treating this condition. It helps change my approach in terms of communication and ideological development in creating awareness about this chronic disease. My main reason for adventuring into this topic is to create the necessary awareness needed to educate people about the dangers of diabetes and the ways that can be used to overcome this condition. In the acquisition of the required information on the topic of interest, I thought it would be easy to get information about this chronic disease. My method of choice was the use of questioners which would be effective, especially for the patient and victims who were victims of diabetes.

In my questionnaire, I covered various areas that would give a hint on the path taken by people with diabetes. These questions include. When were you first diagnosed with diabetes? What is the major diagnosis? Do you do regular exercise? Any complications related to diabetes. Do you smoke or drink alcohol? How regularly do you check your blood sugar level? What reaction occurs when you are diagnosed with diabetes. What diet do they use during their treatment and what are the challenges they encounter during their treatment? These questions help in the acquisition of the information about diabetes. The doctors were also helpful in educating me about the occurrence, prevention, and treatment of the disease. Basically, we need to check our health for us to overcome the disease. Eating proper food and practice helps regulate the body's sugar and glucose levels. In the process of writing this paper, I gained important points that will bring change in the occurrence of this disease the best way to treat and avoid Diabetes is to practice good lifestyles for improved health outcomes. This knowledge assists me in educating families who have their loved ones affected by this condition by advising them on the ways of overcoming this condition.
