Evidence-Based Practice Project- paper on Diabetes Introduction Diabetes is a metabolic disease condition characterized by increase in blood glucose level. It is a chronic disease that affects both young and old. It also affects pregnant women, a condition …show more content…
Diabetes can be classified as Type 1 (insulin dependent); Type 1 diabetes occurs when the body fails to perform insulin production function and it affects children and young adult but with insulin therapy, they can easily be treated. Type 2 ( Non – insulin dependent), this type occurs when the body cells failure to react to body insulin and it affects majority cases of diabetes patients ( CDC,2010) but with proper nutrition and good control, damage to the body systems can be …show more content…
This blood test done after every 3 months helps to determine how good patient is controlling his or her blood sugar levels( prevention research group, 2002) it has come to clear conclusion that new evidence based research is using AIC tests as a laboratory tool for diagnosing the patient with diabetes. ADAG uses mathematical equation that may be used in converting the AIC test results to estimated average glucose and they were successful in coming up with the ideas. This study of using AIC result could be expressed as an estimated average glucose using the mathematical equation. Based on ADAG current research, they come up with the ideas of comparing the AIC values for each patient, together with daily glucose reading for two days and in four times a day (Nathan, M. et al. (2008)
There are other diagnostic measures and tools for diabetes and such are,
Urine Test : this method of testing has been the commonest method of sugar testing, this can be done by comparing the color charts to detects the amount of glucose in the urine by dipping clinistix in urine specimen however it is not accurate sometimes although it simple and fast to
