Discuss the patient’s diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. How would you diagnosis a child with this?
Case Study #1: Diabetes Hannah is a 10-year-old girl who has recently been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. She is a 4th grade student at Hendricks Elementary School. Prior to her diagnosis, Hannah was very involved in sports and played on the girls volleyball team. Her mother is concerned about how the diagnosis will affect Hannah. 1. Discuss the patient’s diagnosis. Include a definition of the actual disease or condition. Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus once known as “juvenile onset� diabetes or “insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus,� is a chronic disorder of carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism caused by inadequate production of insulin by the pancreas or faulty use of insulin by the cells. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert sugar (glucose) into energy. Although type 1 diabetes can develop at any age, it typically appears during childhood or adolescence. 2. Identify the factors which could have caused or lead to the particular disease or condition. 3. Describe the signs and symptoms which are associated with the disease or condition. 4. Discuss the diagnostic testing that is usually performed in order to formally diagnose the particular disease or condition. 5. Identify the appropriate treatment (including therapies, medications, etc) which the patient may be prescribed for his/her particular diagnosis. 6. Discuss potential barriers to therapy which the patient may experience due to their unique situation. 7. Discuss alternative treatments which may also benefit the patient. 8. Describe the typical prognosis for a patient with the disease or condition. 9. Identify patient teaching which would benefit the patient in your case study. I have to do a paper for school and looking for a good website to answer these question.

it could be added, how diabetes can impact a person's life.

Well i have diabetes, and that article sounds very good!
3 :
it was very informative. Maybe you could add some of the results of untreated diabetes. It's the leading cause of amputation in adults. also, eye problems and kidney problems
4 :
Long term complications such as retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy..? Ways to lower BG by diet and drugs. Differences in the types of insulin, oral and injection and varieties of each (ie lente, short acting, long acting..)

It depends, we don't know what format your bibliography needs to be in. Typically, I would say that they're in APA format. So, here's a website where you can look it up. http://www.liu.edu/cwis/cwp/library/workshop/citapa.htm
2 :
Some of the links don't work. but what you do is organize them in alphabetical order. by the author's last name. and if the piece of work doesn't have an author.... then start with the title first. you should do mla format for this, if you can "Author and/or editor names Name of the database, or title of project, book, article Any version numbers available Date of version, revision, or posting Publisher information Date you accessed the material Electronic address, printed between carets ([<, >])."

1 :
tingling sensation, progressive blinding
2 :
Albuminuria
3 :
Hightened response to insulin ie same insulin dose increases hypoglycemic effect,and Serum creatinine exceeding 2mgs/dl.
4 :
Symptoms Throughout its early course, diabetic nephropathy has no symptoms. Symptoms develop in late stages and may be a result of excretion of high amounts of protein in the urine or due to renal failure: swelling -- usually around the eyes in the mornings; later, general body swelling may result foamy appearance or excessive frothing of the urine unintentional weight gain (from fluid accumulation) swelling of the legs, poor appetite, nausea and vomiting, general ill feeling, fatigue, headache, frequent hiccups and generalized itching. The first laboratory abnormality is a positive microalbuminuria test. Most often, the diagnosis is suspected when a routine urinalysis of a person with diabetes shows too much protein in the urine (proteinuria). The urinalysis may also show glucose in the urine, especially if blood glucose is poorly controlled. Serum creatinine and BUN may increase as kidney damage progresses. Please see the webpages for more details on Diabetic Nephropathy.

And.......What is your question?
3 :
It's not worded very clearly and it should have been run through a spell checker before it was submitted. And the last sentence is completely wrong: "Type one diabetic patients cover around ninty percents in the entire diabetic group." It's more like 10 percent.
