Diabetes: Management and Pharmacotherapy01:15

Diabetes: Management and Pharmacotherapy

781
The therapy for diabetes aims to alleviate hyperglycemia-related symptoms, prevent acute metabolic decompensation, and reduce chronic end-organ complications. Glycemic control is evaluated through short-term (self-monitoring, continuous glucose monitoring) and long-term (A1c, fructosamine) metrics, enabling near real-time tracking of blood glucose levels and reflecting glycemic control over specific time frames.
Insulin remains the cornerstone of treatment for most patients with type 1 and many...

Diabetes Mellitus: Overview and Type I Subtype

4.7K
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels due to inadequate insulin production, insulin resistance, or both. The condition affects millions worldwide and can significantly impact their health and quality of life.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. As a result, the body is unable to produce sufficient insulin, and individuals with...

Diabetes Mellitus: Type 2 and Gestational

4.2K
Type 2 diabetes, characterized by insulin resistance, arises when the insulin receptors on cells lose responsiveness to insulin, diminishing the cell's capacity to take up glucose, resulting in elevated blood glucose levels. To receive a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, a series of blood glucose tests are necessary to assess whether the blood glucose falls within normal parameters. If the result is out of the normal range, a patient may be diagnosed as prediabetic or diabetic, depending on the...

Carbohydrate Metabolism01:36

Carbohydrate Metabolism

13.5K
Carbohydrates are polymers composed of molecules containing atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. One gram of carbohydrate can provide four kilo-calories of energy, which makes it the most efficient instant energy source.
Starch accounts for approximately 60% of the carbohydrates consumed by humans. Since amylase enzymes cannot function in the stomach's acidic environment, starch can only be digested in the mouth and small intestine. Simple sugars are found naturally in milk and fruits in...

Insulin: Dosing Regimen and Adverse Effects

574
Insulin-replacement therapy usually includes both long-acting insulin (basal) and short-acting insulin (to cater to postprandial needs). In a diverse group of type 1 diabetes patients, the average daily insulin dose is typically 0.5-0.7 units/kg body weight. However, obese patients and pubertal adolescents may need more due to insulin resistance.
The basal dose constitutes about 40%-50% of the total daily dose, with the rest as premeal insulin. The mealtime insulin dose should mirror...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation

1.9K
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

Area of Science:

  • Digital Health
  • Behavioral Science
  • Diabetes Management

Background:

  • Digital health interventions (DHIs) are crucial for improving chronic disease self-management.
  • The development processes for DHIs are often poorly documented, hindering replication and understanding.
  • A standardized approach is needed for robust DHI development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically describe the development of a digital self-management program for type 2 diabetes, named MyDESMOND.
  • To provide a step-by-step guide using the Intervention Mapping framework for adapting existing programs into digital formats.
  • To share key learnings for researchers developing DHIs for chronic conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the 4 steps of the Intervention Mapping (IM) framework.
  • Adapted the face-to-face Diabetes Education and Self-Management for Ongoing and Newly Diagnosed (DESMOND) program into the MyDESMOND digital platform.
  • Involved patient and public involvement groups and established a planning group.

Main Results:

  • Successfully adapted the DESMOND program into the MyDESMOND digital intervention.
  • Detailed the application of the IM framework across four distinct developmental steps.
  • Identified and documented key learnings from the systematic development process.

Conclusions:

  • The Intervention Mapping framework provides a structured approach for developing DHIs.
  • Systematic development and clear documentation are essential for effective DHIs.
  • The MyDESMOND development process offers valuable insights for future DHI creation in chronic disease management.
