In the United States, diabetes has become an epidemic. More than 25.6 million people - 11.3% of our population - are estimated to be affected. Just over one-fourth of these individuals are over the age of 65 while less than 0.26% are younger than 20. And, it is estimated that another 7 million people are unaware they are affected.
This course is designed to provide nurses in clinical practice with an overview of diabetes, risk factors and signs and symptoms associated with a diagnosis of diabetes, factors to consider when providing care to a patient diagnosed with diabetes and practical steps that can be taken to encourage adherence to treatment regimens.
After completing this course, the learner should be able to:
Define the types of diabetes.
Identify signs, symptoms and risk factors for diabetes.
Describe the roles of clinical and home glucose tests.
Describe the importance of periodic and ongoing reassessment.
Describe conditions to look for when assessing patients with diabetes.
Overview of federal government's new food icons MyPlate (which replaced MyPyramid) geared toward people who are obese, "pre-diabetic," or diagnosed with diabetes. Also provides information about general nutrition, diabetes, losing weight, taming portion sizes, and the benefits of physical activity.
This video applies the knowledge of normal endocrine anatomy, physiology, and assessments when providing nursing care for clients with diabetes mellitus, and it's prevalence and incidence. It explains the pathophysiology, risk factors, manifestations, and complications of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The lecture looks at the manifestations and interdisciplinary care of hypoglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) and identifies the diagnostic tests used for screening, diagnosis, and monitoring of diabetes mellitus. The video discusses the nursing implications for insulin and oral hypoglycemic agents used to treat clients with diabetes mellitus. Students learn how to provide accurate information to clients with diabetes mellitus to facilitate self-management of medications, diet planning, exercise, and self-assessment, including foot care and the use the nursing process as a framework for providing individualized care to clients with diabetes mellitus.
Hyperglycemia is an increasingly common and often complex condition to manage in the inpatient setting. Numerous clinical studies have shown a link between uncontrolled diabetes and poor clinical outcomes in a number of inpatient settings. In this program, Thomas Donner, MD, an endocrinologist and the Director of the Joslin Diabetes Center at the University Of Maryland School Of Medicine, provides a detailed look at the challenges of managing glucose levels in hospitalized patients. He describes the rationale for tight glycemic control, provides the how and why to implement intensive insulin therapy, and offers expert guidance on transitioning inpatients back to their homes
Diabetes Gestacional: Usted esta en Control with updated graphics and statistics related to:
Prevalence by ethnicity
Overall prevalence
Prevalence of developing Type 2 diabetes after having gestational diabetes
In addition, home blood glucose testing is demonstrated using a state-of-the-art blood glucose meter. Gestational diabetes is a common complication during pregnancy. With this program, mothers-to-be and family members will learn how gestational diabetes develops, and how to work with healthcare providers as a team to control this condition. The program provides answers to myths about gestational diabetes and insulin, and presents five things pregnant women need to do to control gestational diabetes.
The incidence of diabetes around the world is rapidly rising. Predominant causative factors include age, lifestyle and obesity with up to 90% of the diabetic population having Type 2 Diabetes.
As a direct result of this rise, the need for nurses with diabetic expertise has also risen.
This program has been developed as a response to growing demand for diabetic nursing knowledge, signs and symptoms awareness, and management of Type 2 Diabetes.
It will provide an invaluable learning resource for both nursing students and clinical nurses delivering hands-on nursing care.

Nutrition is the foundation of your diabetes management. The key to managing this disease begins with understanding the changes necessary to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Lively program features interviews with children and teens. Emphasizes diabetes is not their fault and that insulin shots are not painful. Shows how to monitor blood glucose; explains symptoms of hypoglycemia and how to treat it.
Stress and depression act on the parts of the brain that contribute to the regulation of both appetite and blood sugar. In addition, both conditions influence a person's lifestyle choices; no wonder they can wreak havoc with the management of diabetes. Diabetes can act as a stress and cause depression; helpful suggestions on how to manage this complex interaction.
Discusses the epidemiology, origins, pathophysiology, and signs and symptoms of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Examines metabolic syndrome and prediabetes. Describes the long-term consequences of untreated or inadequately treated diabetes
Program describes normal glucose physiology, including the particular role of the liver. Outlines the role of insulin in carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism, and describes the action of the counter-regulatory hormones

While health care professionals are acutely aware of the need to manage diabetes by working with their patients to achieve optimal long-term glucose control, recent studies suggest that a stronger emphasis needs to be placed on foot care. Recommendations include frequent and thorough foot examinations for patients with diabetes, and early intervention to treat fungal nail disease and related disorders. More specifically, patients with chronic nail disease such as onychomycosis (OM) ¡V whether it presents on the hand or foot, require efficacious treatment for two major reasons: 1. The nail and tissue deformities secondary to OM may cause vascular complications necessitating surgical intervention, and 2. OM, because of its treatment resistance to all but sustained systemic therapy, is a persistent and esthetically unappealing condition. Many patients with this disease tend to be self-conscious, and may in fact develop depression secondary to OM. Using case studies to illustrate key diagnostic and treatment issues, an interdisciplinary panel of experts explores the state-of-the-art in managing onychomycosis in the patient with diabetes
Learn how puberty, the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and menopause affect blood sugar maintenance. This program also covers the important, yet often not discussed topic of how diabetes affects women's psychological and physical sexual health. Gender-specific differences, including cardiovascular risk factors, child and teenage obesity, and weight management issues discussed. Covers type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Self-monitoring of blood glucose is an important component of routine diabetes care. Monitoring your blood glucose lets you know if your exercise program is effective, if your medication and dosage are right for you and if you have consumed too many carbohydrates. This program demonstrates the procedures for home blood glucose monitoring and emphasizes that this type of blood sugar monitoring may be the single most important way to know how your treatment is working.
During times of illness it can be particularly difficult to keep blood sugars in control. This program will focus on two specific areas of diabetes self-management; sick days and foot care.
Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from a defect in insulin secretion, insulin action or both. This program is designed to provide insight on what diabetes does to a person's body, the various types of diabetes, complications associated with this disease and important steps to prevent or decrease the risk of complications.
