Diabetic gastroparesis involves enteric nerve‚ Interstitial Cells of Cajal (ICC)‚ and smooth muscle dysfunction which results in delayed gastric emptying. It occurs in both Type I and Type II diabetic patients: 20-55% in type I or insulin-dependent patients; and up to 30% in type II non-insulin dependent. The pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for diabetic gastroparesis remain unclear. The results derived from diabetic animal models suggest that gastroparesis

Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. In type 2 diabetes‚ either the pancreas does not make enough insulin (insulin is a hormone that helps glucose to enter cells) or muscle cells are unable to use insulin properly. As the result‚ a diabetic patient has very high blood sugar levels. When the sugar or glucose level is over 600 mg/dl‚ it’s dangerous to the diabetic’s health. Untreated diabetes affects the eyes‚ nerves‚ kidney‚ heart and blood vessels. Type 2 Diabetes is usually controlled

plan for diabetics: a low-carbohydrate diet high in fat and animal protein. This was revised for the next 150 years‚ and resulted in Dr. Fredrick M. Allen’s idea of a near-starvation diet as little as 450 calories per day. Because of this‚ however‚ most diabetic patients were severely malnourished and very few weighed more than 70 pounds towards the end of their illness. In 1920‚ Dr. Frederick Banting wanted to make a pancreatic extract for diabetics‚ which would hopefully have anti-diabetic qualities

I recently admitted a 59 year old male with suicidal ideation. As I was assessing my patient‚ he told me that he was a type 2 diabetic who checks his bloodsugars with meals and uses Insulin for coverage. He was concerned that his readings at home have been elevated and has not had an appetite for the last two days. I used the glucometer to check his chemstick which was 285. I called the admitting doctor and the Hospitalist to report my findings and the result of the bloodsugar. As a nursing

with data that provides information on whether telemedicine is viable for diabetic care. I believe with the research presented and the research to be conducted‚ diabetic telemedicine will be a useful tool in treating patients with this chronic illness. Telehealth group therapy‚ in-home treatment and one-on-one telehealth appointments will lower health problems of diabetic patients. The continued monitoring of these diabetic patients through a telehealth program will lower A1c‚ lipid‚ blood pressure
