Evidence-Based Practice Paper and Intervention Presentation

Evidence-Based Practice Paper and Intervention Presentation Name: Institution: Course: Date: Evidence-Based Practice Paper and Intervention Presentation Diabetes intervention Diabetes is a chronic illness that needs a constant patient self management awareness and medical attention. This will be important lowering and preventing the risk of long term and serious complications. The authors further stipulate that caring for diabetes and diagnosing it is complex procedure that involves many aspects that goes beyond the glycemic intervention. Furthermore, the article states that in the recent years, there has been development of diagnostic tool and intervention methods for diabetes patients which are likely to be used for present diagnosis and treatment. For a couple of years, HbA1c has been used in management of diabetes. Therefore recent developments in the field will give physicians the authority to apply this simple blood test to diagnose both pre-diabetes and diabetes. Periodic measurement of glycosylated hemoglobin is a tool that is most familiar to diabetic patients. The blood test which is administered after every three months will assist in determination of how best a patient is controlling his blood sugars levels (Prevention Program Research Group, 2002). Purpose of the study The purpose of the study was to improve previous researches on HgbA1C for detection and diagnosing patients for diabetes symptoms. In order to come up with viable results, the sample of the study was drawn from 843 adults in Michigan health care centers.10 clinically relevant measures were further employed for the analysis. The patients were surveyed on their attitudes, knowledge, and service use. In order to make the instrument to be adapted for future clinically diagnosis, variables were put in use from the diabetes association of America statistics. Methodology Basing its outcome on the 10 years of data, study entitled diabetes prevention and outcomes study, indicated that individuals are more likely to be at risk of type 2 diabetes. This is because approximately 34 percent of patients were not diagnosed on time. Further research indicated that participants in the study illustrated 18 percent did not go for early tests due to lack of money and inaccessibility of the services. HgbA1C HgbA1C was developed by scientists as a diagnostic tool that patients can easily use at home. This is important in that patients who had good knowledge of their HgbA1C levels could accurately manage type 2 of diabetes on their own. According to the article, the American Diabetes Association revisited its rules in December 2009. In its new guidelines, the association recommended that both physicians and doctors to make use of HgbA1C for both detection of diabetes in undiagnosed patients and also to manage the existing cases of the disease. In addition to, quantifying and assessing the likelihood of diabetes occurring in persons who are considered to be at risk. The article further points out that every moment that hemoglobin molecule is manufactured; there is insertion of glucose molecules in hemoglobin complex structure. According to the study, the number of glucose molecules that is inserted into the molecule of the hemoglobin is one way related to the glucose amount. In other words, in a molecule of hemoglobin there is more glucose in the patient’s blood sugar which is high at the time of hemoglobin production. The article states that diagnostic tool is responsible for the measurement of glucose content of molecules of hemoglobin. The author of the article also stipulates that if lifespan of the typical RBC is provided, doctors and physicians will be able to...
