Significance of Non-Pharmacological Interventions on Diabetes Management
Write a paper of 500-750 words for your proposed evidence-based practice project solution. Address the following criteria: My PICOT is about Diabetes.
Proposed Solution: (a) Describe the proposed solution (or intervention) for the problem and the way(s) in which it is consistent with current evidence. Heavily reference and provide substantial evidence for your solution or intervention. (b) Consider if the intervention may be unrealistic in your setting, if it may be too costly, or if there is a lack of appropriate training available to deliver the intervention. If the intervention is unrealistic, you may need to go back and make changes to your problem statement before continuing.
Organization Culture: Explain the way(s) in which the proposed solution is consistent with the organization or community culture and resources.
Expected Outcomes: Explain the expected outcomes of the project. The outcomes should flow from the problem statement.
Method to Achieve Outcomes: Develop an outline of how the outcomes will be achieved. List any specific barriers that will need to be assessed and eliminated. Make sure to mention any assumptions or limitations that may need to be addressed.
Outcome Impact: Describe the impact the outcomes will have on one or all of the following indicators: quality care improvement, patient-centered quality care, efficiency of processes, environmental changes, or professional expertise.

Proposed Intervention
Non-pharmacological interventions have proven vital in the management of diabetes bearing the inputs of prevalent evidence. Non-pharmacological interventions do not include the application of medications to manage or prevent diabetes (Leite, Banzato, & Galendi, 2020). The non-pharmacological interventions constitute inputs. There is a wide range of non-pharmacological interventions that if implemented to prevent diabetes or mitigate its impacts on a patient. Some of the interventions include diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES), multidisciplinary lifestyle interventions, social interventions, psychological interventions, physical therapy, and nutritional therapy (Renata et al., 2020). The choice for intervention should depend on the patient's needs. The level of physical ability of an individual, social or psychological deficiencies, and financial factors all contribute to the intensity of interventions to which diabetes patients are subjected.
Multiple pieces of evidence have proven that non-pharmacological interventions in diabetes are necessary. The American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care recommends that every diabetes patient is subjected to ongoing support and education to the national DSME/S standards. Presently, only 5-7% of patients receive DSME, which has hampered the interventions (Leite et al., 2020). DSME/S has been shown to lower costs, improve quality of life, and improve glycemic control. It is also indicated that people with impaired glucose tolerance subjected to enhanced lifestyle advice significantly lower the incidence of type 2 diabetes by 50% (Raveendran et al., 2018). To that effect, most cases of type 2 diabetes can be prevented, or the onset can be delayed at least. Ultimately, metabolic derangements such as hypercoagulability, inflammation, and insulin resistance can be understood as consequences of adipose tissue dysfunctions. Weight loss interventions can influence adipose tissue functioning by affecting the levels of plasma cytokine and adipokine (Leite et al., 2020). Hence, evidence indicates that proper implementation of various non-pharmacological strategies should help to address various aspects of diabetes.
The interventions are realistic in any setting that demands effective management of diabetes. Non-pharmacological interventions, as evidence indicates, are cheaper as opposed to pharmacological interventions. Still, there are community resources that are available and can be employed in addressing various needs (Raveendran et al., 2018). DSME/S, for instance, has proven effective in education and ongoing support. Other resources, including social and support groups and non-governmental organizations, have shown the motivation to steer non-pharmacological diabetes interventions. Remarkably, some interventions such as nutritional, physiological, or psychological therapy may need costly professional interventions. However, if implemented rightly, most non-pharmacological interventions ...
