Feddersen and Lockwood study examined the effects of diabetes education for over a year; in which a Certified Diabetes Educator was contracted for 20 hours a week to educate nursing staff and facilitate diabetes education for insulin dependent patient. The goal of the study was to see if inpatient education could improve glucose control, thus shortening length of stay.

But in school, my only real contact with the Lakota was in basketball tournaments like the Lakota National Invitational. My parents took me to the largest Pow Wow in Western South Dakota every year where we watched the beautiful grand entry dancers and listened to the awe-inspiring drummers and Lakota singers performing traditional music.

  • Type 2 Diabetes In Australia Essay

    This government funded organisation helps people to further understand and manage their lives with diabetes (Department of Health and Aged Care, 2021). Chronic diseases is Australia’s leading burden in health facilities, with approximately 3 of the $6 billion expenses covered by the government used for diabetes treatments. Specifically, $1.9 billion of the $3 billion is allocated to t2D in comparison to the $321 million allocated to type 1 diabetes (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2023). I believe that if organizations like NDSS create mobile apps for individuals to develop personal skills can decrease the rate of T2D. By delivering accessible support services for Australians, the more we can help raise awareness to the whole nation on the risks and preventable measure people can take. I believe, that by utilizing technology, specifically apps, we can help raise more awareness and reach more individuals around the nation to take preventative measures for T2D. Creating an app to improve people’s diets and lifestyle choices to prevent the development of T2D, is more accessible for individuals, especially rural communities with limited access to healthcare.
