Give a scenario of a patient with type 2 diabetes. the symptom, causes, complication and how to treat the disease? as a nurse what can you do to the patient.

Hello! :)

-Causes

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that affects the way your body metabolizes sugar (glucose) — an important source of fuel for your body.

With type 2 diabetes, your body either resists the effects of insulin — a hormone that regulates the movement of sugar into your cells — or doesn't produce enough insulin to maintain normal glucose levels. Signs and symptoms of type 2 diabetes often develop slowly. In fact, you can have type 2 diabetes for years and not know it.

-Symptoms

Look for:

•Increased thirst

•Frequent urination

•Increased hunger

•Unintended weight loss

•Fatigue

•Blurred vision

•Slow-healing sores

•Frequent infections

•Areas of darkened skin, usually in the armpits and neck

-Complications

Some of the potential complications of diabetes include: Heart and blood vessel disease. Diabetes dramatically increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure and narrowing of blood vessels (atherosclerosis). Nerve damage (neuropathy).

-Treatments

Insulin, exercising, eating healthy, and losing weight are some of the meany ways to overcome or improve the criticality of the diabetes.

-As a nurse...

You can provide medications, check-up regularly, provide advice, and follow the journey to a better, healthier life with your patient!

Hope I helped!

Bye now!
