The impact of Diabetes
ABSTRACT
Among the many chronic diseases, Diabetes is a cause of millions of deaths worldwide. Diabetes results in the pancreas’ failure to produce enough insulin or in conditions when the insulin produced is in excess for the normal body functioning. Insulin is a blood-sugar regulative hormone that controls the amount of sugar in human bodies. Currently, the rate of Diabetes prevalence is on the rise. According to the WHO, one in three people suffers the disease among the European countries. The most common type of Diabetes is type 2 diabetes, which results from inefficient body utilization of insulin. Many deaths and cases of the disease are associated with type 2 diabetes, closely relating to overweight individuals and obesity. Excess body weight and inactive physical activities lower the rate of insulin consumption in human bodies. The symptoms of this type 2 are less marked and may be diagnosed several years after its onset upon arising of complications. According to the WHO reports, over the past 20 years, the disease’s intensity causes close to half of the deaths relating to chronic complications. Between the years 2000 to 2018, there has existed a 5% increase in disease cases. Besides, the mortality rates have increased along with the rise in the number of cases. Also, type 1 diabetes is commonly referred to as the juvenile, widely characterized by insufficient insulin in the body. Type one is symbolic of the excess release of dilute urine, thirst, hunger, fatigue, and weight loss, among other health complications. It is a sudden type of Diabetes, which is diagnosed by the constant administration of insulin.
Introduction
The impact of Diabetes is widely felt by many families and societies all over the globe. On the other hand, the health sector works tirelessly to ensure the arrest of human complications. With the current advancement in food technology, Diabetes has taken advantage of human eating habits to find a place in society. One out of three persons is diagnosed with deadly chronic menace. Untreated high blood sugar levels from the human body result in the damage of nerve cells, eyes, and major organs like the kidney. When uncontrolled, the disease may lead to cardiovascular complications, hyperglycinemia, amputation, and build-up of other illnesses. Canada is a marked nation with high disease cases. At least 200,000 individuals test positive for the disease every year, with over 3 million population living with diabetic conditions.
Following these results, the Canadian health sector(s) and the medical industry are at the forefront of fighting the disease. The country has set aside necessary supportive guidelines and treatment care to help its citizens remain safe in the struggle with the disease. Further research in Canadian society reveals the more significant number of times a diabetic patient is likely to be hospitalized more than the cardiovascular conditions. Therefore, the disease is reaping the country a lot of economic benefits. The Canadian Diabetes Association Clinical Practice Guidelines Expert Committee (CDACPGEC) reveals a study on the possible causes of Canadians’ disease. The results identify a percentage of 44 inactive individuals, inclusive of youth and the old. The inactivity among individuals automatically invites and creates a home for Diabetes. The country also records 36% of obese individuals with a population of 28% feeding on meat.
Thesis statement
Health facilities are currently using the Bydureon drug to administer patients with chronic complications, primarily type 2 diabetes. However, the use of Bydureon drug has diverse effects on patients in different ways. Many have argued on the positive and negative impact of the drug. It remains a coined situation, as the impact and its effectiveness are arguably unmeasured.
Problem statement
The risk of contracting chronic diseases is on the rise in Canadian society. Several unhealthy practices have led to increased diabetic complications among individuals, raising the alarm on the need to determine ways of reducing the disease prevalence. Therefore, the only problem in the Canadian health sector is focusing on the fight against Diabetes. Nevertheless, the sugar eating and smoking economy requires a lot of attention towards eradication and fight against the problem.
Ideally, having clear the problem at hand, this paper is determined to finding the significant impact of drug administration on patients against Diabetes. Specifically, the study explores the administration of Bydureon on a patient with Diabetes. The Bydureon drug is mainly used on patients with type 2 diabetes, enhancing the glycemic aspects when administered with metformin to control and reduce the diabetic measures on individuals.
Research methodology
The research considered a significant methodology in the findings on the contradictions, effects, and outcomes in the use of Bydureon drug on diabetic individuals. To collect effective information and analytical results, the research entailed a series of research methods.
Analytically, the quantified study explored the clinical and health sectors for information through interviewing health workers, health officials, and patients from different regions. Quantitatively, the research identified the contradicting factors among patients administered with the Bydureon drug. Various indicators also formed the backbone of these findings. Upon administration of the drug, patients reacted differently to it. Some patients recorded an intense increase in the levels of diabetic conditions, while others positively recovered the drug. The following are some contraindications.
Contraindications of drug administration on patients
According to the findings, the health advice the administration of the Bydureon drug once in 7 days. This is a prescription from the health officers that must be put into practice. The drug is associated with several side effects such as nausea, constipation, diarrhea, irritations, and stomach upset. These conditions are hard to deal with for some patients. Besides, patients with hypersensitivity are advised not to apply the administration. Such patients tend to experience increased levels of complications with dizziness, headache among severe issues. One outstanding fact identifies the type 1 patients cannot be given the drug. Other exemptions are patients with end-stage renal conditions.
Other issues related to the drug
The prolonged use of the drug has adverse effects on patients. In most cases, dehydration is a common factor. The drug drags off water from the human body leading to dehydration. Dehydration is associated with stickiness in the mouth area, dryness of the skin, confusion, among other aspects. Again, the drug’s continuous usage has led to swelling of the legs and the leg area and less production of urine, suggesting the drug effect on the kidney functioning. Increased heartbeats and fainting among patients are also witnessed in the prolonged use of the Bydureon drug—a decrease in the level of blood platelets leading to excess bleeding. Also, the inadequacy of platelets results in frequent nose bleeds, strange bruises, and many more.
The fight against this disease stretches to having patients struggle with unknown fever, infections, trauma, which increase the level of blood sugar. In this regard, patients are advised to include bracelets, card tags, or anything that indicates their condition. Most important, patients are advised to seek medical attention when the conditions become uncontrollable.
Significance of the study
Significantly, the research does not only address the problem statement, but it provides an analytical approach toward fighting Diabetes. Notably, identifying the Bydureon drug as an anti-diabetic condition has listed several issues related to its use. Therefore, the study has provided an in-depth understanding of diabetic complications. Type 1 diabetes is recognized as a silent and abrupt condition, mostly termed as a juvenile condition. The drug administration excludes typing 1 diabetes due to uncontrollable results on the patient. Type 2 diabetes is the most common; though deadly, it prolongs its symptoms.
This study contributes to the knowledge of the disease and its control measures. It also gives light on the applicable conditions of the Bydureon drug. Patients should get to learn more about their requirements. The non-affected population has the opportunity to apply the suggested control measures like frequent exercise to arrest diabetic conditions.
Recommendations
Having identified, clearly in the study, the adverse conditions of Diabetes, the Canadian society has all the reasons to switch their norm of living. The study identifies a 14% population relying on cigarette smoking. Smoking leads to chronic complications; therefore, the living community should fight against such actions.
Again, awareness is the key to winning this war on Diabetes. With the help of Canadian health and clinical sectors, awareness programs should be an all-time running activity. This program should shed light on the effects of Diabetes, preventive measures, and how to control it. It should also provide guidelines for seeking health check-ups.
A lazy society was another factor identified by the Canadian Diabetes Association Clinical Practice Guidelines Expert Committee. The government and other initiatives are tasked with promoting a working economy through increasing employment opportunities among youths. An active society is a Diabetes free society.
Conclusions
In an effort to increase awareness programs on Diabetes in Canada, several independent bodies have joined together in this noble course. Not only will awareness treat the economy, but it will also be a preventive measure tool that will leave many Canadians healthy. The high prevalence of type 2 diabetes is alarming and calls for immediate action. Deaths and a stagnant economy lead to a countries’ decay. Experts have advised on specific control measures to be taken against the disease. Frequent exercising is good for keeping healthy and releasing fats out of the body. Avoidance of smoking and other issues that cause chronic conditions is advised. Conclusively, taking the test and learning about this growing disease’s risk factors will empower Canadians to take control of their health.
