Diabetes Type 2: Nursing case study

The following study or observation was carried out during my service with a leading hospital and research centre in the suburb of Mumbai. It had a day clinic and with 50 bedded general ward for patients suffering from various illness but not infectious. A section of the ward comprising 5 beds was earmarked for patients suffering from acute diabetes or problems related to it. Though usually there were one among ten patients were diagnosed with diabetes. I have been working as a stuff nurse in that hospital or facility.

I was surprised to find patients of all age group suffering from diabetes. They specially visited the day clinic for check up or advices but some acute cases were admitted in the hospital for further care and investigation seeking the extent of damage the disease caused. Many of them were diagnosed with other ailments caused by diabetes being unchecked due to lack of client’s awareness. So I felt the patients of diabetes need more awareness to check or control the problem (United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) Group1998).

The Resident

Amongst the patients there was one 42 years old man named John Moore (not real) who was admitted as he met an accident on road since he fell unconscious on rocky surface and broke knee bone. He was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypoglycaemia occurred when he fell down. His case history suggested he has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes for about five years prior to his admission in that hospital.



Overview of diabetes mellitus type 2

Type 2 diabetes or diabetes mellitus type 2 is also known as non-insulin dependent diabetes. It occurs in presence of high content of glucose in blood and the metabolic disorder in the system resist insulin to neutralise the blood glucose or due to insulin deficiency. At the early stage of detection of high content of glucose in the blood can be controlled by dietary modification and taking physical exercise but with the progress of disease medication may be needed. More or less 3 per cent of UK’s population are suffering from diabetes mellitus and the rate is ever increasing (Ismail, Beeching, Gill & Bells 1999; Amos, McCarty & Zimmet1997; Riste, Khan & Cruikshan 2001). The picture is more or less similar all over the developed and developing countries (Tuomilehto 2001). A study has shown doubling in number of diabetic patients in just six (1999-2005) years (Gerberding & Louise 2007).

A trip to TAKI, West Bengal , India

                                   As Bangldesh looks on the bank of Ichamoti, from TAKI, West Bengal. Take a closed look, a cattle corpse i s floating on the river bed, near the Bangladeshi bank. Victim of transborder cattle smuggling. I am not sure how young generation would react to the name of yester year’s one of the most popular writer portraying the essence of rural Bengal, its pains and joys, prosperity and poverty and off course the thread of society; Bibhuti Bhusan Bandopadhyay. His simplicity was eminent in is writing; that was best projected by famous film director Satyojit Roy in his internationally acclaimed films like ‘Pother Panchali’, ‘Aparajito’ et el.  At the age of 9, I read ‘Pother Panchali’. Though I was not matured, enough to comprehend its intrinsic message of the content but the very story left a pugmark in my mind. I became more interested about the author later. ...

If you were assigned to sell a product called “Sweet Treats” with the slogan, “so sweet, it will make you tweet,” but you thought the product tasted sour, and not at all sweet, what would you do?

Often, celebrities contract to endorse a product, but should they use the product regularly, or even like the product before they are allowed to claim that they “endorse” the product? If celebrity is lying, that is endorsing a product he/she does not use/consume then the ad should be pulled.  The Federal Trade Commission requirement that ads or sponsored social media posts indicate so - is not enough to inform consumers. (Robert, 2017) So, yes, a celebrity who endorses a product should at least appear in public using the product. Examples go in the opposite direction, instead of claiming to use a product but not doing so, which would be lying, the Kardashians post product endorsements across several social media platforms either without disclosing it is an ad or waiting until hours or days after the initial post to do so. According to the the organization Truth in Advertising (TINA.org) The delay allows avid followers to see the initial post as a testimonial instead of as an ad. (K...

TATA SKY OR TATA SQUEEZE!!

This is my debut article in the interest of Indian consumers. Just my humble contribution; to enlighten them about the product or service of famous TATA SKY. Amir Khan, the brand ambassador or Mr. Ratan Tata, the person at the helm of all TATA affairs, would be ashamed of TATA SKY, once they know instead of making the life “JINA LALA”; it is turning the life “JINA HARAM” with TATA SKY at times. With much expectation I switch over to TATA SKY from local cable operator in the month of May this year. Within six months twice I they have replaced their set top box. They went out of order and it is under warranty for one year. Every time I called their customer care, they receive they call as if your are naïve. They take no less than half an hour, to guide you to switch off and on , take out their digi-card and put it back, whether you are young or old caring a fig for that! Surprisingly their call centre’s number is not toll free! You are put on hold for ten minutes and another twenty m...
