This article addresses young Hispanic and their predisposition to have diabetes. The article shows the seriousness of issue seriousness to provide a new care approach by care providers. In addition it gives important statistical about diabetes and Hispanic population. For example, Hispanics are among ethnic groups more likely to have diabetes. The article supports my proposed changes.

This is article is also an important source for statistical information about diabetes. Nevertheless the article doesn’t support my proposed changes but gives valuable background information about the topic. For instance, the statistical data compare and contrast obesity rates among children and adults in the United States.

I considered this article to be valuable. The article supports my suggested changes. The article summarizes a nurse training platform which successful incorporated what I have proposed. For instance, at the end of the shift went home with insulin pumps and told to understand what it was like to have diabetes for 24 hours. The outcomes of the study was successful.

The article subjected me to include a family component in my proposed changes. The article showed that family has enormous impact on family members suffering from type 2 diabetes. Especially when it is concerned to young children.

Levin, J., Glass, T. A., and Lawrence, K. H. (1997). Quantitative Methods in Research on Complementary and Alternative Medicine: A Methodology Manifesto. Journal of Medical Care. 35.11. Pp 1079-1094.

Complementary and alternative medicine is an arena where nurses haven’t explore enough yet. Caregiver or parents may use CAM to help children dealing with type2 diabetes but it is very relevant for this specific topic. It’s important for nurses to know alternate sources of help o assistant children and their families.

Li, R., and R. Bilik (2013). Medical Costs Associated with Type 2 Diabetes Complications and Comorbidities. The American Journal of Managed Care. 19(5): 421-429.

Medical costs is another statically threshold that would like to add on my research paper. The cost associated with diabetes treatment are too high. I believe it’s important to take a second look at approach the problem differently.

Compassion fatigue is concept experience by all nurse dealing diabetes patients and other chronic diseases. It’s imperative that my proposed changes concept propose compassion fatigue training to lower higher turnover among nurses.

Saks, M. (1995). Professions and the Public Interest: Medical Power, Altruism, and Alternative Medicine. Psychology Press. Print.

This was an interesting article which I thought would be beneficial for exploring the emotional aspects of diabetes and how children may better cope with the required lifestyle changes.
