Management of type 2 diabetes

Sladkorna bolezen je presnovna bolezen, ki v svetu iz leta v leto vse bolj narašča. O bolezni je na voljo veliko informacij, vendar kljub temu bolezni ne moremo preprečiti ali je pozdraviti. Bolnikom pa lahko v veliki meri pomagamo pri njihovem obvladovanju bolezni in preprečevanju zapletov, če imajo za to dovolj volje in motivacije. Namen diplomskega dela je predstaviti sladkorno bolezen tipa 2 in se seznaniti z zdravljenjem in zapleti. Predstavili bomo cilje za obvladovanje bolezni povzete iz nacionalnega programa za obvladovanje SB2. Prikazali bomo rezultate glede na izvedeno raziskavo, v katero je bilo vključenih 50 bolnikov ki obiskujejo Specialistično internistično in diabetološko ambulanto Marte Simonič, dr. med. spec. Internist, Zgornja Hajdina. Raziskava je bila izvedena s pomočjo ankete z 24 vprašanji od katere je bilo 15 vprašanj zaprtega tipa in 9 odprtega tipa. Z raziskavo smo ugotovili, da anketirani bolniki dobijo dovolj informacij o sladkorni bolezni z vidika medicinskega osebja in od medijev. Anketirani bolniki tudi poznajo vrednosti krvnega sladkorja in zaplete sladkorne bolezni. Anketirani bolniki še nimajo zapletov sladkorne bolezni, saj so večinoma motivirani za upoštevanje nasvetov za obvladovanje bolezni in so mnenja, da je njihova bolezen dobro obvladovana. Sladkorna bolezen tipa 2 je kronična bolezen, ki zahteva trajno zdravljenje, zato bi si moral vsak bolnik položiti na srce zavest, da je za svojo bolezen v prvi vrsti odgovoren sam, in se zavedati, da mu zdravnik in medicinska sestra pri njegovi bolezni lahko svetujeta in nudita zdravstveno oskrbo.Diabetes is a metabolic disease which has been increasing from year to year.

The research showed that the patients who participated in the survey get enough information about diabetes from medical personnel and from the media. They are also familiar with the values for the blood sugar and with the complications of diabetes. The patients who participated in the survey do not suffer from complications yet because they are motivated for following the advices for disease management and they believe that their disease is well controlled. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic illness which requires permanent treatment. That is why every patient should be well aware that every individual is responsible for his disease and that the doctor and other medical staff can offer them advice and medical treatment
