Diabetes is a disease that effects patients all over the world but has hit the citizens of the
United States in large numbers. Type two diabetes effects and estimated 30 million people in
the United States. This condition is a common condition that we must be aware of and
familiar with proper screening once symptoms of diabetes are identified to provide our
patients with the best treatment plan. Screening aims at early detection of diabetes to treat
and prevent complications from diabetes. Screening tools for diabetes include a fasting
glucose, A1c, and glucose tolerance testing. It is important to ensure patients understand the
risk factors for diabetes and prevention steps they can take to avoid diabetes. If a patient is
diagnosed with diabetes, it is an excellent opportunity for patient education and a chance for
the practitioner to implement changes that can improve diabetes type two and even
possible with the right interventions reverse a diabetes diagnosis (Vasavada & Taub, 2021).
The goal of treatment of diabetes type 2 is to control diabetes to avoid complications
of diabetes such as organ damage or other morbidities. The US Preventative Services Task
Force recommends screening for diabetes for patients 40-70 years old, and or overweight.
Risk factors for diabetes include hypertension, coronary vascular disease, obesity, first degree relative with diabetes, and high-risk ethnicity-African American, Latino, Native
American, Asian American, Pacific Islander. Other patient factors to include would be history
of gestational diabetes or Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. It is essential to identify diabetes
type two early on to aid the patient in making changes to irradiate the diabetes or to prevent
the complications that can arise from diabetes (Vasavada & Taub, 2021).
