The purpose of this article is to review and evaluate two recent studies, published within the last 5 years, on diabetes associated with other risk factors. One article provided information on sudden cardiac death in diabetics. The second article assessed trends in the incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) among people diagnosed with diabetes in the United States (Burrows et al. 2010). Diabetes mellitus is linked to risk of cardiovascular disease, sudden cardiac arrest, and death (Forslund et al. Among people affected by sudden cardiac death, almost half had at least one risk factor for cardiovascular disease ( Forslund et al. 2010). According to Forslund et al (2010), these sudden deaths could have been significantly reduced if they had been treated effectively. Thus, this study was implemented to examine how preventive measures had been implemented. for people with diabetes mellitus, as documented in their medical records (Forslund et al. 2010), an additional objective was to evaluate the documentation and procedures used in the management of diabetics. (Forslund et al. 2010). Documentation in the medical records of people with diabetes was collected, reviewed, and analyzed using qualitative and quantitative methods. methods (Forslund et al. 2010). To reduce the large number of data, the sampling years were limited to 2003–2005, resulting in 56 people who died of sudden cardiac arrest being diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. According to this study sample, 2 people had type I diabetes and 54 had type II diabetes (Forslund et al. 2010). Subjects' medical reports were evaluated based on documentation of care provided during the year preceding each individual's sudden cardiac death (Forslund et al. 201...... middle of article... ...longer durations of diabetes and greater risk of developing ESRD (Burrows et al. 2010 In conclusion, overall for both studies, to prevent complications and premature death, more is needed. than simply asking questions about the patient's lifestyle, angina symptoms, diet and nutrition, etc. (Forslund et al. 2010). people with diabetes in their own care and thus improve the prognosis (Forslund et al. 2010) and reduce the incidence of ESRD, for example. Improving diabetes care and raising awareness of risk factors for kidney disease in diabetics may be a key factor (Burrows et al. 2010. Ultimately, diabetes prevention and better diabetes management will likely help. partly to prevent kidney disease, ESRD and sudden cardiac arrest.
