Diabetes Mellitus Teaching Plan
It goes without saying that United States is one of the developed countries in the world,
with major advances in the health care sector. Despite this progress in the health care sections,
diabetes remains a major burden to the American population. The specific type of diabetes in this
case is Diabetes Mellitus. The Center for Disease Control currently estimates that over 17.0
million individuals in United States have diabetes. This represents 6.2 % of the total population.
Out of the 17.0 million diabetes affected individuals, 11.1 are the only diagnosed ones and 5.9
million individuals remain undiagnosed. In regards to the age groups, approximately 151,00
people who are less than 20 years already have diabetes. For those individuals who are above 20
years, they total close to 7.0 million (DeFronzo et al., 2015). What this means is that the older
individuals are at a higher risk of acquiring diabetes as compared to the younger generation. This
teaching plan will target both the young generation as well as the folder generation but with more
emphasis to the older generation.
The Identified Learning Need
Undoubtedly, the diabetes patients need the well laid learning needs. The existing
learning needs lay more emphasis on the management of the patients glucose levels as well as in
the prevention of the complications that may result from diabetes. These learning needs in a way
are complex involving various acts such as the monitoring of the blood glucose levels, planning
on the best diet, right medications, skin care as well as the knowledge on the ways of managing
hypo/hyperglycemic episodes. The truth is that many individuals in U.S are time to time
diagnosed with diabetes and many of these people are unware that they suffer from the disease.
Those who are aware, they lack the knowledge that lifestyle change is vital especially when it
TEACHING PLAN
comes to the nutrition sectors as well as the physical activity. Undeniably, this is where the gap
lays; there is the need to make a change in the way of living. Lifestyle change is so vital in the
fight against diabetes. It is with this saying that the main goal for this teaching plan is the
provision of knowledge to the patients for them to make self-driven behavioral changes in
regards to the management of diabetes.
Teaching Plan Objectives: Behavioral
1. Each Patient needs to comprehend the diabetic medications and learn on how to properly
take them.
2. Each patient needs to show a proper demonstration of both the skin and foot care
3. Each patient needs to have the skills to perform the self-monitoring of blood glucose via
the usage of glucose meter.
4. Each patient needs to understand and describe the regular exercise benefits
5. Each patient needs to tell on how the regular exercises helps in improving the blood
glucose control.
Teaching Plan
The overall objective of this teaching planning is in the end to make the patients make
their own well educational lifestyle informed decisions; the decisions that may make positive
impacts on their health and promote a stable blood sugar. Different treatment approaches are
required for every patient. Some of these specific approaches include:
A specific food plan for each patient
Education in regards to the nutrition therapy
3
TEACHING PLAN
Mutual agreement based on the long-term as well as the short term goals in regards to
lifestyle changes
This teaching plan is to lay emphasis on the need for complying with the set treatment
program. More importantly, the teaching plan is tailored to address the patients needs, their
abilities as well as the developmental stage. The teaching plan should stress the importance of
complying with the prescribed treatment program. According to American Diabetes Association.
(2010), the teaching plan targeting the diabetes patients needs to include aspects such as the diet,
hygiene, exercise, and the possible adverse effects as well hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia
detection and treatment
It is worth noting that this teaching plan majors at helping the newly diagnosed diabetes
patients as well as those patients who see the need of reviewing the concept of diabetes
management. One important aspect about diabetes management is that it requires frequent
educational and nutritional advice coupled with regular reviews and modifications as the diseases
progresses. The teaching plan is an education program designed to help patients with newly
diagnosed diabetes or patients who need a review of concepts for managing their diabetes. It is
with this saying that this teaching plan will involve education to the patients, in this case, a one
on one education with regular office visits.
This teaching plan is also tailored to meet the patients needs. This will be for those patients
attending the classes. It is also tailored in a way that it well fits the patients abilities, their styles
or learning as well as their developmental stages. The teaching plan also involves the
combination of the lecture notes, PowerPoint presentations as well as the demonstrations.

Quick Overview of Diabetes
There is the need for the diabetes patients to fully understand what diabetes is all about.
Those individuals who understand diabetes fully more comply with the prescribed regimen.
Diabetes Mellitus results from the deficiency in insulin levels. This may result from either less
5
TEACHING PLAN
insulin production or even from insulin resistance (DeFronzo et al., 2015). Diabetes requires a
lifestyle change specifically in the nutrition and the physical activity fields. Nutritional therapist
helps the diabetes patients to make self-driven behavioral changes for the improvement of their
health.
Medications and Insulin
In terms of medication, the diabetic patient requires to have a constant reminder whereby
they are kept up to date or reminded that the addition of medication in attempts to manage their
condition is not as a result of them failing at management of diet. A lot of patients who have
diabetes begin to have depression and stress when it comes to that part of the medication process
or treatment process where they need to start taking oral hyperglycemic mediations as well as
insulin. The educational or training session should incorporate an overall or even an in-depth
review or analysis of the different types of oral agents of diabetes. In addition to this, there
should be a consideration of a review that includes the various types of insulins as well as how
they should be mixed. This discussion can be held individually per patient or as a group.
Learning as a group is however advisable since it means that the patients get to understand more
from experiences of different patients.
In this session, the patients can also be taught about the dynamics of self-administration
of Insulin not to forget the oral agents as prescribed by the physician. Apart from this the patients
should be taken through the importance and benefits of following the prescription to the letter.
Finally, there should be a provision of the signs as well as symptoms of hypoglycemia,
hyperglycemia and the actions that need to be taken when it comes to these conditions.
Complications from Diabetes
6
TEACHING PLAN
When we talk about the complications that arise as a result of diabetes, the discussion of
blood glucose on the long-term health of an individual is inevitable. The basis of this topic
should be to teach the patients how to manage their diabetic conditions during the time when
they have minor illnesses like the flu. Additionally, a thing that should be taken into
consideration a lot is teaching the patients how they can watch the diabetic effects related to the
cardiovascular system. In this case, it may include stroke, peripheral vascular disease, and
coronary artery disease. Another thing in this sector that the patients should be taught about is
how they can improve and become more alert for urinary tract signs, infections of the respiratory
tract, as well as renal disease signs. Assessment and evaluation of the signs of diabetic
neuropathy should not be left out in the teaching plan. According to statistics and epidemiology,
diabetes makes up the number on cause of death by disease in the United States (Napoli, 2017).
As if this is not bad enough, it also acts as a contributor in about 50% of myocardial infarction as
well as about 75% of strokes.
Other topics that should be highlighted in the patient education include the importance of
smoking cessation, lipid and cholesterol management, monitoring of blood pressure and finally,
the management of other processes of the disease. Including education regarding skin and foot
care is also important as it helps the diabetic patients to learn how they can care for their feet
through washing them on a daily basis. After washing them, the patients should be taken through
the process of drying them carefully and making sure the areas between the toes are well dried.
The education should also cover how the patients should look out for features on the legs such as
redness, corns, swelling or even calluses. Educators should be focused on encouraging the
patients to always report to their physician when they realize any changes. Advice regarding
footwear should include telling or motivating the patients to wear shoes that are non-constricting
7
TEACHING PLAN
and to ensure that they understand the dangers that may be associated with walking barefoot.
Foot fungal infections are a factor that is usually associated with these kinds of patients.
Therefore, the education should involve the dynamics involved in treating fungal growth on the
feet of these patients. With the development and lack of improvement of the condition of
athletes foot, the patients should never hesitate on reporting this to their health providers. It is
also important to make sure that the patients are fully reminded to treat injuries blisters, cuts and
other forms of infection bound occurrences (Napoli, 2017).
Most patients tend to panic when they discover that they have foot problems. However,
this should not be the case because it has been proven that such problems are common for
diabetic patients. It is an important thing to make it clear to the patients that this is a common
occurrence when it comes to diabetes. The patients should therefore be taught how to handle the
condition in order to improve their reaction upon realization. In addition to this, there should be a
segment of the teaching where the patients are taught on how to observe, assess and monitor the
development of these problems.
Exercise and Diabetes
It has been known that hypertension, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia is improved by a
moderate loss of weight of 10 to 20 pounds. When it comes to body weight, a diabetic patient
should have a goal or a target that revolves around the healthy or reasonable body weight of a
person. This is of course based on the height and body poise. Currently, there has been more
emphasis as well as focus towards the waist circumference. In this case, experts regard a waist
circumference that is greater than is 40 inches and 35 inches greater in men and women
respectively is an indication of risk in the metabolic disease (DeFronzo et al., 2015. When this is
put into the right perspective, it is now what is referred to as metabolic syndrome. Another fact
8
TEACHING PLAN
here is that the reduction in abdominal fat helps in the improvement of insulin sensitivity and
lipid profiles.
The program for the patients should also include considerable number of warm-up as well as
cool-down sessions. The function of the warm-up session is to prevent injury of the muscle and
to increase core body temperature. On the other hand, the cool down session should be employed
in order to prevent the pooling of blood in the extremities. It also enhances or facilitates
metabolic by-products removal.
Diet and Diabetes
There are nutritional guidelines which have been established and laid forward by the
American Diabetes Association (ADA). The main focus of this association is to achieve the
optimal outcomes of metabolism which are related to glycemia, blood pressure levels and lipid
profiles. The guide should teach the patients that they require having maintenance of a healthy
diet whereby all food groups are well represented (Napoli, 2017. The ADA exchange diet
includes milk, fruit, bread, low and intermediate carbohydrate vegetables, and protein. The
teaching plan should also have a food plan that is basically based on the appetite of the patients
as well as the preference of food in consideration to the culture and activities of patients.
Coping with Diabetes
The teaching plan should help the patient understand that diabetes mellitus can be
unexpected and potentially devastating. The first and the most common reaction of the patients
include grieving. There are various variables or factors which can be associated with the
resolution of grief. These include geographical location, education, cultural, and religious factors
as well as economics. The section that should be formulated here for the teaching plan should
target the patients as well as their families and friends. The patients should be encouraged by the
9
TEACHING PLAN
teaching plan that it is not the end of the world while the patients should be other group of people
should be taught how to live with diabetic people. This is because the disease will require a
certain kind of commitment towards changing the situation into a better one.
