PDHPE Assessment Task 4
DIABETES
Emma FitzgeraldMr Zakris
1. Explain the nature of the medical condition
• Diabetes can be broken into two separate forms:
• Type One Diabetes (or insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus)
• Type Two Diabetes (or non-insulin dependant diabetes mellitus)
Insulin pumps used for administrating insulin to
people with type one diabetes
The healthy eating pyramid which people with type 2 diabetes should follow to help achieve a balanced
diet.
Type One Diabetes
• Types one diabetes is usually a genetic condition developed as an early child.
• It is an insulin dependent diabetes.
• When a person suffers type on diabetes the pancreas looses the ability to produce insulin and therefore the person must inject insulin manually into their body regularly in order to stay alive, either by pump or insulin injections.
The way the insulin pump is used.
• When the pancreas does not produce insulin, a person may develop two types of conditions:
• Hypoglycaemia- too little sugar in the blood which leads to the blood sugar level being below the average level of:
-4 to 7mmol/l before meals. -<10mmol/l one to two hours after meals. -About 8mmol/l at night time.
• Hyperglycaemia-too much sugar in the blood which leads to high blood sugar levels. A blood sugar reading of 15-20mmol/L or more is considered a ‘high’ (too much sugar in the blood)
• Type One Diabetes can only be controlled by insulin injections.
Cont…
An extremely low reading
Type Two Diabetes• Type two diabetes frequently occurs later in life (often people aged 30 and over).
• Again, the pancreas is not producing insulin for the body’s blood sugar levels. It can be prevented or controlled by a healthy lifestyle such as eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly to lose weight.
2.Indentify the signs and symptoms associated with
the condition. SIGNS of Type One Diabetes:
•Nausea/vomiting
•Rapid breathing
•Fruity breath odour
•Shallow breathing
•Skin cold pale and moist
•Rapid pulse
• SYMPOTOMS of Type One Diabetes:
Frequent passing of Urine
Increased thirst
Weight Loss Tiredn
ess
Mood changesLight headed/dizzinessExcessive
hunger with no weight gain
•Recognition of a person who is:Hypoglycaemia Hyperglycaemia
Weak, light headed or dizzy
Drowsiness
Confused, disoriented
Thirst
May appear drunk Breath smells like nail polish remover
May be aggressive
Increased urine output
Skin may be cold, pale and moist
Reduced level of consciousness
Rapid pulse
Shallowing breathing
Reduced level of consciousness
• SYMPTOMS of Type two Diabetes:
Increased urination
Fatigue
Increased Thirst
Blurred Vision
More frequent infections
Sores that don’t heal
Numbness
Dry Itchy Skin
3.Apply current Management techniques for the
condition• Type One Diabetes:
• If the casualty is suffering a ‘LOW’ from not having enough sugar in the blood (hypoglycaemia) the techniques
include:
• IF UNCONSCIOUS:1. Check for DANGER to yourself, the
casualty and any bystanders.2. Check for a response by using the COWS
method.3. Roll the casualty into the recovery
position and check and clear the airway.
1. Lie the victim back onto their back and check if they are breathing by the look, listen and feel method.
2. If they are breathing place them in the recovery position and call an ambulance. Monitor their breathing and level of consciousness until the ambulance comes.
3. If they are NOT breathing- give them two rescue breaths and begin compressions at a rate of 2 breaths to every 30 compressions.
4. Use deliberator if available and call an ambulance.
• IF CONSCIOUS:1. Check for DANGER to yourself, the casualty and any
bystanders.2. Give the casualty sweet food or drink (not
diabetic, diet or sugar free drinks) to quickly raise their
blood sugar level. 3. Call OOO for an ambulance.4. Keep providing the sweets every fifteen minutes or until medical aid arrives.

• If the casualty is suffering a ‘HIGH’ from having too much sugar in the blood
(hyperglycaemia) the techniques include:
• IF UNCONSCIOUS:1. Check for DANGER to yourself, the casualty and any
bystanders.2. Lie the casualty in the recovery position and check
clear airway (if necessary).3. Lie the casualty back on their back and check if
they are breathing by the look, listen and feel method.
4. If they are breathing place them in the recovery position and call an ambulance. Monitor their breathing and level of consciousness until the ambulance comes.
5. If they are NOT breathing- give them two rescue breaths and begin compressions at a rate of 2 breaths to every 30 compressions.
6. Use deliberator is available and call an ambulance.
Cont…
• IF CONSCIOUS:1. Check for DANGER to yourself, the
casualty and any bystanders.2. Do NOT give them any sweet food or drink
.3. Allow the victim to administer their
insulin and only assist if required.4. Call OOO5. Monitor them and if required give them
water to drink.

• Management techniques for : Type Two Diabetes:
The management techniques and prevention of Type 2 Diabetes can include:
• Eating a balanced diet- this includes eating plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables, lean meats, chicken, whole grain breads and low fat dairy products. The meals eaten need to meet the calorie level of their physical activity levels. Food should be distributed throughout the day in small portions. Carbohydrate counting is a appropriate method of dietary control.
• Participating in regular exercise- exercise
helps process glucose. It also decreases the amount of body fat making it easier on the heart and easier to breathe.It also, lowers blood glucose levels.
Cont…
• Taking oral medications- these help the body to produce more insulin. Some also control the level of glucose in the body. Some of these include:
-Sulfonylureas-Biguanides-Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors-Thiazolindinediones-Meglitinides
