Question

Nursing’s primary focus is on the promotion of wellness and disease prevention. In this assignment you will develop and implement a patient educational brochure to educate your patient on the nutritional considerations of a specific disease process. Use any type of publisher software you choose to create your brochure.Information must be in the form of a patient educational brochure.

Develop an instructional brochure on the nutritional aspects of one of the disorders below:
- Type 2 Diabetes
Include in your brochure all points below:
- Explanation of the pathophysiology of the disorder. Provide 4 risk factors OR 4 symptoms of the disorder.
- Two common medications used for the disorder. Explain how medications work to treat the disorder. Include 3 nutritional considerations for each medication.
- Identify an evidence-based diet to prevent or reduce the incidence of the disorder.
  - Include at least 3 specific foods that should be included in the diet, provide rational for why foods should be included in the diet for this disease process.
  - Include at least 3 specific foods that should be avoided in the diet, provide rational for why the foods should be excluded from the diet for disease process.
    - Examples of Evidence-based diets:
      - Dash diet
      - Mediterranean diet
      - Low carb diet
      - Low sodium diet
      - Low fat diet
      - Modified fiber and bland diet
      - Protein restricted
      - High protein diet
- Include the information for at least 2 patient resources. One resource on the evidence-based diet and 1 resource on the disorder. Include name of organization and URL for the citation.
- Include images or clipart to support your information. Trifold brochure should look professional.
- Include at least 2 evidence-based references (less than 5 years old) included in your brochure to support your information. Proper use of in-text citations and references in APA Style.

Pathophysiology
	Type 2 diabetes mellitus is one of the most common types of metabolic disorder which is caused by the combination of two factors. The first factor is the defective secretion of insulin of pancreatic β-cells. The other primary factor which leads to the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus is the inability of the tissues which are sensitive to insulin to appropriately respond to the insulin that has been released by the pancreatic β-cells. The release and activities of insulin are extremely essential for glucose homeostasis. Therefore, a problem involved in the mechanisms of synthesis as well as the release of insulin along with in detecting the released insulin can lead to a metabolic imbalance. This is primarily because these two mechanisms are intricately regulated. As a result of this metabolic imbalance arising from the problems in the mechanisms, the disorder of type 2 diabetes mellitus is caused.
Risk Factors and Symptoms
	There are several risk factors or symptoms associated with type 2 diabetes, due to the elevation of the blood sugar levels in the body. The four risk factors are heredity or family history, presence of more fatty tissues, decreased rate of activities, and high blood pressure (Bellou, Belbasis, Tzoulaki & Evangelou, 2018). Heredity or family history is one of the leading risk factors for the development of type 2 diabetes in the future generation. In addition to that, the presence of more fatty tissues, that is, extreme weight gain can reduce the sensitivity of the body to insulin, by creating a resistance to the produced insulin. Increased activity is beneficial for a number of reasons. A high rate of activity can control weight effectively, thereby utilizing glucose optimally. This will also result in increased response to the insulin produced by the body, thereby decreasing the risk of acquiring type 2 diabetes mellitus. There is a direct link between increased blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. 
There are a number of symptoms of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The four prominent symptoms of type 2 diabetes are polydipsia or increased thirst, polyurea or increased rate or frequency of urination (especially at night), unexplained weight loss as well as slow healing of sores and infections.  
Medications
	The two medications that are mostly used for the purpose of treating type 2 diabetes mellitus are Metformin and Glinides (Okemah, Peng & Quiñones, 2018). Metformin is the most common use medication which is used for treating type 2 diabetes.
