Introduction
The research project which will be carried out here will be done on the topic of Diabetes,
which is one of the major and increasing issues in the United Kingdom. Diabetes is being
defined as the group of problems or disease that makes an impact on the health of a person
because of the high access of sugar in the individual's blood. In order to make a reduction in
the case of diabetes in the United Kingdom, proper evaluation is being done regarding
increment in the case, analysis will also take place in relation to cause or reason of the
problem as well as proper discussion will also be done regarding the diabetes symptoms in
order to aware people about the prevention and aspects from the diabetes. In this report, there
will be a detailed discussion in regards with the proper information of diabetes as well as
several related aspects that will support in the prevention of the problem in order to make an
increase in the life quality of a person. For all such reasons, there is the requirement to make
the promotion of the ill effects that are being caused by diabetes in the society in order to
aware people and to make provision of safety from disease. For the much better
understanding, there will be a selection of an association of United Kingdom with the aim to
aware people about diabetes and its influences. In this research project, there will also be a
collection of the data from the respondents which will support in making a valid conclusion.

Chapter 1 – Research Proposal and Short Literature Review
A) Topic: To analyze the influence of Diabetes on the life of an individual
Introduction
Diabetic is one of the most common and growing diseases among the individuals that are
destroying their lives in one or another way. It is very significant to have a proper
understanding of the problems so that there can be a reduction of the problem and people can
live standard life by having proper knowledge and information (Bayramoglu et. al., 2014).
Aim:
The crucial aim for the purpose of doing this research in the sector of health and social care is
to make analysis in regards with the distinct aspects and factors related with the problem of
diabetes with the reason to make reduction in the influence of disease and to make
improvement in the life quality of United Kingdom's people. The research aims in analyzing
the measures, symptoms, and causes for prevention of the problem and to aware people with
the precautions which will support in preventing a person from the issues caused by the
disease.
Objective:
Objectives can be termed as the set of goals which will be needed to attain by making
execution of the program. The research objectives are done on the basis of the prevention of
diabetes with the aim to make a reduction in the cases of the disease in the United Kingdom.
The major objective of the research can be defined as follows:
 To make analysis in regards with diabetes' symptoms so as to aware people
 To make an evaluation regarding the causes of diabetes in the United Kingdom
 To make analysis in regards with the measures so as to make prevention of diabetes as
well as precautions that will support in safeguarding
Research Questions
The research questions are being defined as the queries or questions that are developing in a
sector. For the purpose of meeting issues and to make identification in regards to the solution
to face issues are very significant for the researchers to make framing of questions. These are
described as follows:
4

 What are the symptoms of diabetes?
 What are the causes of diabetes in the United Kingdom?
 What measures and precautions are there in regards to diabetes?
The rationale of the study
With the aim to make provision of the distinct aspects of the problems and its influence on
the United Kingdom, an association of the nation is chosen that offer different services to the
patients who are suffering from diabetes is named as ‘Novo Nordisk'. A healthcare company
with a global presence was founded in the year 1923. Headquarter of the company is there in
Denmark. The aim of the organization is to make an increase in device and services of
diabetes in order to safeguard people. ‘Novo Nordisk foundation’ a charitable association is
also making services with the aim to give support to the research of diabetes (Becerra &
Becerra, 2015).

Importance of the study
The research which is being done on the topic i.e. impact of diabetes on the life of a person is
very significant as the provision of the guidance will be there to carry out the work in an
appropriate and effective manner. This kind of study will give support to the learner to what
are the precautions and symptoms of diabetes which will be essential for the people in the
society to get proper awareness.
The research study will be carried out with the support of the investigator as the person will
be making identification of the several factors which will be significant for the individuals so
as to have proper care.
The study will also be helpful for the various other researchers who want to make an
investigation in regards to the same topic in the future. The study will also be significant for
the societal, work-related and academic purpose.
The particular topic has been selected as the diabetes is increasing among the people day by
day and it is very significant to make them aware for the same so that prevention can be done
at the early stages.

Research Methodology
Research approaches are being defined as the manner with the support of which investigators
will do a study for the purpose of understanding reliability and effectiveness of the work.
Two approaches are there, which can be defined as follows:
 Inductive Approach: This is being defined as the method where investigators will
study with the support of the available information in relation with the selected topic
and then the wide and broad aspect of information and research will be done. Firstly
the specific observation will be done, secondly, pattern and measure to conduct study
will be formed, and in the last, the framing of the hypothesis will be done and in the
last conclusion for the theory will be given (Care Quality Commission, 2012).
 Deductive approach: In this kind of approach, the performance of study will be done
regarding the general aspect in a more precise and specific manner. Theories will be
taken into consideration and after that hypothesis will be formed and in the last, there
will be performance regarding observation of the study. Confirmation of the data and
information will also be done.
In this report, there will the selection of the inductive approach for the methods of research. It
is very suitable and effective for a research as it will support researchers to achieve proper
results of the study and defined objectives and aims will also be achieved. The inductive
approach will be suitable as it supports researchers to collect needed data and information.
Research questions will also be answered in an appropriate manner (Cooper et. al., 2012).

Ethical Consideration
The most significant thing that must be taken into consideration by the researchers is that the
performance of the study which will be performed will not make any negative impact on the
individuals of society. It is important to conduct a proper research with the support of the
consent and permission of the people of the study. The study must not give harm to any kind
of ethical beliefs and values of the people.
The collection of information, as well as data by the researchers, need to be protected. This is
considered as the vital part of the report. The information needs to be at the safe place so that
the value and importance of study can be pertained to appropriately by the researchers. It is
significant for the researchers to have a record of all the information from where the
collection of data is done (Dixon-Woods et. al., 2013). This will help researchers in addition
to all the other people to know the importance of every aspect of the study. The replication of
others work must not be there in the research and proper study should be done by an
investigator.
Limitations and delimitation of the study
Limitation in the research is considered as the constraints which are making an issue while
carrying out the project. Some limitation is there which are faced by researchers, they are:
 Time: It is one of the critical aspects that develop a problem. Time is a very
significant factor and the study must be completed in the given time.
 Cost: Another significant element is the financial factor which needs to be managed.
With the proper specification of the budget, research will be carried out in an
appropriate manner.
 Support of management: There are many situations when proper support from the
high management and authority is not there. This thing makes an impact on
researchers to carry research inappropriate way (Galegher et. al., 2013).

B)
The resource efficiencies are the totally in line with the hypotheses and questions of the
research. In this research, the hypothesis is considered to be an idea or explanation which is
tested through experimentation and study. Outside this research, a guess or assumption can
also be referred to as a hypothesis. The hypothesis is something which is more than an
assumption but less than a deep-rooted philosophy. For this research, the hypothesis and
questions are required to go through numerous testing before it becomes a considered theory
(White, 2017). The prime hypothesis on which this research is developed comprises of the
following:
H1: Diabetes is having a direct impact on the life of an individual
H2: Diabetes is the chronic disease for which mechanism of circumstance demands the
patient self-management.
Literature Review
Impact of diabetes
As per Blak et. al., (2012), diabetes is one of the complex groups of a syndrome that may
appear in a person because of various reasons. Different kinds of diseases are there that
makes an influence on the life quality of a person. It is a most common problem and is
spreading at a fast speed. It can be defined as the condition when an individual's body is not
able to make utilization of sugar or glucose as a fuel. It makes an impact on the body's sugar
level of a person. There are different problems related to the disease on the health of a person.
The major cause of the problem is due to an improper amount of insulin in an individual's
body and inappropriate ability regarding the utilization of insulin. It is considered as the
condition of long-term that makes the development of high blood level of sugar in a person. It
is also defined as the disorder of metabolism that makes a large impact on the life of people.
Metabolism can be termed as the way or manner utilized by the body of a person who digests
food for the purpose of gaining growth and energy. According to Gupta and Gupta, (2013),
everything which is eaten up by a person breaks down in the glucose which is considered as
the sugar form presented in the blood that acts like a fuel in a body. Three types of diabetes
are there, which is having a different kind of symptoms. Three forms of diabetes are type 1,
type 2 and gestational diabetes. All these types are having a distinct influence on health. In
10

order to prevent a person, there is a requirement to spread awareness in the society regarding
the disease as the individuals are not able to make identification of disease.
Cause of diabetes
Type 1: It is diabetes where there is a lack of insulin that results in the destruction of cells
which makes the production of beta cells in the pancreas. It also spread up due to heredity
when the disorder or the disease passes from one generation to the other. Other reasons make
the inclusion of an unidentified element, viral infection, and bacteria that causes an
autoimmune reaction.
Type 2: This kind of diabetes is caused because of the involvement of the one or more cause.
Due to this disease, people get obese, live a sedentary lifestyle, bad habits and age get
increased and in the other cases, there may be the inclusion of illness or pregnancy (Ho et. al.,
2016).
Cause of gestational diabetes could be due to the history of the family, overweight or obese,
heavyweight baby above 9lb, the presence of polycystic ovary syndrome.
Symptoms of diabetes
There are various symptoms of diabetes which can be defined as follows:
 Intense hunger
 Irritability
 Frequent urination
 Weight gain
 Disproportionate thirst
 Unusual loss of weight
 Itchy skin
 Yeast or skin infection
 Bruises and cuts take time to heal quickly or properly
 Increased fatigue
11

 Frequent gum infection or disease
 Numbness in hands and feet
Measures for prevention
 Manage weight
 Quit smoking
 Limit intake of alcohol
 Control blood pressure
 Have regular checkups
 Make a reduction in the risk of cardiovascular disease (Jonietz, 2012)

Chapter 3: Analysis
Research evaluation techniques:
Formative evaluation technique- This technique provides data which helps to improve the
research. Formative evaluation starts when a research is undertaken with an objective to
accomplish the aims and objectives of the research. Formative evaluation often imparts itself
to the qualitative methods of investigation.
Summative evaluation techniques-Goal of the summative technique is to prove. The
summative evaluation takes place in the course of the research and even after it. This
evaluation is linked with more objective, measurable (quantitative) approaches (Hart, 2018)
This research is developed by using both the formative and the summative evaluation
technique so that both qualitative and quantitative data can be considered in this research and
reliable conclusions can be drawn. Both the techniques will result in the save of time and
reduce the overall expense of the research.

Recommendations
To manage diabetes efficaciously, patients must learn regarding their sickness to be capable
to take day-to-day decisions individually. Intervention strategies must be planned which
allow the patients to make better decisions about their objectives, healing options, and self-
care performances and to undertake responsibility for day-to-day diabetes care are effective
in assisting patients carefulness. Diabetes self-management training must be given to the
individuals as self-management training has been measured as a significant part of medical
management. It is important that the medical experts must provide education on the cures
available for diabetes. Education regarding patient empowerment must be given. Education
should at first communicate important information and assistance family and the patient
sorrow, so they can then take on the different challenges.

the United Kingdom due to which there is a negative impact on their day to day life. Diabetes
is one of the most increasing diseases now a day's among the people and is caused due to a
high level of sugar and stress. In this video, there will be the presentation in regards with the
37

aims and objectives of the project and analysis of the data will also be there that will support
in making a valid conclusion.
The main aim of the research is to make a proper analysis of the symptoms, measures as well
as factors that cause diabetes among the individuals. The aim is also to make people aware
regarding the precautions of the disease so that they will have proper information and
knowledge. Apart from this, there are several objectives also which needs to be fulfilled. As
per the objectives, proper analysis will be done in regards to the symptoms of the disease as
well as its causes. Several measures will also be identified so that diabetes can get prevented
and safeguarding can be provided to people.
Several research questions are also made in this report and as per the questions, what
symptoms, causes, and measures are there in regards to diabetes. These questions must be
answered in a proper manner so that effective outcomes and results can be made.
The conduct of this study is also important for various people like for the future researchers
who want to make research on the same topic and wants to make use of secondary data. That
time, this research will be useful to them. The research will also be important for the people
in the society as the prevention will be given to them and they will get aware about the
information of disease also.
For the proper conduct of the research, two approaches are being used like an inductive and
deductive approach. As per the inductive approach, already made and available researches are
being used for the analysis and as per the deductive approach, new research will be done for
the analysis. In this particular research, the inductive approach will be used with the aim to
make a proper analysis.
The timeline is also prepared so as to carry out the project in an effective and essential
manner. Firstly the plan will be made for carrying out research after that implementation will
be done, data will be collected for further analysis, proper analysis will be done and
recommendations and a conclusion will be made.
As per the collected data, it has been analyzed that it is very necessary to keep the blood
sugar normal so as to avoid symptoms and complication of the disease which will be
supportive for the people to carry their life in an appropriate manner.
38

The conclusion can be made from the study that, it is very necessary to aware people
regarding diabetes so that life of the people will not get impacted and they can live a good life
without having any kind of problem.
39

Conclusion
