TITLE- To identify and evaluate diabetes mellitus.
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview of research
In this present scenario, Diabetes in people is spreading at a fast pace in all across the
world. It is a serious disease which affects the human organs like for an instance eye blindness,
kidney and some other diseases. This disease mainly arises because of consuming high level of
sugar in the more blood glucose, increasing urination, fatigue, weight loss etc. It is a metabolic
disease under which the people have a high blood sugar. Basically, it is of two different kinds i.e.
Type 1 and Types 2 diabetes. But it is noticed that many of the persons suffer with diabetes of
Type 2. The Type 1 of diabetes is raised from early stage of childhood and it is basically a
genetic disease and it can be spoiled fully but not controllable at one time (Cooper and et. al.,
2011). When in a human body produce the minimum insulin in pancreas then in this case the
Type 2 of diabetes is emerged. The National Health and Service is a publicly funded health and
social care system which provides the health care services to people. It provides many services in
which includes long term health acre, dentistry, in- patient care, ophthalmology and also primary
care. Government provides the money or funds to this organisation so that it can provide the
better as well as good quality of services to the people. In United Kingdom the Type 2 of
diabetes disease are more an large number of people suffering from Diabetes disease.
1.2 Significance of research
This research project is based on the topic of identification and evaluation diabetes
mellitus in health and social care. In this modern time, many people are suffer from the disease
Types 1 along with the Type 2 of diabetes (Hu, 2011). So, in context to this, it is necessary for
the researcher to find out the different various methods as well as tools to control the diabetes or
reduce its impact on individuals.
1.3 Research Aims and Objectives
An Aim of research is To identify and evaluate diabetes mellitus. The research
objectives for the present study are given as below:
 To identify prevalence of diabetes in the United Kingdom.
 To cover all the requirements of the patients and also aware then for managing as well as
controlling this disease in a proper manner.
1

 To find out the causes behind emerging the diabetes.
 To aware people regarding the reasons of arising diabetes so that they can control that in
an effective way.
 To suggest some of the best and effective practices for aware people regarding
controlling diabetes.
1.4 Research questions
 What is diabetes problems?
 What are the reasons behind diabetes emerging?
 What are the effective tools in controlling diabetes?
 What are some effective practices for aware people to control this disease?
CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Introduction
Literature review is helpful for the researcher to find out solutions in order to get over
from the disease of diabetes in an effective manner (Nitert and et. al., 2012). Generally, it is used
through which a researcher conducting an effective research regarding collection of data or
information through using the different tools of research. With the help of previous research, all
the scientists take help in order to know the main reasons behind emerging of diabetes as well as
knowing about the controlling methods. From the diabetes many other problems can be arise
such as stroke, eye problems. Nerve damage, kindly disease and many more problems.
According to this given research, the researcher of NHS develop an effective and beneficial
strategy. In addition to control the diabetes, National Health Service can take help from
scientists.
2.2 Diabetes concept
Diabetes is a rapidly emerging disease or health problem which is dispersed in quickly.
This disease can be caused through the maximum insulin not the more blood sugar. So, in
addition to this, it is easy for the researcher to find out beneficial tools and techniques for
reducing and also eliminating the diabetes in a proper way (Meex and et. al., 2010.). There are
two various kinds of diabetes and these are Type 1 diabetes and Type 2. This Type 1 diabetes
can arise from the immune system and it is caused through the genes. On the other hand the Type
2 diabetes occur from the many factor like for an instance genes and also lifestyle factors. In case
2

if reg diabetes is not in balance then in this case it can impact on the many different organs of
human body. In context to this, diabetes are of many ways like enhancing urine, increasing the
thirst, blindness and many other. The NHS organisation focus on the various objectives for
reducing an impact of this disease. Diabetes can arise many complications, problems as well as
health issues which covers the many difficulties like damage of renal, illness etc. From this cited
disease the metabolic disorder problem can arise.
According to the view point of Johnson and et. al., (2013), In United Kingdom country,
there is more unusual obesity. In this country there is almost 30% of people which are suffer
from additional fat and the diabetes problems. If firm and scientists cannot stop this disease, then
in the coming year many people will be suffered from this, in regard to this, it is necessary to the
government of United Kingdom to take some effective and appropriate actions from preventing
people from diabetes. Along with this, there are different regulatory bodies which can take
necessary efficient action for preclude obesity at large scale.
2.3 Affects of Diabetes on people
Diabetes is a situation when blood sugar level is high in an individual. This develops the
huge impact on the health of individuals. The main reason for cause of diabetes in person are bad
food habit, genetic, environmental factors etc. The main symptoms through which diabetes in
person can be determined are frequent urination and increase of hunger. To control such problem
in society NHS has take various measures. They conduct awareness programmes for society
regarding control of diabetes and provide free medical check-up to needy persons. Now, it can be
understood that, diabetes has many adverse effects on the health of individuals. Such effects are
define below:
 Effect on heart: There is hue effect of diabetes on heart. Diabetes also becomes the
reason of high blood pressure and high cholesterol which increases the risk of heart
attacks in individuals.
 Effect of diabetes on eyes: The person who are suffering from diabetes also have large
number of chance to have problems in their eyes (Kantharidis and et. al., 2011). Diabetes
also contributes eyes problems which cause swelling and leaking in the back of eye called
retina.
 Effects the kidney: Large adverse impact of diabetes on person is on their kidneys.
Diabetes is the main reason for kidney failure.
3

 Effect on nerves: Diabetes also have large number of effect on the nerves of individual.
This affects the ability of person in their bodily functions, movement and digestion. The
damage on nerves can be noticed through following factors:
- Excessive sweating
- Numbness in hands and feet
From the above discussion it is observed that, diabetes is also one of the cause due to
which an individual is suffering form many other diseases. Diabetes lowers down the capability
of person to prevent themselves from other problems. There are many different causes of
diabetes are given below as above:
Diabetes is a disease which can be arise during the more blood glucose, insulin problems,
defective insulin and many others (Keenan and et. al., 2010. This disease can be impact ion the
fatness tissues and also muscles sells which is an insulin resistance state. In context to this, there
are many reasons from which diabetes can be caused:
 In the night, urine problem increase.
 Rapidly weight reduction.
 Hidden fatigue as well as shortcomings.
 Improper and imbalancing in diet.
CHAPTER 3: RESEARCH METHODOLOGIES
3.1 Investigation type
Investigation is very necessary in order to investigate for identifying the various kinds of
research like for an instance qualitative as well as quantitative research. The qualitative research
is concerned with the data as well as figure. On the other hand, qualitative research is helpful in a
death analysis of related to the research topic (Meex and et. al., 2010). This research project
concerned with dealing to the diabetes patients in order to control as well as eliminate the
diabetes by suing the qualitative methods and technique.
3.2 Research design
In order to maintaining the workings standards, it is essential for researcher to prepare
and maintain the research design in a proper manner. In this there are three main different
strategies which are helpful in this report such as exploratory, descriptive as well as
experimental. In this research project, the descriptive research type is helpful in depth analysis.
4

3.3 Research philosophy
It will be avail an investigator or researcher in order to collecting relevant data and
information from the various different sources as well as experts. In this two types of philosophy
are used like positivism and interpretivism. In order to collecting new information and data
which is concerned with the issues related to this research project, an interpretivism philosophy
is useful.
3.4 Research Approach
It is a necessary part of this research methodologies under which inductive along with the
deductive approaches are used in order to increasing the figures and facts which are concerned
with the quantitative research as well as the statics are used under this given research (Lee and et.
al., 2013). It will be helpful in the in depth research study of different qualitative aspects for the
effective outcome.
3.5 Design method
The research theory is conviction by using different techniques and methods for meeting
up the effective outcomes. With the help of using the different technologies like positivism and
interpretivism, researcher can evaluate this. Without any kind of human premium, the positivism
logic is helpful in free analysis. On the other hand, interpretivism is according to the perception
of an individual concerned to the study.
3.6 Research techniques
Experts or researcher will realize many different instruments which can be helpful in a
business firm in order to meeting up with the various needs and aims (Nitert and et. al., 2012).
Prevent proposition is helpful in survey related to the collaboration between obesity and diabetes
in an individual and it can be determines through an inductive approach.
3.7 Methods of data collection
In this research project, there are many different considerations which are necessary in
gathering of data. There are many effective and usable devices which can be connected through
the experts. With the help of various sources such as effective techniques and optional,
researcher can collect more data. In this research collect the data or information through the
polls, observation, substantially, questionnaires and also overviews.

3.8 Ethical issues
In this research project, research investigate many different issues in order to evaluating
this in an effective manner (Pociot and et. al., 2010). In order to collect the information, research
faces several issues like time and cost. It is necessary that researcher should keep data and
information of secured and safe. The whole data will kept between researchers only for giving
the high security and safety to the patients.

CHAPTER 4: DATA ANALYSIS
To prepare the research project regarding the various kinds of aspects on order to
controlling as well as removing the diabetes problems in United Kingdom. Related to this, there
are two different methods which are used through researcher and that is quantitative and
qualitative. This part of research project is very essential in context to giving the proper and
effective direction to the all research related activities and tasks in a proper direction. It is a
necessary segments which deals in the different applications which are concerned with the
various tools and methods. Under this , researcher choose the 20 respondents with the help of
ransom sampling method. From these respondents researcher gather data and information.

CHAPTER 5: CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
It has been concluded from the above report that, diabetes is referred as disorders in
which blood sugar level of person becomes high. There are various symptoms which helps in
identification of this disorder like frequent urination, increased thirst and hunger etc. There are
many complication are faced due to such problem. There are many reasons which cause diabetes
in person like genetic factor, food habits, environmental issues etc. Every person has different
reason because of that they are suffering form this problem. It can be of mainly two types and
have different symptoms. To reduce the impact of diabetes there is need to take various action by
person self. The steps which helps the person to reduce the effect of such problem includes
follow proper diet, consume less sugar, proper exercise, regular check-up etc. All these measures
helps the person to reduce adverse effect of debates on health and live normal life. They have to
take adequate diet in which includes low calories, low fat milk, cereals etc. They have to
consume fruits and green vegetables this helps to maintain their glucose level normal present in
blood. Proper exercise plan and yoga helps in reduction of the problem of obesity which is also
another main cause for diabetes now days. NHS has to consider all these factors which are main
reason for increase diabetes in between society. They have to take adequate measures which
helps the society to aware about their symptoms and provides different measures which helps in
reduction of their effect. The main of this voluntary organisation is to provide free medical
services to the people which are suffering from such problem. All such awareness programmes
and measures helps in control of diabetes in between young generation and make them self
dependent.
