Assessing the Problem: Quality, Safety, and Cost Considerations Assessing the Problem: Part 1 Insulin is a hormone produced by your pancreas that regulates the quantity of glucose in your bloodstream. It also aids glucose storage in the liver, fat, and muscles. Moreover, it affects your cell's carbohydrate, triacylglycerol, and protein metabolism. When you ingest, your blood sugar is too high, which causes the pancreas to emit insulin, allowing the sugar to be conserved as energy for later use. As a person with type 1 diabetes or severe type 2 diabetes, your blood sugar levels may climb dangerously high or fall dangerously low without that pancreatic competence. (Diabetes, 2020) Diabetes affects one out of every ten persons. In the Us, over 80 million adults, or almost a few of the population, have hyperglycemia. Non-Hispanic Blacks and those of Hispanic descent had more new diabetes cases than non-Hispanic Asians and non-Hispanic Whites. (Healthy People 2020), n.d.) Diabetes is a chronic disease that involves a person's daily self-management decisions and the performance of sophisticated care activities. Diabetes identity education and support (DSME/S) is a basis that has been proved to improve health outcomes for persons with diabetes as they manage these decisions and activities. (ADA, 2021, n.d.) The goal of this research is to look at how diabetes affects treatment quality, patient safety, and system and individual costs, with Veronica Michelle, a 40-year-old woman who was just diagnosed with the disease as a case study. Impact on Quality of Care, Patient Safety, and Costs Nurses lack of knowledge along with educating the patient, can put a highly cost to the ongoing care of diabetes. You are more prone to get heart disease if you have diabetes.
