Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease marked by high levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood. It is the most common form of diabetes with millions of Americans having been diagnosed with the disease. Some people have a higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes than others. They include African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, and Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and other Pacific Islanders, as well as the aged population. As a home health aide you should know the special needs of your diabetic client. You should know whether they are taking insulin and be familiar with their nutritional needs. You should also be able to recognize when your client is having an insulin reaction which could be potentially dangerous and even life threatening.
