PAGE 2 - INTRODUCTION

Introduction

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistent hyperglycemia resulting from defective insulin secretion, defective insulin action, or both. It is one of the most common endocrine disorders encountered in clinical practice and is a major public health challenge worldwide.

The pancreas, a gland located behind the stomach, produces the hormone insulin. Insulin acts like a key - it allows glucose from the food we eat to enter body cells and be used as energy. In diabetes mellitus, this system fails. Either the pancreas does not produce enough insulin (Type 1 DM), or the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces (Type 2 DM), leading to an accumulation of glucose in the blood.

Classification of Diabetes Mellitus:

Type 1 DM (Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus / IDDM): Autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells. Absolute insulin deficiency. Usually occurs in children and young adults. Requires lifelong insulin therapy.
Type 2 DM (Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus / NIDDM): Insulin resistance combined with relative insulin deficiency. Most common type (accounts for ~90% of all DM cases). Strongly associated with obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and family history.
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM): Occurs during pregnancy. Resolves after delivery but increases risk of Type 2 DM later.
Other Specific Types: Due to genetic defects, pancreatitis, drugs (e.g., steroids), or other endocrine disorders.

PAGE 3 - ETIOLOGY AND PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

Etiology (Causes)

Type 1 DM:

Autoimmune destruction of beta cells of islets of Langerhans
Genetic predisposition (HLA genes)
Environmental triggers: viral infections (Coxsackievirus B, rubella)

Type 2 DM:

Obesity (especially central/abdominal obesity)
Physical inactivity
Genetic factors / family history
Age above 45 years
Hypertension, dyslipidemia
History of gestational diabetes
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)

Pathophysiology

Type 1 DM: Autoimmune attack on pancreatic beta cells → Destruction of insulin-producing cells → Absolute insulin deficiency → Glucose cannot enter cells → Hyperglycemia → Cells use fat for energy → Ketone body formation → Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA)

Type 2 DM: Genetic predisposition + Obesity/Sedentary lifestyle → Insulin resistance in peripheral tissues (muscle, fat, liver) → Pancreatic beta cells compensate by producing more insulin → Over time, beta cells become exhausted → Relative insulin deficiency → Persistent hyperglycemia

Consequences of Persistent Hyperglycemia:

Glycosylation of proteins and tissues (HbA1c formation)
Oxidative stress and inflammation
Microvascular damage (retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy)
Macrovascular damage (coronary artery disease, stroke, peripheral arterial disease)

PAGE 4 - CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS

Signs and Symptoms

Classic Triad (3 P's):

Symptom	Explanation
Polyuria	Increased urination - excess glucose in urine pulls water by osmosis
Polydipsia	Increased thirst - due to dehydration from polyuria
Polyphagia	Increased hunger - cells starved of glucose despite high blood glucose

Other Common Symptoms:

Unexplained weight loss (especially in Type 1 DM)
Fatigue and weakness
Blurred vision (osmotic changes in lens)
Slow healing of wounds and cuts
Recurrent infections (skin, urinary tract, oral candidiasis)
Tingling, numbness, or burning sensation in hands and feet (peripheral neuropathy)
Dry, itchy skin

Symptoms of Hypoglycemia (Low Blood Sugar - complication of treatment):

Sweating, trembling, palpitations
Confusion, dizziness
Headache
In severe cases: loss of consciousness, seizures

Signs in Physical Examination:

Elevated blood glucose (fasting >126 mg/dL; random >200 mg/dL)
Elevated HbA1c (>6.5%)
Fundus examination: diabetic retinopathy
Feet: ulcers, callus, reduced sensation

PAGE 5 - DIAGNOSTIC INVESTIGATIONS

Diagnostic Criteria (ADA Guidelines)

Test	Normal	Pre-Diabetes	Diabetes
Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS)	< 100 mg/dL	100-125 mg/dL	≥ 126 mg/dL
Random Blood Sugar (RBS)	< 140 mg/dL	140-199 mg/dL	≥ 200 mg/dL
HbA1c	< 5.7%	5.7 - 6.4%	≥ 6.5%
Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) - 2hr	< 140 mg/dL	140-199 mg/dL	≥ 200 mg/dL

Other Investigations

Routine Blood Tests:

Complete Blood Count (CBC) - to check for infections or anemia
Serum electrolytes (Na⁺, K⁺) - especially in DKA
Lipid profile - to assess cardiovascular risk
Kidney Function Tests (KFT) - serum creatinine, BUN, urine microalbumin
Liver Function Tests (LFT) - before starting metformin
Thyroid Function Tests (TFT)

Urine Tests:

Urine routine and microscopy
Urine glucose and ketones
24-hour urine protein / microalbuminuria (to detect early nephropathy)

Other Specialized Tests:

C-peptide levels (to distinguish Type 1 vs Type 2)
Insulin antibodies (Type 1 DM)
Fundoscopy / Fundus examination (for retinopathy)
Nerve conduction studies (for neuropathy)
ECG / Stress test (cardiovascular assessment)
Ankle-Brachial Index (peripheral arterial disease)

PAGE 6 - MEDICAL MANAGEMENT

Principles of Diabetes Management

The four pillars of diabetes management are:

Diet / Medical Nutrition Therapy
Exercise / Physical Activity
Medication (Oral hypoglycemics / Insulin)
Patient Education and Self-Monitoring

Diet (Medical Nutrition Therapy)

Reduce simple carbohydrates (sugar, white bread, sweets)
Increase complex carbohydrates and fiber (whole grains, vegetables, legumes)
Limit saturated fats and trans fats
Small frequent meals (5-6 times/day rather than 3 large meals)
Calorie restriction in overweight/obese patients
Avoid alcohol and tobacco

Oral Hypoglycemic Agents

Drug Class	Example	Mechanism
Biguanides (1st line)	Metformin 500-2000 mg/day	Reduces hepatic glucose production, improves insulin sensitivity
Sulfonylureas	Glibenclamide, Glipizide	Stimulates pancreatic insulin secretion
DPP-4 Inhibitors	Sitagliptin, Vildagliptin	Increases incretin hormones, lowers glucose
SGLT-2 Inhibitors	Empagliflozin, Canagliflozin	Blocks glucose reabsorption in kidney; also has cardiovascular benefit
GLP-1 Agonists	Liraglutide	Stimulates insulin release, reduces appetite
Thiazolidinediones	Pioglitazone	Improves peripheral insulin sensitivity

Insulin Therapy

Mandatory for Type 1 DM
Used in Type 2 DM when oral drugs fail
Types: Rapid-acting, Short-acting, Intermediate-acting, Long-acting
Administered subcutaneously; sites: abdomen, thigh, upper arm, buttocks
Target FBS: 90-130 mg/dL; Target HbA1c: <7%

PAGE 8 - NURSING DIAGNOSIS

Prioritized Nursing Diagnoses

(Based on NANDA-I Classification)

Imbalanced Nutrition: More Than Body Requirements related to sedentary lifestyle and high-calorie dietary intake as evidenced by obesity (BMI >30), elevated FBS.
Risk for Unstable Blood Glucose Level related to inadequate diabetes management, non-compliance to medication as evidenced by HbA1c >8%.
Risk for Infection related to impaired immune function secondary to hyperglycemia as evidenced by recurrent UTI, slow wound healing.
Deficient Knowledge regarding disease condition, diet, medication, and self-care as evidenced by patient's inability to state blood glucose targets.
Risk for Injury (Hypoglycemia) related to insulin/oral hypoglycemic therapy as evidenced by blood glucose levels fluctuating below 70 mg/dL.
Impaired Tissue Integrity related to peripheral neuropathy and poor circulation as evidenced by diabetic foot ulcer.
Anxiety related to new diagnosis, complicated treatment regimen, and fear of complications as evidenced by patient's verbalization of worry and concern.
Non-Compliance related to complex medication and diet regimen, lack of motivation as evidenced by irregular intake of medication and poor dietary practices.

PAGE 9 - NURSING CARE PLAN

Nursing Diagnosis	Goal / Expected Outcome	Nursing Interventions	Rationale	Evaluation
Risk for Unstable Blood Glucose	Patient will maintain blood glucose between 90-130 mg/dL (fasting) within 5 days	1. Monitor blood glucose 4-hourly using glucometer. 2. Administer insulin/OHA as prescribed. 3. Ensure patient eats meals on time. 4. Educate patient on signs of hypo/hyperglycemia.	Regular monitoring detects fluctuations early. Timely medication ensures glycemic control.	Blood glucose stabilized within target range
Risk for Infection	Patient will remain free from infection throughout hospital stay	1. Maintain strict aseptic technique for all invasive procedures. 2. Inspect skin, IV sites, and feet daily. 3. Encourage adequate fluid intake. 4. Administer antibiotics as prescribed. 5. Teach proper foot care.	Hyperglycemia impairs WBC function. Early detection prevents serious infection.	No signs of new infection; wounds healing
Deficient Knowledge	Patient will verbalize understanding of DM management before discharge	1. Assess patient's current knowledge. 2. Teach about diet, exercise, medication. 3. Demonstrate insulin injection technique. 4. Demonstrate glucometer use. 5. Provide printed educational material.	Patient education is key to long-term glycemic control and preventing complications.	Patient correctly demonstrates glucometer use and describes diet plan
Impaired Tissue Integrity (Diabetic Foot)	Wound will show signs of healing (reduced size, no purulent discharge) within 7-10 days	1. Assess wound daily (size, depth, color, drainage). 2. Perform aseptic wound dressing as ordered. 3. Elevate affected limb. 4. Ensure blood glucose control. 5. Refer to wound care specialist if needed.	Good wound care + glycemic control promotes tissue healing in diabetic patients.	Wound reduces in size; no signs of spreading infection

PAGE 10 - NURSING INTERVENTIONS (IMPLEMENTATION)

Independent Nursing Interventions

1. Monitoring and Assessment:

Monitor blood glucose before meals, at bedtime, and as ordered (every 4-6 hours)
Monitor and record vital signs every 4 hours
Assess level of consciousness, especially if glucose is critically low (<50 mg/dL) or high (>400 mg/dL)
Daily foot inspection: look for calluses, cracks, blisters, redness, ulcers, and signs of infection
Weigh patient daily at the same time with the same scale
Intake and Output monitoring (polyuria is common; dehydration risk)
Assess skin turgor and mucous membranes for dehydration signs

2. Medication Administration:

Administer insulin subcutaneously at correct sites, rotating injection sites to prevent lipodystrophy
Administer oral hypoglycemic agents as prescribed (metformin with meals to reduce GI side effects)
Ensure patient has eaten before administering rapid-acting insulin or sulfonylureas
Document medication administration accurately in the medication record

3. Nutritional Management:

Collaborate with dietitian to provide an individualized diabetic diet
Ensure patient receives correct diet tray (low sugar, controlled carbohydrate)
Encourage small frequent meals
Ensure patient does not skip meals, especially if on insulin or sulfonylureas

4. Hypoglycemia Management (Emergency Nursing Action):

Blood glucose < 70 mg/dL = Hypoglycemia
If patient is conscious: Give 15g fast-acting carbohydrate (4 glucose tablets, or 150 ml fruit juice)
Recheck glucose after 15 minutes (15-15 Rule)
If unconscious: Give 25-50 ml of 50% dextrose IV (as per medical order) or glucagon injection IM
Notify physician immediately
Document and monitor

5. Hyperglycemic Crisis Management (DKA / HHS):

Assess for Kussmaul breathing, fruity breath odor, dehydration, altered consciousness
Start IV fluids as ordered (Normal Saline 0.9%)
Administer insulin infusion as per sliding scale protocol
Monitor electrolytes, especially potassium (falls with insulin treatment)
Continuous cardiac monitoring if K⁺ abnormal
Notify physician immediately

PAGE 11 - PATIENT AND FAMILY HEALTH EDUCATION (DISCHARGE TEACHING)

"DIABETES EDUCATION" - Teaching Plan

D - Diet: Follow a diabetic diet; avoid sugar, sweets, white rice, and fried foods. Eat green vegetables, whole grains, and fruits in moderation. Eat 5-6 small meals daily. Never skip meals.

I - Insulin/Medication: Take all medicines regularly as prescribed. Never stop insulin without doctor's advice. Know the names, doses, and timing of medications. Store insulin in refrigerator (not freezer); bring to room temperature before injection.

A - Activity/Exercise: Walk for at least 30 minutes daily. Regular exercise improves insulin sensitivity. Avoid vigorous exercise if blood glucose >250 mg/dL or if ketones are present.

B - Blood Glucose Monitoring: Learn to use a glucometer at home. Keep a blood glucose diary. Target FBS: 80-130 mg/dL; Target post-meal 2-hr: <180 mg/dL. Report if glucose is consistently above 250 or below 70.

E - Eye and Foot Care:

Eye Care: Get annual eye examination (dilated fundoscopy). Report blurred vision immediately.
Foot Care: Wash feet daily with warm water and mild soap; dry carefully between toes. Inspect feet daily for cuts, blisters, redness, or swelling. Never walk barefoot. Wear comfortable, well-fitting shoes. Trim toenails straight across. Report any wound that does not heal within a week.

T - Treatment of Hypoglycemia at Home: Always carry glucose tablets or candy. Teach family members the signs of low blood sugar (shaking, sweating, confusion). Follow the 15-15 Rule. Wear a medical ID bracelet/card stating "I have Diabetes."

E - Emergency Awareness & Follow-up: Know when to go to hospital immediately (unconsciousness, severe vomiting, glucose >400 mg/dL, chest pain). Keep regular follow-up appointments. Get annual HbA1c, kidney function, lipid profile, eye exam.

S - Stress Management and Psychosocial Support: Stress raises blood glucose. Practice relaxation techniques: deep breathing, meditation. Join a diabetes support group. Involve family in care.

Conclusion

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic, lifelong condition that requires consistent, individualized nursing care. As a nurse, my role is not only to administer medications and monitor blood glucose, but equally to educate the patient and their family to manage this condition at home. The most important outcomes of nursing care for a diabetic patient are: maintaining blood glucose within target range, preventing acute complications like hypoglycemia and DKA, preventing long-term complications through regular monitoring, and empowering the patient with knowledge and skills to self-manage their condition effectively.

This procedure plan demonstrates how a systematic approach - from assessment through evaluation - helps achieve holistic, evidence-based care for a patient with Diabetes Mellitus.
