Nursing Research Methods General informations for research: diabetes type 2 Complications can be avoided if the patient is educated and take control of his or her health. In my role as a Family Nurse Practitioner I will develop a program that will educate people diagnosed with diabetes to live a successful, healthier life as a diabetic. It will encourage them to take control of managing his or her diabetes management. Practical skills, information, guidance and support will be provided for my patients. Topics that will be covered during the diabetes education classes are diet, exercise. This research proposes that family nurse practitioners should formulate solutions of dealing with the prevalence of T2D. Family nurse practitioners should create individualized exercise regimens for individuals diagnosed with obesity and exhibiting diabetic symptoms. The exercise regime should be four months long and include three weekly sessions. Each session should last for at least one hour. The exercise regime can be complemented by putting the patient on a specialized diet to assess them to lose weight. The FNP can schedule two classes per week to educate patients on the desired diets. The patients should also be weighed twice a week during the program, and this should be done at the beginning and at the end of the week to evaluate their progress during the program. FNPs should also ensure that the family and relatives of the patients are included in the program to enhance adherence to the treatment and management regime. After the program is completed, the FNPs should also carry out follow-up programs to ensure that the patients are still adhering to the prescribed therapy.
