Type 2 diabetes mellitus is on the rise in the United States. National statistics show that 6.3% of the population currently has diabetes, and this percentage is expected to grow (). Recent research has identified a correlation between cardiovascular risk factors and diabetes, complicating the care of those persons with diabetes (PWDs) even further. Due to the complexities of related cardiovascular and other comorbidities, it often has been difficult for the home health clinician to provide comprehensive holistic care to the individual with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This article can assist clinicians from all disciplines in providing evidence-based quality care to the PWDs.
2型糖尿病在美国呈上升趋势。全国统计数据显示，目前6.3%的人口患有糖尿病，且这一比例预计还会上升。最近的研究已确定心血管危险因素与糖尿病之间存在关联，这使得糖尿病患者的护理工作变得更加复杂。由于相关心血管疾病及其他合并症的复杂性，家庭健康临床医生往往难以向2型糖尿病患者提供全面的整体护理。本文可协助各学科临床医生为糖尿病患者提供循证优质护理。
