Purpose: This project evaluated current practices for Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) screening and management among Asian Americans (AAs) presenting to a primary care clinic and determined whether these practices adhered to the American Diabetes Association (ADA)’s 2018 guidelines.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed to extract data from clinical case records of AAs who visited the Vietnamese Health Center (VHC) between November 1, 2017 and November 1, 2018. Descriptive statistics were utilized to analyze the data.
Results: Of 173 charts reviewed, 76.3% of AAs had no previous T2DM diagnosis and 23.7% had a previous diagnosis. Among those without …

The Influence Of Stressful Life Events On The Development Of Type 2 Diabetes, Joshua Minks
Dissertations
This study examined the relationship between distress and the development of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the presence of established risk factors. Distress secondary to mental health disparities, stressful life events, and work conditions has been shown to promote insulin resistance and the development of T2DM.
Subjects (N=79) diagnosed with T2DM within the previous six months were recruited from SSM Health Centers and VA Medical Centers in the greater St. Louis area. They completed the Recent Life Changes Questionnaire, ENRICHD Social Support Instrument, and a demographic survey and analyses were conducted to determine differences between the veteran …

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Though the management of diabetes is widely documented in scientific literature, little is published about how hypoglycemia is managed by family physicians. The objective of this study was to create a measurement for family physician clinical inertia in managing hypoglycemia, and to determine family physicians’ characteristics associated with clinical inertia. The design was a secondary analysis of the data provided by 162 family physicians from the Canadian InHypo-DM Study. The outcome for this thesis was a score for physician clinical inertia. The methods applied were exploratory factor analysis, bivariate analysis and multiple linear regression. Results showed no statistically significant differences …
