Diabetes is an endocrine system disorder that affects millions of children and adults (ADA, 2011). If left untreated, diabetic patients are at risk for several alterations including heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, neuropathy, and blindness. There are various methods for treating diabetes, many of which include some form of drug therapy. The type of diabetes as well as the patient’s behavior factors will impact treatment recommendations. In this Assignment, you compare types of diabetes including drug treatments for type 1, type 2, gestational, and juvenile diabetes.

  1. Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the book
    in it or something. I think that you can do with a few pics to drive the message
    home a little bit, but instead of that, this is wonderful blog.

  2. Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re
    using? I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a tough time selecting
    between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely
    unique. P.S Apologies for getting off-topic
    but I had to ask!

  3. Currently it looks like Movable Type is the preferred blogging platform available right now.
    (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

  6. Whats up this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
    I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding
    know-how so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience.
    Any help would be enormously appreciated!
