英文摘要 |
Blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglyceride, and BMI in pre-diabetes cases are all higher than in persons with normal blood sugar. Such cases can be said to be in an intermediate stage of development between normal blood sugar and diabetes. If we can offer proper intervention in this period, it can delay or prevent future diabetes. In this paper, we designed a metabolic control protocol and applied this protocol to an adult with pre-diabetes in accordance with the whole structure of the「PRIDE」 educational plan. The activity lasted from May 4,2007 to June 4,2007, and used the principles and concepts of self-regulation theory to modify health behavior. Initial results indicated that this protocol helped this adult to enforce a healthy lifestyle in daily life and improve self-efficacy. We can predict that there will be good efficacy of metabolic control in the future, and, further, that this may delay or prevent diabetes. We sincerely wish to share this experience with nursing colleague, and offer this protocol as a diabetes prevention plan for the future. |
