Critical Appraisal of Lifestyle Interventions and Exercise Therapy in Type 2 Diabetes Management
Overview
This critical appraisal examines two research articles investigating the role of lifestyle interventions and activity monitoring in managing type 2 diabetes. The paper analyzes how intensive lifestyle changes and exercise therapy can maintain glycemic control in diabetic patients, addressing a significant nursing practice issue given the rising prevalence of type 2 diabetes.

Background of Study
The study is instrumental in understanding the efficiency of activity to the well-being of a patient with diabetes. There is a growing need for the medical professions to come up with interventions that will help a patient with diabetes, from medication to their exercise and eating habits (Miyauchi et al., 2016). The problem of the first study is how medical professions can use exercise to ensure patients with diabetes can live healthy and fulfilling life. In the past years, the medical professions have been conducting further research in the field of diabetes. The number of people that are developing diabetes is increasing at a regular rate. More people are developing diabetes because of lifestyle choices. There are two types of diabetes (Johansen et al., 2017). Type 1 diabetis and type 2 diabetis. Type 1 diabetes is less common compared to type two diabetes. Type 1 diabetes takes place when the pancreas is destroyed. When there are issues with the pancreas, the beta cells that produce insulin are severely affected. Viruses are some of the most common parasites that affect the pancreas. There are also genetic issues that are related to the spread of type 1 diabetes. Some people are more prone to this type of diabetes than other individuals. There is a need to have more research that will pinpoint the exact cause of diabetes.
