In addition, the pulmonary vasculature that produces the body’s natural vasodilators becomes impaired therefore further contributing to pulmonary vascular remodeling, systemic hypoxia, and pulmonary thrombosis.

    Patients with diabetes need to understand what diabetes is. Patients who understand what diabetes is and the complicated process associated with the disease are more likely to comply with the prescribed regimen.

The overall goal of medical and nutritional therapy is to assist persons with diabetes in making self-directed behavioral changes that will improve their overall health (Franz, 2012). Blood glucose monitoring and goals of blood glucose monitoring…
