Course Description
Diabetes is a significant lifelong health condition stemming from elevated levels of glucose, commonly referred to as sugar, in the bloodstream. If left unmanaged, this heightened blood sugar can lead to severe health complications.
While diabetes can manifest in individuals of any age, certain demographics are more susceptible to its development. Recognising the symptoms is crucial, as they can vary widely, from increased thirst to persistent fatigue. Studies suggest that as many as 26% of residents in residential and nursing homes live with diabetes. Therefore, identifying symptoms and understanding how to assist individuals in managing the condition are paramount.
