This presentation discusses nutritional considerations for preventing and managing type 2 diabetes mellitus. It defines diabetes and describes the different types. It states that the current prevalence of type 2 diabetes in Pakistan is 11.77% and is expected to be the 4th largest diabetes population globally by 2030. Obesity and excess weight gain are identified as major risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes, with obese individuals up to 80 times more likely to develop the disease. Nurses play an important role in diabetes prevention through health education, promoting lifestyle changes like healthy eating, exercise and weight control.

11. Role of Weight Gain in The
Etiology of Type II DM.
• The exact causes of diabetes are still not fully
understood, it is known that factors up the
risk of developing different types of diabetes
mellitus.
• For type 2 diabetes, this includes being
overweight or obese (having a body mass
index – BMI – of 30 or greater).
• Obesity is believed to account for 80-85% of
the risk of developing type 2 diabetes

12. Conti…
• Obese people are up to 80 times more likely
to develop type 2 diabetes than those with a
BMI of less than 22.
• Obesity is also thought to trigger changes to
the body’s metabolism.
• These changes cause fat tissue (adipose
tissue) to release fat molecules into the blood,
• Which can affect insulin responsive cells and
lead to reduced insulin sensitivity.

13. • Nurses have a key role in promoting physical
activity and other lifestyle behaviors that reduce
risk of diabetes.
• Structured education is an effective and systematic
way of providing self management and behavior
change strategies for those at risk of diabetes.
• Communicating risk is key to starting the behavior
change process.
• No sweets to be eaten by diabetic patients
• Advise complex carbohydrate instead of simple
• Weight control and exercise are best to manage DM
