Factors for Development of Diabetes Type 2 (Nursing)

00:01 Hi, welcome to our video series on diabetes.

00:04 I'm just kind of giggling because I bet you're wondering like, I'm sorry, what? How to develop type 2 diabetes? Yeah, I thought I'd put a positive spin on this because obviously, we want to help our patients not develop type 2 diabetes.

00:19 I know I have a weird sense of humor, but let's just roll with it.

00:23 So first of all, look at this, you've got a blank spot on your notes.

00:28 You'll notice there aren't any words in those frames yet, because you're going to fill this out as we work through this video series together.

00:36 I'm going to have you keep coming back to this slide to fill them in as we go throughout the presentation.

00:42 Now, why am I doing that? Well, we weren't running low on graphics.

00:45 This is one of the tools that you can do to help your brain lock in on a framework for what are the risk factors, what are the killer strategies for developing diabetes type 2.

00:57 Now you notice, we spend a lot of time talking about diabetes in this video series, because you're going to see a large portion of your patients that either have type 1, or mostly what you're going to be seeing is type 2.

01:11 So it's important that you understand diabetes from every different angle.

01:16 And I want to help you study as you go, which is why you're looking at a blank page, right now.
