Introduction
Diabetes remains one of the most prevalent and notorious lifestyle conditions that has
hit the human race in the past century. Although it affects individuals across the spectrum, its
manifestation is disturbingly high amongst the aged in the society, as well as those suffering
from other lifestyle diseases such as hypertension. Ideally, the best way to deal with this
influx is through the adoption of preventive strategies. This paper enumerates the steps for
the implementation of a prevention strategy for diabetes, before delving into a discourse of
the identification of risk and development.
Further, it interrogates the purview of providing training and education to the nursing
and other healthcare professionals, as well as the place of screening in the whole process. It
then evaluates the interventions models and strategies currently applied in the market before
providing recommendations for the improvement of these intervention options for a
progressive trajectory. Finally, the paper discusses the concept of anchoring change, which
culminates in the evaluation of the suggestion and recommendations that are up for
implementation.
Steps of implementation
Any diabetes prevention campaign takes up a three-stage to a six-stage
implementation module, which actions are, in essence, complementary. The steps are,
however, compressible into the three primary stages, which measures are elaborately
captured below. This first and most obvious step is the identification of pre-diabetic patients.
Because diabetes is very selective and targets a particular group of individuals who espouse
risk factors, the identification process should not be as tricky as it sounds. Once the target
population is identified, they must be subjected to laboratory interrogation and testing to

establish whether they are prone to contracting the condition, or even if they already have the
status. The laboratory tests take the form of three models, being the haemoglobin A1C, the
oral glucose tolerance test as well as the fasting plasma glucose.
The second step in the course of this implementation is the provision of evidencebased treatment options. Once the patient tests positive for the pre-diabetes condition, the
best way to proceed is through the initiation of the...
