Summary Introduction

To develop:

The nursing care plan that includes all phases of a nursing process for patients with type 1 or types 2 diabetes with a focus on drug therapies.

Concept introduction:

Diabetes mellitus is a clinical condition that is related to metabolism. Insulin decreases the blood glucose concentration, hence, insulin deficiency and insulin receptor defects cause this major disorder. Type 1 diabetes mellitus is an autoimmune disorder that is characterized by a lack of insulin production, it mostly occurs in adolescents and children. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is commonly found in adults and it is not dependent on insulin. This type is characterized by a defect in insulin receptors. Obesity is the common cause of this type of diabetes mellitus.
