to produce a sufficient level of insulin to control blood glucose (type 1) or from the body developing resistance to the action of insulin (type 2), or it may result
from both of these conditions(Deshpande, Harris-Hayes and Schoolman, 2008). Two additional categories are gestational diabetes and the forms of the disease that occur due to specific comorbid diseases (Deshpande, Harris-Hayes
and Schoolman, 2008). However, for the purposes of this paper, the focus will be on type 2 diabetes mellitus because the selected
relevant population for the papers focus is African Americans. This category was selected due to the fact that Black populations are statistically more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than
are whites, but, currently, type 2 diabetes mellitus has reached epidemic proportions in all demographic categories in the US (Deshpande, Harris-Hayes and Schoolman, 2008). The symptoms of diabetes, in
general may include "polyuria, polydipsia, weight loss, sometimes with polyphagia, and blurred vision" ("Diagnosis," 2010, p. S62). In children and adolescents, diabetes can negatively affect growth and cause susceptibility to
infections ("Diagnosis," 2010). Uncontrolled diabetes results in possibly fatal consequences that result form "hyperglycemia with ketoacidosis or the nonketotic hyperosmolar syndrome" ("Diagnosis," 2010, p. S62). The long-term complications that may
