ABSTRACT
Methodology:
As a secondary research, the data presented will be reported and
sent and different procedures will be used to show diabetes
statistics among older people.
Findings:
Secondary research requires a reference list with all data and
information discussed in the research. All will be presented to the
end of the research project.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION OF THE RESEARCH
1.0 INTRODUCTION and BACKGROUND
In the past, a diagnosis of diabetes was about the same thing, with
a leprous disease: once you get sick, you stay ill for the rest of
your life.
1.2 OBJECTIVES
2.0 INTRODUCTION
Diabetes is a disorder of the body associated with a blood sugar
over the normal limit. The disease affects all age groups and is one
of the most serious chronic conditions in terms of the fact that
there is no cure to "cure" it, but only methods that keep it under
control and stop it, plus several other complications in the eyes,
heart, kidneys and neurological order.
2.1 Overview of Diabetes
Diabetes has been a known disease for over three millennia, and
the first reference to the disease was found in Erbes' writings 3500
years ago (Morley JE, 2000 ).
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic illness caused by the decrease or
absolute lack of insulin in the body, which causes the body's
inability to use carbohydrates as a source of energy. The disease is
a serious, untreated condition that can create major life-threatening
complications. This is due to the lack of quantitative or qualitative
insulin, denoting late signs of the disease. In diabetes, the
metabolic disorder is not only glucose but also lipids and proteins.
Prediabetic is when the blood sugar level is higher than normal,
increasing the risk that the person develops diabetes. It is very
important for the disease to be diagnosed early, to be treated early,
to prevent complications.

CHAPTER 3: METHODOLOGY
3.0 INTRODUCTION
This chapter informs you about the research done, as well as about
the methods used to address research questions. The main
sources used in research are based on other research, being a
secondary research inspired by online sources, books, journals.
3.1 THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVE
3.2 DESIGN/METHOD
The research method used in the research proposal is qualitative,
exploratory research used to understand the opinions, motivations,
and occurrences that underlie my research.
The methodology used in this research project, the most
information I will get from books, journals, and diabetes reports
that I will find on the internet.
For research, we will use secondary data that is a type of data that
has already been published in books, newspapers, magazines,
journals, online portals, etc.

CHAPTER 5: CONCLUSION
5.0 INTRODUCTION
5.1 CONCLUSION
Because of the dramatic increase in prevalence, diabetes among
the elderly is one of the most important diseases in this age group.
Fortunately, understanding the pathogen as well as treating
diabetes plays an important role in increasing the quality of life of
elderly patients, as well as in reducing complications (micro and
macrovascular) that may occur more frequently in them. The
lifestyle of elderly patients (including diet and exercise in
particular) should be closely monitored.
5.2 RECOMMENDATION(S)
People with diabetes are twice as likely to have heart disease than
non-diabetic patients, the risk being caused by hypertension, high
cholesterol, atherosclerosis.
Keeping the diabetic under control includes reducing all
cholesterol risk factors by reducing cholesterol by using a diet
without animal products.
Stretching stress through physical and relaxing exercise, reducing
blood pressure through exercise.
Also, very important is smoking cessation, smoking increases the
risk of diabetes.
Diabetics, regardless of the type of disease, should eat lean meat,
fresh fruit (not containing much sugar), whole wheat and low-fat
dairy products.
Carbohydrate monitoring is a key element because they strongly
affect the level of sugar in the blood. A balanced diet includes a
variety of vegetables and fruits (low sugar), whole grains, beans,
fish, lean meats and fat-free dairy products. When you have
diabetes, you should follow a strict program of meals and snacks.
It is essential that, besides diet and sports, follow the prescribed
medication. Insulin injections and regular blood sugar testing can
be part of your daily life.
