Elderly Patients Diabetes Management Resources Needed Physical activity guidelines Health.go v (2019) 2ndedition guidelines on physic al activity Dietary recommendations guidelines i ndividual-specific diet guidelines for indi viduals
Elderly Patients Diabetes Management Anticipated Outcomes First, improving the diet plans in the ho me care systems Second, there is an expected reduction in the rate of reporting of diabetes sympt oms and attacks Third, there is an expected increase in t he standard precautions that are undert aken to prevent diabetes
Elderly Patients Diabetes Management Anticipated Outcomes Fourth - increase rate of physical activit y engagement by elderly persons; impor tant strategy for healthy sustenance (La nghammer et al., 2018) Fifth, increase is expected in the efficie ncy of the home care setting in providing physical activity assistance and dietary n eeds to the elderly
