An endocrinologist who practiced in New York City, Dr. Carlos Carera, was invited to attend the two-day protocol meeting to introduce the phase four clinical trial. He was interested in the development and research since some of his patients either could not tolerate or weren’t doing well on the available drugs for diabetes. Dr. Carera’s goal seems to involve participating in research to evolve and improve drugs for type-two diabetes and to be able to benefit his patients.
Another illness that is mentioned in the book is diabetes. As Dr. Moalem describes it, “In diabetics, the process through which insulin helps the body use glucose is broken, and the sugar in the blood builds up to dangerously high levels.” The body either fails to produce enough insulin, or the body tissues become resistant to insulin, leading to high levels of glucose in the blood. The elevated levels of glucose build up in certain organs and the high glucose concentration in these organs can lead to serious complications, such as blindness, heart disease, stroke, vascular disease, nerve damage, and kidney damage. Some of the symptoms include fatigue, thirst, hunger, blurry vision, and the frequent need to urinate.
There will be times during the day where a child might have non-routine physical needs. This could include: A runny nose due to a cold or allergies – a baby or young child will not be able to wipe their own nose so will require a practitioner to ensure that this physical care need is met. Wet or soiled clothes due to a toileting accident - a child should never be left in wet or soiled clothes, so a practitioner must will need to change the child’s clothes as soon as possible. Vomit Messy Eaters – Babies should be fed by an adult and Young children should be taught how to use Cutlery such as knives, forks and spoons. A practitioner should always assist young children in cutting their food as the children might find it difficult to eat
As discussed in class, it would be important to monitor medications because of the possibility of secondary complications from long term medical use; high blood sugar and organ damage or possible complications form medications (Mayo Clinic, 2014). Due to the joint conditions, physical inabilities and delayed developmental stages is another complication that can occur for Tommy. This can lead to psyche determents on the child for not living in that home environment, but constantly being in a medical facility (Falvo, 2013). Now looking at the possible complications for the family. First, there can be some stress and guilt because a child is suffering (Falvo, 2013).
I first off want to say that you have provided great definitions of industrialization and globalization. I agree with you that companies are out there looking for products that are produced at the cheapest price possible, which is why sweatshops are great, and provide opportunities for workers as well. Although jobs may be getting cut, they are positions that offer good pay (Kristof, N. & Wudunn, S., 2000), and that people in these less developed countries need in order to survive. These people would jump on these job positions in a heartbeat if they had the opportunity. For instance, Nhem Yen’s story from the article Two Cheers for Sweatshops.

In the first years of childhood sufferers develop an insatiable appetite, which leads to chronic overeating (bingeing) and obesity to explain that think of what it would be like if you don’t eat for a week not even
‘Health promotion means to have a positive attitude in the setting to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.’ One way children’s well-being can be supported by health promotion in the setting is by snack time. During snack time and lunch in my setting they have health foods which they encourage all children to eat. The setting provides balanced and healthy meals for the children. By giving children healthy meals and snacks it sets a good example and teaches children what they should be eating.

Childhood to adolescent obesity in America is becoming an over-whelming issue. Most schools have decided that physical education isn’t critical due to budget cuts and the increased pressure to excel in standardized tests. One out of three children in the U.S. is over-weight or obese according to the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine. I believe that childhood obesity is the result of lack of exercise and poor diet due to a fast-paced lifestyle. Junk food is attractive for many reasons including price, taste, and convenience.
When it comes to how the students feel about this change, there have been many disagreements about the new school lunches. It is reported that many students have begun to bring their own lunches to school or have chosen not to eat. This outrage has been caught by news channels including US News and Fox News, which shows the reaction of students and families regarding the change of school lunches. It is said that students have begun declining lunches but according to Turner & Chaloupka (2014), “Although 13.7% of respondents ‘‘strongly agreed’’ that at first students complained about the meals, 63.2% also agreed or strongly agreed that most students are no longer concerned about the meals” (Turner & Chaloupka, p. 353). In other words, in the beginning of the study, students were complaining about the school lunches that were given but after they became more familiar with it, they complained less.
Parents and family members with a child of any age would also benefit from the information delivered in this speech although older children may not receive such impactful results. Significance: This speech is relevant to my audience because the impact of such a significant diagnosis is a life changing and emotional event for families and the need for direction and guidance at such a critical time in their child’s life is essential. My audience should understand that providing their child with early intervention therapy will impact their child’s life indefinitely.
