I have done extensive research and have found 158 articles that I will be reading and finding evidence to support my clinical question.

Clinical Question: Does the impoverished elderly and migrant patients with uncontrolled Diabetes type II and high HGBA1C the same Comparing than a population that I not impoverished? Problem statement: What is the percentage of diabetes that are living below the poverty line in the rural areas. Practice gap: The group of elderly living with type 2 diabetes that is uncontrolled. Some of the consequences if the diabetes remain uncontrolled is peripheral vascular disease, microvascular complications, retinopathy, cardiovascular disease possible amputations. Some of the benefits of having controlled blood sugars, helps reduce kidney disease, stroke, heart failure and poor circulation to the limbs possibly leading to amputations of limbs or toes. When a patient's diabetes level is managed it helps empower them during the diabetic process. To teach and coach and guide patients helps them understand the diabetes. Educating on how it affects their personal lives. It allows them to meet behavioral changes to improve their health. The clinical problem is that Diabetic education is essential part to control to avoid long term health care complications.
