Diabetes mellitus in prehospital emergency care
LEKEŠ, Karel
This bachelor thesis titled "Diabetes mellitus in pre-hospital emergency care" is divided into two interrelated parts, those being a theoretical part and a practical part. In the theoretical part the anatomy and physiology of the pancreas are described. Furthermore, there is a description and classification of diabetes mellitus and also its acute complications along with its therapy. In accordance with the topic of the thesis, four research objectives were defined: to find out which complications of diabetes are most common in pre-hospital care, how can these complications be effectively treated and what technologies are used to prevent these conditions from occurring. The final research objective was to determine what experiences paramedics have with acute conditions related to diabetes in pre-hospital care. To achieve the results, qualitative research inquiry was carried out using semi-structured interviews containing 11 open-ended questions to acquire in-depth data. The interviews were conducted with 16 paramedics of the Emergency medical services of the South Bohemia region from the regional centres of Tábor, České Budějovice, Jindřichův Hradec, Písek, Český Krumlov, Strakonice and Prachatice. The results show that the interviewed paramedics are well prepared to deal with acute diabetic complications due to standardized procedures and regular training. The conclusions of the thesis provide recommendations for improving the pre-hospital care of patients with diabetes, including suggestions for increasing patient awareness of prevention and management of acute conditions.

Type 1 Diabetes and its difficulties
MIKOLÁŠOVÁ, Veronika
This bachelor thesis is about men who suffer from type 1 diabetes mellitus. Where I focus on whether men suffering from this disease are deficient in the supply of particular nutrients and also try to map the frequency of acute complications. In the first part of the theoretical work, I discuss the incidence of diabetes mellitus and its types. In the second part I describe the concepts that are associated with diabetes mellitus. In the third part I discuss in detail type 1 diabetes mellitus, its classification, complications, treatment and of course dietary measures and physical activity. In the practical part, both qualitative and quantitative research methods were used, using questionnaires and diet plans from the respondents. I aimed to map the extent to which the diabetic diet meets the demands of adult men and to map the frequency of acute complications in men with type 1 diabetes mellitus in relation to diet and physical activity. The research showed that men with type 1 diabetes mellitus were not at risk of inadequate intake of individual nutrients, fat intake was higher than the recommended intake in half of the respondents, while protein intake was met and carbohydrate intake was lower. However, a diabetic diet set according to the dietary system would be insufficient. Another finding was that men were more likely to suffer from hyperglycaemia than hypoglycaemia, and in both cases they tried to prevent these acute complications by adjusting their insulin dose, which may be related to the fact that most respondents said that they only estimated the amount of carbohydrate in their meals.

Brož, Jan ; Kvapil, Milan (advisor) ; Češka, Richard (referee) ; Karásek, David (referee)
BROŽ, Jan. Hypoglycemia as a limitation of treatment of diabetes mellitus. Prague, 2022. 100 pages. Dissertation thesis. Charles University in Prague, 2nd Faculty of Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine. Supervisor Kvapil, Milan. In diabetes mellitus, hypoglycaemia is defined as a condition that is associated with abnormally low blood glucose levels (≤ 3.9 mmol/l), which puts the body at potential risk. The first part of the work is devoted to the treatment of hypoglycaemia associated with physical activity in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. The results showed that standardized moderate-intensity body movement without pre-agreed preventive measures led to hypoglycaemia in all participants. During exercise, the rate of ABG decline ranged from 0.7 mmol/l to 1.7 mmol/l in 10 minutes. During recovery after ingestion of 20 g of carbohydrates, the rate of increase in ABG ranged from 0.6 mmol/l to 1.9 mmol/l in 10 minutes. The amount of glucose administered resulted in recovery from hypoglycaemia in all study participants and maintained glycemia above this level for an additional rest period of 60 minutes after glucose ingestion. The second part of the work was devoted to comparing the characteristics of the results on the one hand of treatment in the same group of patients with type 2...

Fabianová, Monika ; Eislerová, Iva (advisor) ; Kvasnička, Tomáš (referee)
Bachelor thesis is focused at preventing complications in patients with 2nd type insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. The aim of the final work was to determine complications associated with the basic disease, prevention of complications, patient education and awareness about diabetes and regime measures. Research was conducted in outpatient clinics for diabetics and subjects of research were 100 adult patients with 2nd type insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Research conducted on the basis of a questionnaire survey. The theoretical part focused on basic information about diabetes mellitus in particular classification, diagnosis, treatment, complications, prevention and treatment of disease complications. The practical part was focused on patients with diabetes and activity based on the questionnaire the data were analyzed and graphically processed using tables and graphs. The work showed the results of many research deficiencies in patient awareness and proper education. Many patients do not realize the severity of the disease and the consequences of underestimating the preventive measures. Key words: 2nd type diabetes mellitus, diabetic complications, hypoglycaemia, diabetic foot, prevention of complications, treatment of diabetes, risk factors, insulin treatment.

Active lifestyle with type 1 diabetes mellitus
Votroubková, Eliška ; Bunc, Václav (advisor) ; Hošková, Blanka (referee)
Title: Active lifestyle with type 1 diabetes mellitus Objectives: The aim of my work was to find out whether and how young people with type 1 diabetes mellitus are restricted. The work summarizes the basic knowledge of this disease with respect to the use of movement in curative. Defines rules for physical activity in diabetics. Methods: To obtain the data, I used an anonymous survey, which was attended by 36 respondents aged 3 to 19 years from a diabetic counseling center in Svitavy and from the civic association Cukříci in Ústí nad Orlicí. The survey will provide data on basic physical parameters, the length of the disease, the way of treatment of individual patients and their approach and limitations with respect to physical activities. For most questions, only one answer can be selected as it is mutually exclusive. Individual answers were entered into tables and the data was subsequently processed and presented using graphs. Results: Using a survey I found out that more respondents are inclined to be treated with insulin pens in front of an insulin pump. More than a quarter of the respondents have already experienced hypoglycaemic shock. 16.7% of the respondents do sports at the racing level. There were other issues associated with physical activity, including the value at which individuals no...

Nursing care about child with glycogen storage disease I. type
ŠŤASTNÍKOVÁ, Hana
Abstract Present Situation: Research investigation deals with nursing care of the child with glycogen storage disease type I., as well as its diagnosis, nutritional management and complications. Glycogen storage disease (GSD) belongs among rare hereditary metabolic disorders. There are several types of GSD, divided into hepatic, myopathic and generalized forms. Early diagnosis is essential for effective treatment of the disease, the signs and symptoms of which first appear in babies soon after birth. The aim of this thesis was to describe the nursing care of the child with glycogen storage disease type I and identify the problems parents of affected children have to face. Methodology: Quantitative research method was used for empirical part of the thesis. The data collection was carried out through In-depth interviews with paediatric-ward nurses and a mother of the child with GSD type I. All interviews were audio recorded, transcribed and coded using paper-and-pencil method and finally categorized. The research sample consisted of nine paediatric-ward nurses and the mother taking care of the child with glycogen storage disease type I, also known as Gierke's disease. Selection of the sample was purposive and its size was determined by theoretical saturation of data. Results: Nursing care of children with glycogenosis type I requires regular feedings of a special diet enriched with corn starch substances to maintain the level of glycemia in the physiological range and to avoid dangerous hypoglycaemia. Problems for nursing staff mainly involve the unstable health condition of a child, fluctuating glycemia levels and limited knowledge of the disease. Parents not only worry about potential health complications of their child but they are also concerned about technical problems with feeding aids, poor recognition of hypoglycaemia and the child's mental welfare. The disease presents increased physical and emotional demands on the patient and their family. Conclusions and recommendations for practice: The thesis presents an outlook on the issue of paediatric-ward nursing care of the child with glycogen storage disease type I and indicates the common problems of the family with a child affected by the disease. The effort was to thoroughly understand the nature of the disease and to identify basic nursing care procedures which can benefit nurses in other facilities dealing with the same diagnosis. The results of the research will be presented in the magazine "Pediatrie pro praxi" in the nursing section.

Pošustová, Kristýna ; Malá, Michaela (advisor) ; Vilikus, Zdeněk (referee)
Title: Acute Complications of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Objectives: The main aim of my thesis was to gather information from a group of young diabetics, suffering from type 1 Diabetes mellitus, about acute complications they have suffered. In the research I inquired about occurrence, frequency, the most common causes, symptoms and first aid during the state of the acute complications. Methods: The research method of gathering information was an anonymous questionnaire comprising of 25 closed questions divided into 3 thematic areas. The target group was made up of 40 respondents, at the age between 10 and 26 years, from whom 32 were children and 8 were adults. The questionnaire was distributed in cooperation with The Civil Association of Parents of Children Suffering from Diabetes and Celiac Disease (Diacel) based in Pisek. The collected data are presented using tables and graphs. Results: Based on the collected data I found out that the most common acute complication among the respondents is hypoglycaemia. More than half of the respondents experienced a severe attack of hypoglycaemia at least once in their life. Furthemore, it was found that the respondents not always had a source of sugar on them to stop the progression of hypoglycaemia. None of the cases of hyperglycaemia was so severe that an...
