Introduction Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels, affecting millions worldwide. Among the various complications associated with diabetes, skin-related problems represent a significant concern, particularly for newly diagnosed patients. Altered blood circulation, compromised immune responses and nerve damage increase the risk of skin issues in this vulnerable population. Effective nursing interventions are crucial in managing and preventing diabetes-related skin problems. A nursing skin care protocol tailored to the unique needs of newly diagnosed diabetic patients has the potential to reduce the incidence and severity of skin complications, leading to improved patient outcomes and enhanced quality of life. This study aims to assess the efficacy of a nursing skin care protocol in preventing skin-related problems among newly diagnosed diabetic patients. By analyzing the impact of the protocol on patient outcomes and exploring the significance of early intervention and patient education, this research seeks to provide valuable insights into the importance of proactive skin care management in diabetes care. Methods A randomized controlled trial was conducted at Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital in India to evaluate the efficacy of a nursing skin care protocol in preventing skin problems among newly diagnosed diabetic patients. The study included 30 patients who met specific inclusion criteria and excluded those with critical illness or undergoing skin treatment. Data was collected using a questionnaire and standardized tools. Statistical analysis demonstrated the protocol's effectiveness in reducing skin-related issues. The results highlight the importance of early intervention and personalized nursing care in diabetic management, promoting better patient outcomes and overall well-being. Results The results of the study demonstrate the efficacy of the nursing skin care protocol in reducing pruritus and dry skin problems among newly diagnosed diabetic patients. The experimental group showed a substantial improvement, with higher efficacy gains for both pruritus (66.70%) and dry skin (86.70%) compared to the control group (pruritus: 26.70%, dry skin: 33.30%). These findings highlight the potential benefits of implementing the nursing skin care protocol to alleviate skin-related issues in this patient population. The study supports the importance of early intervention and tailored nursing care in managing diabetic skin problems, which could improve patient outcomes and overall well-being. Conclusion In conclusion, the nursing skin care protocol effectively prevented and reduced skin-related problems among newly diagnosed diabetic patients. The experimental group showed significant improvements in pruritus and dry skin compared to the control group. Early intervention and personalized nursing care are crucial in managing diabetic skin issues and enhancing patient well-being. Im...

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) (i.e., diabetes), a set of metabolic illnesses defined by chronically increased blood sucrose levels, is becoming more common worldwide. As a result of a pancreatic beta-cell failure, inadequate insulin is formed. Type 1 insulin is generated to efficiently apparent blood sucrose; type 2 insulin is formed to effectively clear blood glucose; type 3 insulin is produced (T2DM), characterized by insulin resistance. When the hormone fails to affect the target cells, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) arises while pregnant. Insulin resistance develops in pregnant women. Diabetes is the leading cause of visual defects in adults in the world. Diabetes causes problems in maximum parts of the eye, like in retina it causes retinopathy, in the lens it causes cataract, in lids- lashes the xanthelasma is more common, in conjunctiva the bacterial infections are more common as in diabetes they receive more nutrition and easy to increase, in cornea it causes keratopathy, and it is more severe it is also linked to tear function abnormality. Diabetes is a well-known significant factor for visual impairment as there are 12000 to 24000 new cases of visual loss every year. By 2030, it is expected that more than 342 million individuals worldwide will have diabetes, with the degree of diabetic consequences in various organs determining the total health burden.
