In the future, people will be treated at home for longer. More and more often People with multiple diseases are treated. There are approximately 500 people in the Raahe home care area and about a third of them have type 2 diabetes. The illness picture of Type 2 diabetes includes impaired insulin resistance (insulin resistance) and disturbed insulin secretion which causes increased blood sugar levels. Type 2 diabetes is challenging with elderly people, because it needs to take into account other concomitant diseases and their treatment as well as additional diabetes-induced diseases. This brings the challenge to home-care workers. The aim of our thesis is to facilitate the Raahe home care workers by providing them a guide cards for type 2 diabetic drug therapist.
