Another problem eventually producing type 2 diabetes is when there is a problem with a person 's β-cells. When β-cells are not working or there are not enough the pancreas cannot produce the needed amount of insulin. While not the most prevalent factor the condition may also be associated with the liver haphazardly producing glucose instead of at a normal even rate. Hormone production shifting in regularity may also contribute to the onset of type 2 diabetes. Certain hormones are thought to also aid in glucose and fat breakdown and without this functioning

The following summary is an updated case study of a 47 year old male patient, Jim who was diagnosed with Coronary Artery Disease. The patient did receive information on what CAD is and was informed that test were needed to fully diagnose and be evaluated for underlying conditions (high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol levels, diabetes and blockage. I will discuss the type of test needed for this condition and tests for any underlying conditions that are related to this disease. The type of treatment needed to control and lower his risk factor. I will also give the patient information about complementary and alternative medicine so the patient will be well informed about different types of treatment. The patient will be informed about the prognosis of the disease, and the options that the patient has to succeed in the changes in his lifestyle that are needed.

Cancer can arise due to multiple causes, however knowing and avoiding some cancer causing substances may prevent many cancers. A major known cause of cancer cases is due to environmental and lifestyle factors. Examples of environmental and lifestyle factors that can increase the chances of cancer includes: cigarette smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, poor diet and lack of exercise, excessive sunlight exposure, and engaging in risky sexual behaviors which can increase exposure to certain viruses (Huether & McCance, 2012, p. 253).
