Problem: Diabetes Mellitus: Criteria Computation Actual Score Justification I. Nature of The Problem

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic health condition where the pancreas produces little or no insulin. It can affect major organs like the heart, blood vessels, nerves, eyes, and kidneys. The family's problem with the patient's diabetes is moderately modifiable. They have some knowledge and resources to manage it, though community support is lacking. The preventive potential is low as the condition is severe and long-lasting, though it is currently managed with medication. The family is aware of the problem but full prevention is hindered by the patient's anxiety around medical care.
