Seventh, patients in trials often are carefully selected. If a study sample has a mean patient age of 45 years, the result of the trial may not be readily generalizable to substantially older or younger populations. Similarly, exclusion criteria in clinical protocols may rule out patients with specific clinical syndromes (e.g., diabetes mellitus), women of childbearing potential, or patients of advanced age. These patients may require additional resources or may receive less benefit from therapy because their life span is shorter. These exclusions further limit the generalizability of the findings of efficacy studies. 

Lack of access to medicines and inappropriate doses result in serious morbidity and mortality, particularly for childhood infections and chronic diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, epilepsy and mental disorders. Inappropriate use and over-use of medicines waste resources - often out-of-pocket payments by patients - and result in significant patient harm in terms of poor patient outcomes and adverse drug reactions. Furthermore, over-use of antimicrobials is leading to increased antimicrobial resistance and non-sterile injections to the transmission of hepatitis, HIV/AIDS and other blood-borne diseases. Finally, irrational over-use of medicines can stimulate inappropriate patient demand, and lead to reduced access and attendance rates due to medicine stock-outs and loss of patient confidence in the health system.

However, government-led initiatives to enable the delivery of affordable medicines is often undermined by competing priorities, limited resources, ever-increasing expenses within the health sector, and increasing mortality and morbidity. For example, medical inflation has persistently run above the overall CPIX (see Table 23.1). Such trends place additional pressure on policymakers to release additional resources to deal with pressing health priorities, e.g., HIV/AIDS, TB, malaria, and diabetes. 

T Biosynthesis and degradation of triacylglycerols are regulated such that the favored path depends on the metabolic resources and requirements of the moment. The rate of triacylglycerol biosynthesis is profoundly altered by the action of several hormones. Insulin, for example, promotes the conversion of carbohydrate to triacylglycerols (Fig. 21-19). People with severe diabetes mellitus, due to failure of insulin secretion or action, not only are unable to use glucose properly but also fail to synthesize fatty acids from... 

The scenario in the chapter is illustrative of the inputs and outputs consumed and managed when filling a compounded prescription. What are the resources and outcomes that might be associated with providing a disease-state management service to diabetic patients Can each of these be managed Prioritize them based on which inputs add the most value to the output of this service. How did you decide which had the most value ... 

Professional pharmacy and medical organizations [e.g., the American Pharmacists Association (APhA), the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP), the National Community Pharmcists Association (NCPA), and the American Medical Association (AMA)] and health care organizations [e.g., the American Diabetes Association (ADA) or the American Heart Association (AHA)] also provide valuable information about many health conditions and value-added services. This information is important not only in the development of a service but also in justifying the need for a service with consumers and administrators. These organizations also provide treatment guidelines and additional resources that can be used when developing an operations plan for a service (see Chapter 25). 

The pharmacy already had a private counseling area, and he figured that he could use some of the resources he had obtained for the pediatric asthma service for a diabetes service. When he told his pharmacy manager about his idea, she seemed excited, especially given the potential for the service to attract new customers to the pharmacy. She did stress that her budget to support this service was limited and that he would have to provide more financial projections that she could share with her district manager before she could commit to support the service. 

A unique plant on many levels, the distinctive properties of the Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) present novel answers to some of today s most pressing problems. Jerusalem artichoke is potentially a major source of inulin, a fructose polymer that provides dietary health benefits as a prebiotic that promotes intestinal health and as a low-calorie carbohydrate to combat obesity and diabetes. Inulin also has myriad industrial applications, including ethanol production — making Jerusalem artichoke a potential source of biofuel. With its ready cultivation and minimal pest and disease problems, Jerusalem artichoke is an underutilized resource that possesses the potential to meet major health and energy challenges.

When people talk about pharmacy practice in diabetes care, the first thought that comes to most peoples minds is the community pharmacist dispensing a prescription for a blood glucose lowering medication. However, pharmacists are involved at a much deeper level in the care of patients with diabetes. In this article, examples of different ways pharmaeists arc involved in the care of patients with diabetes are provided. Resources to learn more about diabetes, as well as tools that will assist you in providing care, arc also indicated. 

Resources for information about diabetes products and management are abundant. Below are some of the many informative web sites available to patients and pharmacists that will enable them to increase their knowledge about diabetes. 

Disease prevention is an easily understood and well-accepted strategy among public health programmes worldwide. However, both public and private health care policy makers need evidence that prevention strategies are effective and provide value to their populations within the constraints of their local health care finances. Such financial resources are limited and shared across public health concerns including prevention of the spread of infectious diseases, other chronic illnesses (e.g. diabetes, hypertension), disability such as blindness, and health maintenance (e.g. nutrition or oral hygiene programmes).
