Form and answer two levels of research questions for each inquiry to address your chosen topic.
- Choose a “Level 1 Research Question/Writing Prompt” from both of the lists below to answer in the paper.
- Compose a “Level 2 Research Question/Writing Prompt” for each kind of inquiry that provides detail, specificity, and focus to your inquiry, research, and writing.
- State your research questions in your paper’s introduction.
- Form the body of your paper by answering each research question and support your assertions with evidence (research).
- In the conclusion of the paper, briefly review the issues, research questions, answers, and insights.

Cultural, Ethical, and Legal Issues of Diabetes
Diabetes is a long-term health condition where the body’s ability to convert sugar/glucose
into energy is inhibited (‘‘Typ-1-diabetes – diabetes-risikotests verhindern ketoazidose’’,2015).
The disease is caused by various factors, including an inactive lifestyle and obesity. Chronic
illness dramatically affects the quality of life of those involved; therefore, apart from the health
repercussions, the disease also results in cultural, ethical, and legal issues. Cultural problems
concern society’s way of life, whereas ethical and legal issues focus on traditions and law-bound
matters. The article will highlight three research papers that address the various issues.
The cultural considerations in diabetes management
The author elucidates the supporting statistics that show the self-management of diabetes
as an excellent way of preventing and dealing with the illness. The article explains the education
system to highlight the needs of the ethnic-cultural risk factors that describe why Hispanics,
Asian Americans, blacks, and Alaskan natives are primarily at risk. Diabetes self-management
education considers the individuals’ lifestyle, daily needs, and culture (Titchener, 2020).
The article emphasizes the need for an individualized cultural care plan and stipulates the
framework. The report is considered credible because it does not have many photos and
concisely presents data with illustrations of statistical data. The article is essential in addressing
the disparity between cultures of people affected by diabetes as it describes the education
framework to developing a more individualized approach. The report is also based on first-hand
research, which can help other researchers to further knowledge to come up with novel ways to
prevent this raging pandemic.

Employment Rights of People with Diabetes
The author of the article has highlighted how far behind the employers have fallen despite
the advancement in the treatment of diabetes. According to the report, the law has neglected
some of the rights of the people who have diabetes. The new insulin delivery systems, in addition
to the monitoring systems, have gone hand-in-hand with the Disabilities Act of 2008(Griffin,
2013). However, the increased employment opportunities have been met with blanket bans that
the employers have utilized to counter these rights.
The article stipulates the different techniques employed by the various parties to curb this
flaw in the law and therefore deal with the legal issues of diabetes. The report is a credible
source of information towards understanding the legal state of diabetes. It is text-oriented,
focusing on developing various laws over time and alternative routes. The article is also peerreviewed and includes a vast catalog of bibliographies. The piece is essential to the fight for the
rights of people with diabetes. It elucidates the efforts of the employee litigation. It opens up how
the American Diabetes Association, together with other organizations, can join their efforts to
overcome the barriers.
Ethical Issues Attendant with Diabetes
The author identifies the barriers brought about by the gene patents that slow down
diabetes research. The article elucidates how the government can offer workshops that consider
the ethics of a group of people intending to come up with new technologies (Wayne, 2017). The
article illustrates the government approval process that physicians in India follow to maintain the
ethical practice. The report is considered credible because it is a professional publication since
professionals write it. The article is peer-reviewed and is vital to the ethical issues as it highlights
4
the views of various groups on gene manipulation and how the government is involved in this
process.
Conclusion
The articles have described the major cultural, ethical, and legal issues surrounding
diabetes. The research articles have identified the way of life, laws, and ethics that the different
stakeholders encounter. The research will surely help come up with novel ways to curb diabetes.
