The good news is that type 2 diabetes is largely preventable. About 9 cases in 10 could be avoided by taking several simple steps: keeping weight under control, exercising more, eating a healthy diet, and not smoking.
Critical thinking and research. Critical thinking is a core competency for evidence based general practice and an essential precursor to research. It is also essential for evaluating and understanding the implications of research for clinical practice.
Research approach can be divided into two groups: deductive and inductive. The relevance of hypotheses to the study is the main distinctive point between these two approaches. Deductive approach tests the validity of assumptions (or theories/hypotheses) in hand, whereas inductive approach contributes to the emergence of new theories and generalizations. Discussion of research approach is a vital part of any scientific study regardless of the research area.
