Summary
Type II Diabetes is a disease prevalent worldwide, most notably in the United States and the United Kingdom. Boasting two largely different healthcare systems, surveys were conducted addressing provider and patient attitudes and feelings towards different practices and policies in each country. Surveys were completely anonymous. Of the 140 participants surveyed, 49% (69 participants) were from the United Kingdom, 49% (69 participants) were from the United States, and 2% (2 participants) were from an unknown country and were thus excluded from the rest of the study. Of the 19 providers surveyed, 26% (5 participants) were from the United Kingdom, 69% (13 participants) were from the United States, and 5% (1 participant) were from an unknown country and thus excluded from the rest of the survey. Results suggested the initial hypothesis was not correct. It was found the United States and the United Kingdom would both be able to learn from one another in regards to practice, but the implications of the study for policy and governmental procedure was a little more muddled. It was determined additional research would be needed to ensure adequate revisions to existing governmental policies.
