Message from the Dean
This edition of Vital Signs focuses on diabetes and the research and clinical work across a range of
contexts undertaken by the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Nursing (CON). The following articles
trumpet the CON’s accomplishments in the diabetes arena, with the many grants, awards and accolades.
The CON is a pioneer and leader in diabetes care. Diabetes—a chronic disease that has no cure and is one
of the fastest growing diseases in the United States—kills more people annually in the US than AIDS and
breast cancer combined. Nearly 26 million people have some form of the disease, and one in four is not
yet diagnosed. At least 79 million more are at risk for type 2 diabetes, including one in three adults.
In this issue, we share with you how we at the CON are influencing the trajectory of this disease through
chronic care management, innovative research being conducted across international borders, and our
strong national leadership. Featured is a conversation with Dr. Sandra Burke, Clinical Associate Professor,
Urbana’s Regional Director and current President of the American Association of Diabetes Educators. She
shares insights about diabetes management from her many years in the diabetes arena. Dr. Lauretta Quinn,
our newest American Academy of Nursing Fellow leads the charge at the CON in diabetes investigative
research engaging fellow faculty and graduate students to advance the science in management of chronic
illness in diverse populations. You will read about how the CON’s pioneering program in nurse-managed
primary care, Integrated Health Care (IHC), so dramatically refined care delivery in Illinois that the Illinois
Department of Health and Family Services, Your Healthcare Plus, recognized IHC for the “best outcomes”
for high risk diabetes patients in the State of Illinois. I look forward to your reading our new extended
segment and sifting through our accolades and research.
I also want to share with you the changes being made to our facilities. Our newly re-furnished lobby is a
beehive of activity where students now gather around a laptop at the high table for group study, plop in the
cushy seating area to share their clinical experiences, or prepare for class at the small tables. Several of our
classrooms also have a new look and the installation of the teleconferencing system allows for enhanced
communications with our regional programs. We have upgraded our two research floors and more is being
done including a welcoming new external look on the north side of our building.
In the fall we will be sending faculty educators and practitioners to Rwanda to develop curricula and
mentor nurses in community practice. The CON is participating in an exciting international venture uniting
with other US nursing schools through the Clinton HealthCare Access Initiative to develop a healthcare
infrastructure in Rwanda. Another international thumb print is the incredible story of one of our BSN
graduates serving our “wounded warriors” in a triage unit in Germany.
The College of Nursing is a research intensive, top-ten ranked nursing school with a stellar faculty, involved
alumni and incredibly qualified students. The CON has such a strong national reputation for excellence in
science with amazing opportunities for growth and our ongoing search for additional scholarship avenues.
We have endless possibilities ahead of us.
Thank you for your interest and support of our College of Nursing!

Spotlight on Chronic
Care Management
DIABETES
by Steve Hendershot
Coping with a serious mental illness is an extraordinary,
formidable challenge. It’s even harder when you also have diabetes.
Yet, the two conditions often coexist, because the same antipsy-
chotic medications that help control mental illness can also lead to
serious weight gain and dysregulation of lipids and glucose. These
changes, in turn, put patients at a heightened risk of developing type 2
diabetes, and creates a vexing choice for patients and providers—by
fighting one disease, they invite another. The trade-off also creates
unmistakable tension between mental and physical healthcare
practitioners and their advocates.
“It’s a challenge and a dilemma,” says Emily Brigell (MS ’97),
Director of the College of Nursing’s (CON) Integrated Health Care (IHC)
practice. This nurse-managed practice of the CON addresses the
issues by ensuring that patients can effectively control their mental

The CON’s 2003 comprehensive recommendations predated by a
of Clinical Endocrinologists, and the North American Association for the
Study of Obesity for patients on atypical anti-psychotics. Early on it was
recognized that patients taking the new anti-psychotics had extreme
weight gain and their lipid and glucose levels changed. It was then
recommended that psychiatrists begin monitoring weight gain, waist
circumference, lipids and glucose levels and to refer for treatment when
abnormalities were found.
Today, far more is known about the link between diabetes and
anti-psychotic medications and emerging national standards have
helped IHC continually refine its model. Now with many more drug
options available, if one drug is causing rapid weight gain or metabolic
changes, another can be tried. In 2008, the ADA recommended
metformin for pre-diabetes in selected high-risk patients, a strategy
included in the CON 2003 recommendations. In 2010, the ADA then
added the Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test as another criterion for
diagnosing diabetes. While not possible nationally prior to that time due

to concerns about laboratory standards for calibrating the test, in 2003

the Chicago laboratory used by IHC had met the standards so that
use of the HbA1c for diagnosis could be included in the 2003 CON
recommendations. This was important because the HbA1c does
not require patients to abstain from food before the test, making it
easier to complete the testing. Considering that patients with
mental illness are less likely to keep multiple appointments than the
general population, being able to use the HbA1c to identify diabetes
so treatment could be started was a significant advance.
McDevitt is proud of how she and her colleagues pioneered a
new standard of care, and continue to lead in demonstrating how to
provide effective primary care for people suffering from mental
illness. “It’s been extremely satisfying to see how nurse practitioners
working together can develop and manage this practice and have
very successful outcomes with one of the most challenging and
vulnerable patient populations there is,” McDevitt says. “It’s a huge
success story in showing what nurses and integrated care can do.”
Diabetes and Exercise: Making a Difference
Volunteering for an informational healthcare-related research study
can typically mean answering questions or submitting to tests to
generate the data that can answer the research question. Usually by
the time the data is aggregated and analyzed by the researcher, and
recommendations are made, the study participants have long moved
on. A new study shows that immediate feedback to patients can and
may make all the difference in self-care management and control of
their diabetes.
Cynthia Fritschi (PhD ’08), Clinical Assistant Professor in the
CON’s Department of Biobehavioral Health Science, is studying the
moment-to-moment interactions of physical activity, fatigue and
blood-glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Her study is
funded by a Pathways to Independence grant awarded to promising
researchers by the National Institutes for Health. Fritschi hopes the
study will ultimately reveal how three variables - fatigue, physical
activity, and blood sugar influence one another. For example, does
fatigue lead to decreased levels of physical activity or does a person’s
blood-glucose level at the moment of fatigue affect the trend?
To conduct the study, Fritschi asked a group of adults who have
type 2 diabetes and are aged 45 or older to insert a continuous glucose
sensor into the fatty tissue of their abdomens, then to wear the sensors
for six days. The study participants also wear accelerometers on their
wrists, which measures their physical activity and evaluates their fatigue
levels at random times each day.
Fritschi says that the glucose sensor is the toughest sell because of
its invasive nature, but it is also sparks a strong reaction in the
participants. The sensor calculates the participants’ blood-sugar levels
every few minutes, giving them a moment-by-moment window into the
ways that their blood sugar fluctuates with individual meals or activities.
“The first woman I tested broke down and started crying. She was
flabbergasted,” recalls Fritschi. “Most of these people monitor their
blood-sugar levels once a day or not even, and if they do it in the

eaten breakfast or gone through various events that occur over the
course of the day, they can have huge swings. Once they see the data

Vital Signs: Why is diabetes education important to achieving
more effective diabetes care?
Sandi Burke (SB): We have known for nearly twenty years that
well-controlled diabetes makes a difference in preventing complications, yet we still have high levels of these diabetes complications. We
still have high levels of heart disease related to diabetes, and diabetes
is the most common condition associated with kidney failure. Diabetes
is also one of the most common causes of vision problems. So we’re
still not doing a good enough job of preventing chronic causes of
diabetes. Part of the reason is that we haven’t hit on the best way to
help people self-manage their condition.
We know that self-management is a key piece of diabetes control
over time. We also know that diabetes education is a very effective
management tool. However, diabetes education is still very hard to

lifelong friendships. There are children I met when they were eight years
old in 1989 or 1990 who are now adults and still maintain relationships
with other adults they met as children twenty plus years ago. They learn
from one another.
People are responsible for 99 percent of their own diabetes care.
Only one or two percent of their care is actually performed by or

The value of camp to a nurse or nursing student, or a physician or

many of our students.
I don’t know what the best suite of activities is [for managing diabetes],
but I can tell you that in the past and still today, [healthcare providers]
focus on telling patients what to do, and that does not work. Instead,
we have to help them understand why they need to do these things so
that they will then make good choices in self-management. That means
focusing on empowerment and patient choice rather than focusing on
compliance or adherence models of care. That’s not a slight shift—
that’s a major shift in care management. It’s all about chronic care
management, not acute care management, and that’s a paradigm shift
in how we manage health care.
Some of what we need to be looking at is how diabetes education
fits within an accountable care organizational model. Diabetes
education doesn’t just deal with managing blood glucose levels. It has
an impact on physical activity, on lipid control, cholesterol control,
hypertension control—all the conditions related to diabetes that lead to
long-term complications.
Vital Signs: Each year, the UIC’s CON sends students and faculty
to participate in diabetes camps for children. You participated

the children and the staff?
SB: When children come to camp for the first time, they may never
Vital Signs: What are your goals for your term as President
of the AADE?
SB: There are qualified diabetes educators who are not being
reimbursed for the very good work they do, and they need to be
[reimbursed]. So as an association, one thing we’re doing is taking an
active role in advocacy.
Currently, someone who is classified as a diabetes educator can’t
bill for their service. They can bill through some other codes to be
reimbursed, but there is not direct reimbursement for diabetes
education. That’s a huge problem. If you are providing a service that
you can’t bill directly for, you’re not going to fit well into the prevailing
model of care.
Education is one of those things we should look at as an essential
need, but many people think that anyone can do it. No. Information
delivery is not the same as education.
Behavior change is not an outcome of information delivery. Behavior
change is a unique outcome that a diabetes educator will focus on by
helping people effectively manage their condition. That’s not giving
someone a piece of paper. It’s working with them to identify behavior
modifications and then to aid them in sustaining those changes

Diabetes and Culture:
A Global Epidemic and Multicultural Threat:
UIC Researchers Examine Its Impact in Five
Cultural Contexts
Several CON faculty and graduate research projects
are currently underway examining the effect of diabetes in various
ethnic and cultural contexts. The following five stories examine how
diabetes management affects diverse populations.
Migrant Workers in the Chicago Area
The researcher: Susana Castro is a PhD student in the CON and
has served on the National Advisory Council on Migrant Health.
The question: Migrant farm workers may seem like a population at
low risk of developing diabetes, because their jobs can be physically
taxing. But after 15 years on the board of Community Health Partnership (CHP) of Illinois, a group of health clinics that serve migrant
laborers, Castro knows better - she knows that diabetes, along with

“We know what Mexican-Americans eat. I just wonder if, while
grow at a price that was affordable for their farm workers and their
families? Or if they could provide gardens for those families to tend?”
Castro’s study will include migrant workers in multiple Illinois locations,
including Aurora, Woodstock and Kankakee. She will survey participants
about their dietary and exercise habits and their access to healthcare,
as well as measuring their body-mass indexes, cholesterol and glucose
levels.
Laurie Quinn’s take: “Migrant workers have a variety of health
problems, including the fact that many of them are developing diabetes.
They also struggle with access to care. How are we trying to prevent
that? [Castro] has a lot to offer here.”
First-generation Korean-Americans in the US
The researcher: Hanjong Park, a PhD student at the CON. Park
is a native Korean and worked in Korea with patients suffering from
diabetes and kidney failure.
The question: Park knew about the strong connection between
diabetes management and kidney failure and thus the importance of
treating diabetes and pre-diabetes. When Park arrived in Chicago to
begin her graduate studies, she noticed that many first-generation
Korean-Americans had poor diets, engaged in little physical activity and
were prone to sedentary behaviors such as sitting and watching
television over long periods of time.
Park set out to determine the risk of diabetes for this population and
to educate her participants about diabetes, pre-diabetes and how to
take healthy measures in their lives to help prevent the disease.
The project: In the midst of data collection Park will interview 200
Korean-Americans at venues such as churches and community
centers.
In addition to the interviews, Park checks her participants’ diabetes
risk by monitoring their blood pressure, measuring the circumference of
their waists, and administering diabetes tests, including Hemoglobin
A1c. In addition, participants will wear accelerometers for a week,
which will then allow Park to test their level of physical activity.
Park says that even in Asia, Koreans have a higher likelihood of
developing diabetes than Caucasians. She expects that Koreans’
predisposition is even greater in the United States, because she
suspects first-generation Korean-Americans eat fattier foods and are
more sedentary than they would be in Korea, as they adjust to life in
their new country.
“There are no existing studies checking diabetes risk in this specific
population,” says Park. “Through this study, we will be able to see
which factors are related to diabetes risk among first-generation
Korean-Americans, and to plan care and prevention strategies
accordingly.”
Laurie Quinn’s take: “People think that sedentary behaviors are
the reciprocal of being physically active, but Park is emphasizing the
role of true sedentary behavior, such as extended periods of sitting, as
opposed to simply a lack of exercise. She’s getting at the effect of that
time spent in true inactivity, and how that impacts people’s risk of
diabetes.”
African-Americans in Chicago
The researcher: Donna Calvin (PhD ’09) is a UIC CON graduate
conducting post-doctoral research. She is also a Clinical Instructor and
formerly the lead clinician for inpatient diabetes and diabetic kidney
disease at John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County.
The question: African-Americans are at greater risk than the general
population of developing type 2 diabetes and also of developing
complications related to diabetes. This is no statistical blip—AftricanAmericans are four times as likely as any other ethnic group to develop
certain diabetes-related conditions.
Calvin’s goal is to learn why African-Americans are so susceptible.
The project: Calvin is in the midst of her second survey of the
African-American population in Chicago. The first survey focused on
people who had been suffering from diabetes for less than five years
and had not developed complications; the second survey is focusing
on people suffering from chronic kidney disease.
Calvin’s first study found that participants were aware of their
heightened risk of diabetes. An astounding 80% of the population in the
study reported that they had relatives with diabetes yet this group still
tended not to think diabetes was particularly serious.
“Most of the people thought diabetes was a temporary disease,”
says Calvin. “They didn’t think they were at risk of developing complications, or they didn’t believe that having the disease would pose a
serious burden.”
The disconnect between perceived and actual risk was particularly
true regarding the three diabetes complications for which African-Americans are most vulnerable, relative to the general population: amputation, kidney disease and blindness.
In Calvin’s current study, she is comparing the perceptions of
kidney-disease patients on dialysis with the perceptions of people
11
whose conditions have stabilized. She is working with the John H.
Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County to develop a chronic kidney
disease committee and hopes the study will aid the committee’s work.
Laurie Quinn’s take: “Kidney disease is such a terrible disease,
and so many of the things that cause a serious decline in kidney
function can be prevented. You have to look at, why aren’t people
thinking about their risk? And then, what can we do to help them?
That’s what Calvin is doing, and it’s a very valuable public health
project.”
Diabetes in Thailand
The researcher: Boontuan Wattanakul (PhD ’12) is native of
Thailand where she completed her research.
The question: Wattanakul is curious about the effect of specific
aspects of Thai culture on diabetes control and self-management
among middle-aged and elderly people in Thailand. She wonders what
factors such as the Buddhist belief and practice and Thai culinary
customs may have on their attempts to control diabetes.
“Effective self-management behavior is important because it
represents the decision people make to follow a healthy lifestyle,
leading to optimal diabetes control,” says Wattanakul. “I want to find
strategies that help diabetes patients make proper management
choices that will then allow them to achieve success.”
The project: Wattanakul surveyed 197 people in Thailand with
diabetes. She found that her subjects’ understanding of diabetes, and
even the degree to which they effectively controlled their blood-glucose
levels, had virtually no effect on their attention to self-management
activities such as blood-sugar monitoring, insulin medication, exercise
and meal patterns. Further, neither age, gender, education, nor the
length of time a person had diabetes was much of a factor.
Which factors did register? Religion is one example. Participants
who reported strong dedication to religious practice (most of Wattanakul’s study participants were Buddhist) were also more likely to
practice pro-active self-care.
But Wattanakul also found that the positive effect of Buddhist
practice was mitigated by other elements of Thai culture - specifically
the consumption of rice. Food plays a critical role in Thai culture, and
Thai people consume extremely large amounts of carb-heavy rice and
sugary fruits.
“Even when people who have diabetes attempt to limit their
portions, it can be hard because of their culture,” says Wattanakul.
“Thai people love to eat.”
Dr. Laurie Quinn testing samples
Laurie Quinn’s take: “Diabetes is extremely common among Asian
communities, and Wattanakul is looking to aid her homeland, where the
number of people with diabetes is increasing. It will be an interesting
assessment to find out whether people’s behaviors can be modified
given a particular cultural context.”
Diabetes in India and America
The researcher: Laurie Quinn is a CON Clinical Associate
Professor. In October 2011, Dr. Quinn was inducted as a Fellow of the
American Academy of Nursing in Washington, D.C.
The question: Quinn first noticed that people in India were develop-
ing diabetes at a high rate, and that as they immigrated to the United
States, their diabetes risk increased. Part of this phenomenon can be
attributed to a more sedentary lifestyle, but because even adolescents
are at risk, Quinn wants to know what other factors might be at play.
The project: Quinn is examining the blood and biochemical indexes
of the participants in her research study, searching for more information
about the relationship between lipid disorders and diabetes. She
believes that Indian-Americans may be genetically transmitting insulin
resistance from parents to children, and early research results suggest
that her hypothesis is accurate.
Insulin resistance can be influenced by factors ranging from waist
circumference to physical activity and diet, in addition to genetic
causes. But a genetic predisposition toward insulin resistance is
certainly a disadvantage in diabetes prevention. Once Quinn concludes
her current study, she hopes to move to a larger project focused on
intervention amongst Indian adolescents in an attempt to limit their
incidence of diabetes.
“As a nurse, this is ultimately about what we are able to modify
and what we can improve in the lives of others, which can be guiding
them to increase their physical activity and making their diets better,”
12
Quinn says.

footsteps by becoming a nurse. From watching her mom, Mary Beth

Mary Beth served at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center (LRMC) in
Landstuhl, Germany this past year. She was a Clinical Nurse Flight
Coordinator for the Deployed Warrior Medical Management Center
(DWMMC). This department is unique to the military as it is the only one
of its kind that can air-evacuate patients.
When Mary Beth reflects on her time serving at LRMC, she refers to
their motto which is simply and clearly “Selfless Service”. “I believe that
serving our country without a doubt needs to be selfless. We have so many
of these heroes with multiple battle injuries. I can never again wake up in
the morning and complain. I see every day the sacrifices our ‘wounded
warriors’ make. They put their lives on the line every moment in this war.
They are my real heroes. I couldn’t be any more humbled and honored to
be here serving our troops. I will definitely go home a changed person.”
Mary Beth’s orders were for one year and she returned to the US just
before Mother’s Day, 2012. Her goal now is to get back in to the swing of
regular life and enjoy the summer with family and friends while also
pursuing a master’s degree in nursing. She has no plans for retiring from
the Navy Reserves. and says that she still feels the same enthusiasm to
serve her country as she did that day in January of 1985 when she signed
her enlistment papers. Mary Beth echos the Navy Reserve motto: “Ready

1981 CON Midwifery Class
Pictured is one of the earliest CON midwifery
classes from 1981. These Certified Nurse
Midwives brought midwifery care to pregnant
women at a time when it was not sought after
as much of an option. From this class, practices
were started in Chicago and the surrounding
suburbs, Atlanta and California, serving women
and educating the medical community and the
public on the safe, cost-effective, personalized
care that pregnant women could receive from
midwives.

We are grateful for the support of alumni, friends,
foundations, and corporations, whose contributions enable
us to remain a leader in nursing education

In addition to much needed scholarships, gifts to
the College of Nursing Annual Fund support technology
and equipment upgrades, student and faculty travel, and
seed money for research initiatives.

Nursing Annual Fund or one of the other funds from our

excellence that the University of Illinois at Chicago
College of Nursing stands for.
