IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING WORD LIMIT REQUIREMENTS:

Please note that each and every assignment has its own word limit.

My essay focused on Type 2 Diabetes and one of the articles used within my paper is called “Cost-of-illness of type 2 diabetes mellitus in low and lower-middle income countries: a systematic review.” To check whether this article is scholarly, I would need the authors information, the field of expertise the book is written by, the publisher, citations and formatting.

The authors of this article are Afroz, A., Alramadan, J.M., Hossain,N., Romero, L., Alam, K., Magliano, J,D., & Billah, B. The article is published by the BMC Health Services Research, which is an healthcare journal that covers research on health services and was established in 2001. This article was published in 2018 and it as 47 reference citations. Within the article, the formatting is structured with an Abstract, Background, Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion, Publishers Note and Tables with data.

This article is useful to my essay because it discusses the cost of type 2 diabetes on the population and part of my essay is about type 2 diabetes and the financial burden it places on the healthcare system. Therefore, the article was a valid source of information for me. Within the article, there were limitations, such as the methodology used for the research. It lacked a comprehensive list of the unit cost and some of the data were not clearly justified. There were raising concerns that the study may lack accuracy in terms of data.
