Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects millions of people worldwide.

It is a condition where the

body is unable to properly regulate blood sugar levels, leading to high levels of glucose in the blood.
This can have serious consequences if left untreated, including damage to the heart, kidneys, and
eyes.

To better understand the impact of diabetes on individuals, we have conducted a case study on a
patient with type 2 diabetes. This patient, let's call her Sarah, is a 45-year-old woman who was
diagnosed with diabetes 5 years ago. She has a family history of diabetes and was overweight at the
time of diagnosis.

Sarah's doctor recommended a combination of medication, diet, and exercise to manage her diabetes.
However, Sarah found it difficult to stick to a strict diet and exercise routine. As a result, her blood
sugar levels remained high, and she experienced frequent fatigue and dizziness.

That's when Sarah discovered HelpWriting.net – a reliable and professional writing service that offers
assistance with various academic and health-related assignments. She reached out to them for help
with a case study on diabetes, and the results were remarkable.

The writers at HelpWriting.net conducted extensive research on diabetes and its management, and
they created a comprehensive case study that highlighted Sarah's struggles and the importance of
proper management of diabetes. The case study also included recommendations for a healthier
lifestyle and tips for managing diabetes effectively.

Thanks to the well-written and informative case study, Sarah was able to better understand her
condition and make necessary changes to her lifestyle. She started following a healthier diet and
incorporating regular exercise into her routine. With the help of her doctor and the resources
provided by HelpWriting.net, Sarah was able to successfully manage her diabetes and improve her
overall health.

If you or a loved one is struggling with diabetes, we highly recommend ordering a case study from
HelpWriting.net. Their team of expert writers will provide you with a well-researched and
informative study that can help you better understand the condition and manage it effectively. Don't
let diabetes control your life – order your case study today and take control of your health!

intricacies, including renal failure and dialysis, need for enteral or parenteral nutrition, severe burns

goes to the gym? What advice would you give SR for managing her blood glucose when she drinks
alcohol with friends? I recommend SR start out by exercising for 30-60min/day at a moderate level
to see how her body reacts. She should keep a record of the type and amount of exercise along with
the CHO intake, changes in insulin doses and blood glucose levels. She should do this before and
after. Since I recommend she exercise for less than 1 hour, she may prefer to adjust insulin instead of
increasing CHO. In general, the mealtime insulin taken before exercise can be decreased by 1 or 2
units to prevent blood glucose levels from dropping too low during and/or after exercise. Additional
adjustments, including adding CHO, may be necessary once she determines she can exercise for a
longer duration. If she decides she would rather consume a snack before exercise, she should
consume a snack with 15g CHO. (might be only necessary if activity is longer than 1 hour).
Moderate exercise of less than 30 minutes generally does not require any additional CHO or insulin
adjustment, unless blood glucose is below 100mg.dL, in which case a small snack may be needed.
Fluid intake is important. She can dilute a sports drink with water to provide fluid and CHO. She
should also wear adequate ID and carry a source of readily available CHO during exercise (nutrition
care manual). Consuming CHO immediately after exercise optimizes the repletion of muscle and
liver glycogen stores. For the exerciser with diabetes, this is important because of increased risk for
late onset hypoglycemia (mahan, 689). When SR goes out to drink with friends, she should ditch
the high sugar/CHO laden frozen margaritas. She should also limit her intake to 1 drink. Her drink of
choice should contain the least amount of sugar possible; mix liquor with water or diet soft drink.
She should also consume food when drinking. 7. Consult the Nutrition Care Manual for Type 1

mutations to be identified, and accounts for 10% of MODY cases.³Diabetes is diagnosed in the late
teens to early twenties when insulin production becomes insufficient and often is misdiagnosed as
T1D. MODY1 responds well to sulphonylureas, which act by stimulating the pancreas to secrete
insulin. There is a progressive decrease in insulin production, however, eventually necessitating
insulin. In patients who are already on insulin, it may be possible to reduce or even stop insulin once
sulphonylureas have been initiated. HNF4-α patients may develop vascular complications and may
be associated with high serum lipids and metabolic syndrome, and therefore optimal glycemic
control is very important.

The general goal of treating diabetes are to avoid acute decompressions, prevent appearance of early
stages or late stages of diseases or complications. Decrease mortality rate and maintain a good quality
lifestyle. For example: drugs like insulin, metformin and other medications all work together to
balance you blood sugar levels in order to maintain them in healthy and proper ranges.
Save Diabetes Mellitus Case Study For Later the post-prandial blood glucose level can be adjusted to
4 hours, which is comparable to the typical “Their reasons for doing this made sense 25 years ago
when these diagnostic criteria were originally crafted. At that time there was no treatment that could
help people with early diabetes and a diabetes diagnosis could make it impossible to get health or
life insurance. That made the experts conclude that an early diagnosis of diabetes was more likely to
harm than help their patients and motivated them to set diagnostic criteria that would not diagnose
patients until late in their disease process.”Another factor in assessing pre-diabetes is that blood
glucose levels in normal healthy people are far lower than you would expect: and cases support and
assist to control and manage MODY often presents without signs or symptoms of hyperglycemia and
is diagnosed when a high glucose is discovered incidentally. Some forms of MODY, however, can
cause significant hyperglycemia with typical symptoms. Making the diagnosis of MODY in a patient
with apparent T1D is potentially life changing as one can withdraw insulin therapy safely. It has an
impact on relatives as once a mutation in a family is identified, it will allow correct diagnosis in other
family members (50% chance that first-degree relatives also will have MODY). There has been one
previous report of a patient with coexistent T1D (with positive islet cell autoantibodies) and MODY3
(mutation of HNF1-α).⁴The absence of autoantibodies is a reason to test for MODY as the presence
of anti-GAD and insulinoma-associated protein 2 autoantibodies is <1% in MODY.⁵Genetic testing
for MODY is expensive, and careful selection of patients to be tested is paramount. Equally
important, however, a strong clinical suspicion of MODY and appropriate genetic testing can be life
changing. There are many supplements that are suggested for diabetics—too many to discuss here.

you’ll need a machine to actively tell you if your levels are down or up when your diet is changed
around, medications are taken or missed, and your active or passive. What does this mean? This
means you essentially eat what is called the Paleo diet, which consists only of foods that would have
been eaten by your stone-age ancestors: meat (and other proteins like eggs and cheese) and
vegetables—non-starchy vegetables. This diet would also include nuts, unsweetened fruits, and
legumes. Unsweetened Greek yogurt is much lower in carbs that other yogurts, and could also be

people being cured of diabetes as a result of bariatric surgery remains a mystery. I take turmeric
daily, as best I can manage. I’ve found that rather small daily doses of turmeric quickly cure the
common diabetic problem of “frozen shoulder”—a kind of arthritic condition of the shoulders in
which there is pain and loss of flexibility. My experience is that as little as one-half teaspoon of
turmeric a day resolves this problem almost completely in just a day or two. Turmeric is claimed to
greatly help arthritis, as well. This again is an individual matter. The only way to know how many

altogether, and should severely limit other grains, such as rice, cornmeal, and oats. While these last
have a lower glycemic index compared to wheat, they are pure carbohydrates, and you are likely to
find that they cause blood-sugar spikes. Testing your blood sugar after eating these grains is your
best guide to your body’s ability to tolerate them. Includes bibliographical references and index.

blood sugar with a glucose meter, using it as directed. As with all things related to diabetes, tolerance
of many foods differs among individuals, and it is up to everyone to decide on their own blood-sugar
target range. It’s often good to decide on the target range with the help of your physician or
endocrinologist, but it’s ultimately up to you. My opinion of Fuhrman’s diet: I found it provides very
good blood-sugar control. As long as I could stick to it, I was able to keep my blood sugar in the
normal range. However, I was only able to stick to this diet during the summer months. During cold
weather, the body’s calorie needs are much higher, and I found that I needed to switch to a diet that
included meat, fish, and more fats. Fuhrman’s diet restricts fats severely, which is perhaps the
biggest problem of staying on this diet. (It makes it hard to get enough calories.) The book focuses
heavily on weight loss, which is unhelpful for the thin, underweight, or even emaciated diabetic. I
think it is a good approach for the overweight diabetic, especially if they live in a warm climate. If
you are an underweight diabetic, you can modify this diet to include more fats (and perhaps more
animal proteins) to assure that you get enough calories.

“Unsaturated fats, like the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and nuts, are needed for your cell
membranes to have the correct shape and ability to communicate. When you eat saturated fats, or
trans-fatty acids, these fats also become part of your cell membranes, but they are more rigid and
don't function like unsaturated fats. Research studies of cells in a culture dish, in which they can be
seen under a microscope, show that saturated and trans-fats in the cell membrane make the cells less

My husband and I both come from diabetic families. I agree so much about moderating the carbs
though, I find that really is the key to controlling blood sugar. Except on special occasions we just
don't bring bread (except for sprouted wheat), rice, pasta, noodles, breakfast cereals, potatoes, corn,
etc. in the house. We also don't do juice & soft drinks. It's made managing diabetes a lot easier
because almost everything has a low glycemic index in the house so we don't get a lot of blood sugar
spikes. And it makes holiday baking & meals when we'll actually put mashed potatoes out on the
table an extra treat, lol. This is a great hub, voted up & shared. Is the category for this document

Qundeel “q” Khattak Tatiana Kiesewetter As you can see, one of the chief characteristics of these
ancient forms of wheat is their far lower glycemic index. The glycemic index of einkorn wheat is low
enough that it is nearly down there with black beans, which have a glycemic index of 35. Cinnamon
is one of the most common natural supplements taken by diabetics to help control blood sugar.
According to the Mayo Clinic, “A 2012 review of several recent studies concluded that the use of
cinnamon had a potentially beneficial effect on glycemic control. One study published in 2009 found
that a 500 mg capsule of cinnamon taken twice a day for 90 days improved hemoglobin A1C
levels.” http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/diabetes/expert-answers/diabetes/FAQ-

17.) What is metabolic syndrome and what symptoms of metabolic syndrome does Mrs. R
demonstrate? • Metabolic syndrome is a combination of metabolic risk factors such as: • Central or
abdominal obesity (measured by waist circumference): • Men - Greater than 40 inches • Women -
Greater than 35 inches • Fasting blood triglycerides greater than or equal to 150 milligrams per
deciliter of blood (mg/dL) • Blood HDL cholesterol: • Men - Less than 40 mg/dL • Women - Less
than 50 mg/dL • Blood pressure greater than or equal to 130/85 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) •
Fasting glucose greater than or equal to 100 mg/dL meaning there’s insulin resistance or intolerance •

the parents offer him or her. School of diabetes, as a rule, gives the concept of the correct and
healthy nutrition, but can be found a lot of reasons for the violation of the diet, from the non-
acceptance of dietary therapy to the insufficient financial well-being of the family, and the choice of
the cheapest "food basket" [10]. ... Hence, if you are a full-blown Type II diabetic, you have two
problems: Reduced insulin production caused by beta-cell death, and cellular insulin resistance.
“[One] study showed that even after a high-carb meal, normal people’s blood sugar rises to about
125 mg/dL for a brief period, with the peak blood sugar being measured at 45 minutes after eating,
and then drops back under 100 mg/dL by the two hour mark.” http://chriskresser.com/when-your-

you have settled on a diet and exercise routine, and have established (by testing) that it is keeping
your blood sugar within your target range. Case 6: Ketoacidosis in a Patient with Type 1 Diabetes on

Feedings Strictly limit sugar in any form. Diabetics rely heavily on artificial sweeteners. Opinions
vary as to the healthfulness of the many artificial sweeteners available. I use stevia, because some
authorities maintain that other artificial sweeteners are detrimental to health in one way or another.
Other authorities point out that some studies showing that a particular artificial sweetener was
harmful were financed by the company’s competitors. The ADA recommends that health-care
professionals should assess patients for risk factors for diabetes, and test those whose risk factors are
high. In my opinion, if testing for diabetes and pre-diabetes is not part of your annual physical check-
up, you should ask your doctor to test for this. While my visits to the doctor were rare before I was
diagnosed with diabetes, I suspect that a simple stick and testing with an ordinary over-the-counter
glucose meter would have revealed elevated blood sugar for at least five years before I was
diagnosed. ¹Institute of Human Development, Center for Endocrinology and Diabetes, University of

Misdiagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes As is not uncommon among undiagnosed diabetics who are
experiencing alarming weight-loss, I began loading up on carbs to try to keep the weight on. I
gobbled home-baked breads and even started drinking Coke—a recipe for making a diabetic very ill
indeed. I became so exhausted that, when I visited a gardening friend, she asked if I “felt up to”
walking outdoors to look at her garden. And I had to cut the visit short because of raging hunger. (At
this stage of diabetes, the body is literally starving, due to its inability to metabolize food.) Case 90:

considered to be good control for BS for someone with diabetes and what is considered poor
control? • Good control is fasting blood glucose at 70-130 mg/dL; post meal <180 mg/dL. • Anything
below the fasting blood glucose means hypoglycemic, and anything above post meal means
hyperglycemic. There are many supplements that are suggested for diabetics—too many to discuss
